Moneague College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moneague College is a teacher training college situated in the small town of Moneague, Saint Ann, Jamaica on the main road between Kingston and Ocho Rios.
The college is partly situated in the former colonial-era Moneague Hotel.
[edit] History
The Moneague Hotel was built in 1891. Over the years it passed hands as well as its function. During World War II it was a soldier's camp. In 1956, Dr Aubrey Phillips founded Moneague College on the site of the former hotel. The college has expanded today, but the original colonial building of the hotel still stands and is currently used as student accommodation and for administration purposes.
[edit] Footstep 11
In July 2007, Moneague College hosted the Footstep 11 International Youth Conference. The environmental event was organised by Global Footsteps and the UK based educational charity The Rendezvous Society.
