JC Board WhatsApp Community

The JC Board WhatsApp Community is a vibrant digital medium which will allow the Board to communicate quickly and seamlessly with Jamaica College alumni, students, parents and other stakeholders. The intention will be to impart limited information of importance, in a manner that is measured and non-intrusive, while facilitating private feedback.

We take your privacy seriously. Our community structure uses WhatsApp's built-in privacy features along with additional measures to ensure your number remains private. Only community administrators can see member contact details. You control what you share and who can contact you, while still staying connected to the broader JC community.

Absolutely! We've designed the community to embrace existing JC WhatsApp groups. Your group can join the broader community while maintaining its current administration and autonomy. This integration allows your group members to directly receive JC Board Community wide announcements and send feedback privately to the Board, while preserving your group's unique identity and dynamics.
