The Orange Girls

While on the ferry, we noticed a few young ladies outfitted in Orange dresses. We started guessing: nurses? flight attendents? -- we couldn't figure it out -- so we asked.

They are in college on St. Vincent.

The SVG school system is modeled on the British, which gets a little odd around Junior/Senior high school area. -- which are called sixth and form -- some form levels are also called College.

So these girls are in the last year of school prior to University.

On SVG, all the school kids are in uniform and the different schools have different school colors; black and white, Khaki and white, etc.. It is actually quite interesting to see all the kids walking around in uniform.. and they do not seem to be into the ubiquitous phone/text/gaming thing. They actually talk to each other.
