The room erupted with cheers of approval and pride as Shania Thomas collected the Joyce Morris Memorial Award for being the Student of the Year, the Wendy Howard Memorial Award for achieving the highest score in English and the Principal’s Award.
Thomas also received prizes for earning the highest overall score in the Barbados Secondary Schools’ Entrance Examination (BSSEE). Abianna Fenty also shared the Principal’s Award and the Wendy Howard Memorial Award with Thomas.

Principal of the school, Dr. Monica Walton, expressed that she was extremely proud of the students’ achievements and applauded them on the completion of the first phase of their educational journey. She encouraged them to be of good character as they entered into their new schools in September.
She expressed that she expected them to continue being caring, hard-working, have a positive attitude, respectful, ambitious, confident, truthful, responsible students who had high expectations for themselves. She encouraged them to accept responsibility for their actions and reminded them that with every action followed a consequence.
“I offer the heartiest congratulations to all of you and trust that you will take your character in hand as you go forward to a bright future. You are here to achieve; the world is your oyster. You have a sense of purpose,” she concluded. (CLF)
