History of Hockey & St Andrew
A Rich and Wonderful History –
From the inception hockey has been an important part of life at St Andrew. A hockey field was already on the Cecelio Avenue property when it was purchased. The School and Old Girls have maintained a strong tradition of leadership on and off the hockey field as well as being many time Champions in inter school and club competitions. Many all-Jamaica captains came from SAHS.
