I have read a few of the comments, and I see just how many people still don't get it. A lot of the comments are saying people love winners. I can assure you that if KC came in 10th, 90% of the supporters would still be in the stands. When KC was losing, we continued to have the most supporters, and there was not one KC pass student who was afraid to wear his colors and show public support for his school. Unless you have a child, brother, or close relative who goes to the school, it's challenging to understand how this institution has positively impacted the lives of poor young men. KC was built for poor young men; take notice, all the other boy schools are above the hero's circle. Looking at the young men that come in each year and for the 5 or 7 years they spend there, just how the school changes their lives. Many, many of the old boys will tell you if it wasn't for KC, they don't know where they would be. And the very few that leave with 2 or 3 subjects have the never-yielding mindset that they will find a way to turn their lives. I visit the school, and I see the faces of many of these Youths, kids that society would cast out as criminals because of just how they look, coming from the deep inner city. But upon leaving KC and seeing them through university, it's a fantastic transformation. The females are primarily mothers of KC students, present and past, and wives of KC old boys. They are the one who keeps giving to the school. They are pleased with the outcome of their sons, and the wives are super happy with the wonderful husband they have inherited. 5:39
As a KC alumni class of 91, I believe that the school has built a rich culture in sports and academics over the years, and no matter what, win or lose, we support Fortis. I reside outside of Jamaica and there's an Old boy Association in Toronto, that's active for the past 50 years and I support it wholeheartedly. Other schools can create the same culture that KC has, in order to lift up their school and by extention the country at large. Fortis 💜 forever!!!
Other schools produce students, Wolmers produce Jamaican ambassadors. There’s a special respect for KC because KC was the bypass to the colorism Wolmers showed in early years. As a Wolmers Old Boy, I have to respect KC for that. Many of Jamaica’s talents were diverted to KC because of this colour prejudice leading to a lasting legacy.
i believe the people are seeing where the money is going hence the reason why they are donating...when they give to the country corrupt leaders take it for themselves.
As a KC past student you have no idea how the alumni has made my journey easier. Even my text books were loan/rented to me. I never bought a text book in my entire high school life and I was never out of any. Thanks for the system that was put in place to facilitate my needs just to be at school. For that I take it as my responsibility to give back to the KC in anyway I can. As a patriot of Jamaica, I definitely will choose to give back to my school much quicker than for my country simply because I have seen the results of KC’s system but I’ve yet to see the results of the government’s to people like me and other who needed them. # 1 college. Fortis is a lifestyle.
I had transferred to Calabar as I got a track scholarship and my principal at Titchfield was making the move there as well. When I went to Calabar it was night and day. Titchfield is my forever love and it took me attending Calabar for 2 years to make me fall in love with Titchfield all over again.
As a Wolmerian, i endorse EVERYTHING YOU SAID MAVERICK. KC just DIFFERENT YOW. Big up TO DAVE MYRIE. He's the one who made Wolmer's Boys' what it is today. I am happy he is at KC making a difference.
Maverick , anybody associated with KC are proud people . I left KC in 96 and I still have my school tie and emblem .KC alumni, even myself is all about excellence and working towards success. This is something the institution instill in the current and past students.
It's not necessarily so oral. You have to understand that there are wives, daughters, etc, that are not affiliated with local schools but are living overseas and in a position to help their favorite school.
These females are mothers, wives,daughters,female teachers and parents of teachers who decide to put their resources towards that institution rather than share it around
As a member of the 96 class, my heart still beats purple till this day. However I'm not as eccentric as a lot of Fortis Nation members. During my tenure of 7 yrs we never won champs but the vibes and support was awesome. My younger brother and my son attended KC. So the tradition lives on Fortis4eva
Some of these women probably have children, husbands, and other family members that attend or once attended the school, hence the support. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with that. Besides, people pick and choose what is worth investing in.
Maverick, my nephew went to KC my sister and i ofter ask what they teaches them there,when i tell you the pride he had for that purple and white tie was indescribable..My sisters house got painted in purple and that alone tells you something..RIP Rick we continues to let purplereign💜🤍💜
Mr Maverick , please please leave KC alone , schooling begins at home but your education and preparation for the world starts at schools . The support of the KC old boys associations are excellent in providing assistance to ALL aspects of the school programs . The motto says it all , the brave May fall but will never yield , what an embodied belief to inspire on a young upcoming future for the Jamaican society.
" The brave may fall but never yield" is a more believeable statement than " Out of many, one people" Actions speak louder than word and the actions of some (too many) public sector workers of this country have shown ppl to invest where they know their money and efforts will go directly to benefiting the people it was intended for. KC cont. To build Jamaica by building up the future of Jamaica- our kids. More blessings to this school and I pray others follow and create something great for their own schools.
Human being love winners. ❤️ Kingston College is not a cult. But the culture that is breathe into us, help us through out our lives. Therefore, we have to look back and pull the next generation forward through whatever means necessary. We don't throw stone behind us. Fortis forever. That's the purple 💜 power.
Exactly @geeroy880. He clearly don't think before he speak. Him never know it's the only boy school with a HEADGIRL😂 and him nuh read him Bible ST. JOHN seh "EVERY MAN TO HIM IWN ORDER" People CAN SUPPORT who dem like. People from other Boys and Girls schools ADMIRE KC for their DEEP LOYALY so what's wrong with DAT😮
@@OralTraceyMaverick the reason you say it’s a dumb analogy it’s because I’m taking YOUR reasoning to its logical conclusion. If one should only support the school they attend, then by default one should only support Liverpool if they lived there or played for the team. However, EPL is a global brand with fans worldwide which nullifies that argument. Same way CHAMPS is almost a global staple. Therefore you can’t police which school I support. And what if a woman’s son attended KC, is she not allowed to support that school?
Great analogy boss. A club in another continent, country and city . So far away. Zero real connection. At least the females here have husbands, sons and relatives etc that attended
Congrats KC! The irony to all this KC Cult talk is that I'm a proud STATHS graduate who was well prepared to enter the job market as an engineering apprentice straight out of high school. This is by no means a slight to the academic standards of high schools such as KC. I would hasten to add that like the vast majority of school age boys, I grew up dreaming of attending KC due to its reputation and appeal even back in my days. My brother, a proud KC alum, is quick to show off his original copy of Sports Illustration featured story titled "LAND OF SPRINTERS AND DREAMERS". KC's allure and mystique will never fade.
A nuh love dem nuh love e country memba wah deh produce. Jamaican love winners and once u start win ppl go invest. Ppl fraid fi tek risk and dem can't see raw talent until it reach a level.
People, especially Jamaicans like to know they support something which they believe is going somewhere. What other schools need to do is work on a strategy how their team can get the best support. When a man loves his school, he is proud to be associated with it. Why not take a page out of K. C.'s manual rather than discrimination against an all boys' high school, Oral Tracey. Let Jamaica celebrate wholeheartedly without your critics.
Maverick, is that you're saying the past student should give less to the school and more to the country? That would make sense in the ideal world, but in a where there is so much corruption and dishonest leaders. You can't expect to be dedicated and willing to give their hard earn monies to them. Whiles on the other side the contributions to your past school is more worthwhile because you're helping making a difference in a lot of young people lives by affording them scholarships and a chance a education at a university or college
me rarely hear him talk about his school on the radio much less support them publicly...all him talk about is Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool we see politicians and even artists support them in school.. which high school him use to go to by the way?
All Alumini associations make massive contributions to the country its simply via their respective associations. Your favorite political parties and members don't do 10% of what Alumini Associations do. So its not only KCOBA but all the other schools that have active support groups do. And for those schools late to the party, if you want to help Jamaica help your school from primary to high schools your favorite politicians not gonna do it. Jamaica Land we love Fortis nation we playing our part to make Jamaica Great
FORTIS4LIFE!!! Maverick - love how you deal with every aspect of Jamaican news an' ting. But the 2a North Street ting is in of itself a phenomenon as you alluded to, that is not easily understand....unless you were a student of the great KC The cult argument mostly comes from people like Oral Tracy, who only dreamt of attending Kingston College. Maverick yuh haffi past thru the gates of KC to grasp "School ova Country" & Fortis4Ever & the purple blood ting 😂 Maverick, you crossed the line when you suggested that grown men who attended KC are seemingly "immature" to still embrace KC as if they are still enthusiastic students....watch yuh mout' bredda!! 😊 Here is the secret - none of us graduated & we never will. Fortis4Life Hope to see you at the stadium next year as we celebrate our 100th anniversary as a nation. Bless up Maverick...you are now an Honorary KCOB 😅😅
A which school Maverick did go? Your school no mention... Serious now...European football is a cult then... We are a small country. In North America people follow their universities with the same zeal. Look at March Madness in basketball.
You support a cause when you know that your support goes where it is suppose to go. You see where your money goes with KC. I'm not a KC fan but one can not help but admire the unity, commitment and the causes that they support. You can trust them to manage the funds you contribute.
KC is a cult. Welcome to supremacy 101.😂 I’m not a KC Allum but I respect how they support each other over the years. Trust me I wish my alma mater had just 1% of KC old boys energy; we would be a better institution for it. Na call no name.
The other alumni are stipid if they support other school and not theirs. My husband graduate from Holmwood Tech 1970 and I graduate from Manchester High 1972 and still support our school here in America.
Why are you ASSUMING what he says is true. 😮 people are entitled to choose who they want to cheer for. Him cheer for Liverpool him never even guh there much less play ball for them so what is his PROBLEM. COME ON😮 @ user-3rgif5fp1y.5d
I went 90-95 weeks didn’t win champs….big up Davian Clarke. No Manning Cup only Cricket and School Challenge Quiz but the love and support was still there Fortis 4 Life
I am a past student of the greatest high school in the world Kingston College and let me tell you this my mother believe it or not LOVE KC more than how me love KC 😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed. I've always noticed the strong support for KC and a few others and believe that Jamaica would succeed in sports outside of track n field if they get strong support. I also agree with you on the wagonist attitude. Ppl love to b associated with winners even over their own school and will support when the school is already winning.
These people love their schools because their schools are winning. Is Jamaica winning? Are our politicians winners? Would they care enough to use money and services given wisely?
To understand the love we have for our school, you would have had to attend the school. Walked through the gates of clovelley and entered the hallowed halls of the school and be part of the greatest school family known to man. Untill you have experienced that, you will lack the understanding of why we are the way we are, why our battle cry, will always be Fortis!!!!
The most accurate comment you made was the last part.. champs is boring without the KC CALABAR rivalry.. thats so true.. the stadium was empty Saturday.. CALABAR needs to hurry up and find back their winning form.. the coach needs to go he cant be coaching two top champs chasing school hydel and CALABAR!! It was obvious he was more focused on hydel retaining their title than CALABAR winning champs.
I don’t know much about the Jamaican education system, but I have been informed that foreign nationals support elementary and secondary schools in Jamaica because the government does not provide sufficient financial support for the educators system.
Mav. 1) It’s not all KC past students help the school. 80/20 rule. Some just show up fi ray, ray inna dem colors when wi a win. 2) Being one of the top traditional Boy Schools in what would be called the ghetto, our product has been spectacular. Scholastically and otherwise over the past 99 yrs. That’s why many have come back to pay forward. We remember where we were, as a schoolaz. 3) Yes, we are proud, and unapologetically a true brotherhood. 3) The ladies issue is something I can relate to. My Mom had children in JC, Immaculate, and Merl Grove at the same time. She gravitated to the KC family. Throughout her life, her fav color was purple. It’s just a ting ! I can’t explain it but to say, people gravitate to goodness n progress.
Maverick very great take…….u wld have to go to KC to understand …….and I will tell u, each KC person have it all compartmentalized, and the support both ways is a microcosm of dealing with life…….n true brother/sisterhood ……KC is a facet of Jamaica that is very inspiring like it or not 😊
It’s really weird that ppl hate the school without looking at the history of the school, I am not a pass student but I am a big supporter. This school was built to give inter city boys a chance to grow into a family, to love and respect each other, Jamaican need to take a page out of these guys book
Well said mi Gena. Before there was a KC only brown man yutes coulda go a di existing boys school. Remember: KC was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT that was not expected to be successful. LOOK AT IT NOW. FORTIS FOREVER 💜 🤍
Let me like this video before I even watch it. I so look forward to your videos every day! That don't mean that I share your opinion on all of them! Thanks for doing an important job - the most credible news 🙏
Maverick, I believe you got this one very wrong. KC & Bar Old Boys should be the deacon for the government and country. KC, Bar and other institutes are the perfect examples of investing into its people, and reaping the benefits. If the government who represents the country, doesn't invest into its people, and focus on foreign investors, then naturally, there will be reservations for commitment. It's a no brainier.
You started out with a critique of KC and Calabar by mid way into the end, all u talk bout is KC... Your bias is obvious! KC past students do contribute to nation building...KC is no cult... KC is a culture... And all u can spew is jealousy... "Gang up on KC" Really dude???
I think all past students should try to be a part of their former school alumni or past student group. In doing so they can help to support their schools in various ventures not just sports.
Oral you hit the nail squarely on the head. This is why they had to join Girls and Boys Champs. Every year Girls champs got little or no support, but stadium full every year for Boys champs with female spectators. One wonders how competitive champs would be if that level of support was spread across to the other schools😮😮
Most people don't seem to want to or have the patience to start from scratch. They don't seem to like getting behind "work in progress". Its more of a follow the hype thing. Anything to gain relevance and spotlight
This is the thing!! Old boys have a sense of loyalty to their skl bec they know what the skl would have done for them. Hence the reason they always give back. On the flip slide, a man would be more reluctant to give money to a country bec the first question is gonna be “what the country ever do for them?”
Fada Oral you did affi guh deh fi understand the loyalty, rest a school dem just nuh have dem type a loyalty yah. You know sey a KC Mek other school alumnus have pride inna dem school.
It's not just Jamaica. Chelsea football club always had loyal supporters, but when they started doing well they gained thousands more supporters, not from that side of London, not even from England. People call them "glory hunters" its a natural phenomenon and then they spend big-money on shirts , tickets etc. Sponsors do the same thing. In fact, you look at any big international track meet. You think that all those people waving Jamaican flags are in any way Jamaican? They are not, but they will buy the t-shirts wave the flags and even visit the island. I speak as a proud Raven (Saint Jago High School graduate )who was outside of the country the first time won boys champs, but was sending telegrams to the school and having big celebrations in London. Respect to KC and their supporters.
YOUR ARGUMENT LACKS EDUCATED RESEARCH. INVESTING IN SPORTS AND EDUCATION IS ALSO INVESTING IN JAMAICA. KC ALUMNI CHAPTERS DONT ONLY INVEST IN SPORTS WE INVEST IN EDUCATION AS WELL WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE INVESTMENT IN JAMAICA. WE KNOW YOU WANTED TO GO TO KC WE USED TO SEE YOU A PEEP 👀 OVER THE FENCE😂🎉. CELEBRATE DONT HATE
Jamaica is very rich. Money, just not circulating,how it should, for the overall development for the economy. The thieving politicians, is the culprit for that.look at Jamaica, housing market. It's definitely booming.Jamaica should be moving towards first world status now.
Sir oral even though you have some valid points .. Speaking as a past student of KC you have to understand the KC culture to correction speak about KC.. remember KC was born out of need, the need to give poor Yutes the opportunity to make the best out of every kid that walks through those gates hence the need for every past student giving back because they have benefited in some way shape or form .. as for the females ,their sons , husband,brothers , adopted kids have attended KC so they have no choice plus people live winners ..
KC is a CULTure...you have to be to feel it. Maverick I sense a little thing .. feeling u have fi KC, like u wish u were FORTIS! ITS OK we accept associates
It speaks to the Power and allure of KC ! The other schools need to research it! And Jamaica’s Leadership needs to do the same! Sir ! You need to see how they help persons from KC who are in the doldrums! I applaud them! The rest must go and learn! #Lovesign

I am a past student of the greatest high school in the world Kingston College and let me tell you this my mother believe it or not LOVE KC more than how me love KC 😂😂😂😂😂
Re the female support to KC. People support winners
Calabar old boy here , this is true
Bad mind is active 😂😂😂 Fortis 4 Eva.
Agreed. I've always noticed the strong support for KC and a few others and believe that Jamaica would succeed in sports outside of track n field if they get strong support. I also agree with you on the wagonist attitude. Ppl love to b associated with winners even over their own school and will support when the school is already winning.
These people love their schools because their schools are winning. Is Jamaica winning? Are our politicians winners? Would they care enough to use money and services given wisely?
And Jamaica wasn’t winning in Beijing or London ?
I went to Champs every year from 1985 to 1992 as school boy, we did not win until 2001 and I rarely miss Champs
no we love Kingston College win or lose. Hands down best all boys school in the Caribbean
@@BigcrooksPlease read again and try to understand what this person is implying. It's not about sports only.
I agree with everything you say. So many Jamaican adults are operating at a young child's level.
We are going to paint JA purple 😂😂KC to the world
Everyone loves a winner ~ wagonist is right!
To understand the love we have for our school, you would have had to attend the school. Walked through the gates of clovelley and entered the hallowed halls of the school and be part of the greatest school family known to man. Untill you have experienced that, you will lack the understanding of why we are the way we are, why our battle cry, will always be Fortis!!!!
The most accurate comment you made was the last part.. champs is boring without the KC CALABAR rivalry.. thats so true.. the stadium was empty Saturday.. CALABAR needs to hurry up and find back their winning form.. the coach needs to go he cant be coaching two top champs chasing school hydel and CALABAR!! It was obvious he was more focused on hydel retaining their title than CALABAR winning champs.
If you like KC raise your hand. If your don’t like KC raise your standard.
Suh me seh tuh@fortis 7509.2d
I don’t know much about the Jamaican education system, but I have been informed that foreign nationals support elementary and secondary schools in Jamaica because the government does not provide sufficient financial support for the educators system.
I’ll put my brothers over country on any given day. I came from extreme poverty and when I look at the doors opened for me by them, it is only right.
Mav. 1) It’s not all KC past students help the school. 80/20 rule. Some just show up fi ray, ray inna dem colors when wi a win.
2) Being one of the top traditional Boy Schools in what would be called the ghetto, our product has been spectacular. Scholastically and otherwise over the past 99 yrs. That’s why many have come back to pay forward. We remember where we were, as a schoolaz.
3) Yes, we are proud, and unapologetically a true brotherhood.
3) The ladies issue is something I can relate to. My Mom had children in JC, Immaculate, and Merl Grove at the same time. She gravitated to the KC family. Throughout her life, her fav color was purple. It’s just a ting ! I can’t explain it but to say, people gravitate to goodness n progress.
Maverick very great take…….u wld have to go to KC to understand …….and I will tell u, each KC person have it all compartmentalized, and the support both ways is a microcosm of dealing with life…….n true brother/sisterhood ……KC is a facet of Jamaica that is very inspiring like it or not 😊
Tell him @paulwaynereggae.3dago
3:55 " me never go KC ", wow that was obvious 😂😂😂.
I agree with everything you said about these grown adults in schools champs. Not grown up in there mind
It’s really weird that ppl hate the school without looking at the history of the school, I am not a pass student but I am a big supporter. This school was built to give inter city boys a chance to grow into a family, to love and respect each other, Jamaican need to take a page out of these guys book
Well said mi Gena. Before there was a KC only brown man yutes coulda go a di existing boys school. Remember: KC was a SOCIAL EXPERIMENT that was not expected to be successful. LOOK AT IT NOW. FORTIS FOREVER 💜 🤍
Oral sometimes the woman them that support kc and Calabar they had a brother or a son use to attend the school I have experience of that situation
Why you love Liverpool? What about Harbour View or Boy's Town?
The KC people are in the world doing great things. Thank you Champs would not be champs without KC, Cbar
Forever Fortis 💜💜💜💜💜. It’s a lifestyle 💜💜💜💜🙏
This is so true. I always support there alumni functions in Atlanta.
Let me like this video before I even watch it. I so look forward to your videos every day! That don't mean that I share your opinion on all of them! Thanks for doing an important job - the most credible news 🙏
I thought it was weird to like the videos before watching it but that's my habit to do everytime😅
Maverick, I believe you got this one very wrong.
KC & Bar Old Boys should be the deacon for the government and country.
KC, Bar and other institutes are the perfect examples of investing into its people, and reaping the benefits.
If the government who represents the country, doesn't invest into its people, and focus on foreign investors, then naturally, there will be reservations for commitment.
It's a no brainier.
You started out with a critique of KC and Calabar by mid way into the end, all u talk bout is KC... Your bias is obvious! KC past students do contribute to nation building...KC is no cult... KC is a culture... And all u can spew is jealousy... "Gang up on KC" Really dude???
Agree@sleepy8819.5dago. All of a sudden it was all about KC. It says something on his part.Him clearly have SERIOUS ISSUES.
Make the principal for KC/ C-Bar run the country and not Conju and you'll see the country in a better place
😂
Dwl conju
Haven’t we seen enough of Principals going into Politics?
As a KC old boy, half my wealth in life will go to KC when I am old. And not apologising or debating anyone about it!!! My blood is purple, 💜
That's it @dayne9559.5d and you have no APOLOGY IDA.😂
Jamaicans love winners maverick that it
No, you give back to what has given to you. If KC past students want to give to their school let them do it...
People give what they want to who they want. Leave the people them alone. Hope you doing something for your school.
You will never understand the Power of 2A North Street mr. Mavrick. It's just a Fortis thing.
I think all past students should try to be a part of their former school alumni or past student group. In doing so they can help to support their schools in various ventures not just sports.
Oral you hit the nail squarely on the head. This is why they had to join Girls and Boys Champs. Every year Girls champs got little or no support, but stadium full every year for Boys champs with female spectators. One wonders how competitive champs would be if that level of support was spread across to the other schools😮😮
Helping your school is helping your country
Jamaicans love thier political parties during election, Brazil during world cup, KC n Calabar in Champs more than how them love Jamaica
Everyone likes a winner 🥇
Everyone likes effort, everyone didn’t start where they are now
Remember that
Stop badmind the thing Maverick 😁
Most if not all of those females are either Moms, sisters, wives or other relatives of a KC student
You never talk a better truth right now mi cant belive how kc old boys
Wi nuh want no calm next year, Oral.
KC to di wurl!!
Oral, the female support can be from the mothers who's children attended the school.
@Ash-kx8us I concur.
Most people don't seem to want to or have the patience to start from scratch. They don't seem to like getting behind "work in progress". Its more of a follow the hype thing. Anything to gain relevance and spotlight
Maverick - U sound grudgeful and bad mind
This is the thing!! Old boys have a sense of loyalty to their skl bec they know what the skl would have done for them. Hence the reason they always give back.
On the flip slide, a man would be more reluctant to give money to a country bec the first question is gonna be “what the country ever do for them?”
Maverick, please allow me to unravel the mystery surrounding Kingston College, for you: The Most Reverend Bishop Perceval Gibson.
Fada Oral you did affi guh deh fi understand the loyalty, rest a school dem just nuh have dem type a loyalty yah. You know sey a KC Mek other school alumnus have pride inna dem school.
Understand it for real Maverick. Real waggons country.
It's not just Jamaica. Chelsea football club always had loyal supporters, but when they started doing well they gained thousands more supporters, not from that side of London, not even from England. People call them "glory hunters" its a natural phenomenon and then they spend big-money on shirts , tickets etc. Sponsors do the same thing. In fact, you look at any big international track meet. You think that all those people waving Jamaican flags are in any way Jamaican? They are not, but they will buy the t-shirts wave the flags and even visit the island. I speak as a proud Raven (Saint Jago High School graduate )who was outside of the country the first time won boys champs, but was sending telegrams to the school and having big celebrations in London. Respect to KC and their supporters.
YOUR ARGUMENT LACKS EDUCATED RESEARCH. INVESTING IN SPORTS AND EDUCATION IS ALSO INVESTING IN JAMAICA. KC ALUMNI CHAPTERS DONT ONLY INVEST IN SPORTS WE INVEST IN EDUCATION AS WELL WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE INVESTMENT IN JAMAICA. WE KNOW YOU WANTED TO GO TO KC WE USED TO SEE YOU A PEEP 👀 OVER THE FENCE😂🎉. CELEBRATE DONT HATE
True word!!
KC is the #1 school in the world
I💜 KC
Maybe the mothers or sisters of the young men that went to KC Support Casey as well
Jamaica is very rich. Money, just not circulating,how it should, for the overall development for the economy. The thieving politicians, is the culprit for that.look at Jamaica, housing market. It's definitely booming.Jamaica should be moving towards first world status now.
Totally agree with you 1000%
I move on past divorcement but FORTIS 4 LIFE.
Purple blood 💜 fi life🎉😂 we female fan base HUGE 💜
Sir oral even though you have some valid points .. Speaking as a past student of KC you have to understand the KC culture to correction speak about KC.. remember KC was born out of need, the need to give poor Yutes the opportunity to make the best out of every kid that walks through those gates hence the need for every past student giving back because they have benefited in some way shape or form .. as for the females ,their sons , husband,brothers , adopted kids have attended KC so they have no choice plus people live winners ..
KC is a CULTure...you have to be to feel it. Maverick
I sense a little thing ..
feeling u have fi KC, like u wish u were FORTIS! ITS OK we accept associates
Schools that have one gender money and love of sports will win the most
It speaks to the Power and allure of KC ! The other schools need to research it! And Jamaica’s Leadership needs to do the same!
Sir ! You need to see how they help persons from KC who are in the doldrums! I applaud them! The rest must go and learn!
