    That school use to be a school nobody wanted to send their children. It was a school the rejected studengs attended. Wow. I love what i just watched. Good job.

    We have to begin to speak positive vibes into the atmosphere concerning these schools. There are other schools in Antigua that got bad reputations that have never been given a fair chance

    I love these videos that focuses on change and development. I’m so proud of this news team. I’m also proud of OCS

    I’m a ghetto child, so you know I know about OCS both my older siblings went there and let me tell you, there is indeed a change!! Ottos was always known for “badness”. Use to live at the burtons apartment went the old schools walking pass and the conduct was not becoming. They were mainly identified by the uniform and you’d just hear “fummi pickney cyah go dah schoo dey” but for today a lot has changed and nobody mind anymore. I love that

    Positive transformation. Well overdue.

    Great video antigua.news. you really shined the light on OCS. Somehow there has always been a bad impression about that school but it is changing now. Even before this video i realize that a change was slowly coming along.

    No matter what they say Ottos Comprehensive is the bast.

    The transformation was long coming. I was skeptical about sending my son there and he did extremely well. It’s no longer a school for last resort and that perception has certainly changed over the years
