Governor General of Barbados His Excellency Sir Elliott Belgrave meeting students of Half Moon Fort Primary School.
HALF Moon Fort Primary School has been making great strides academically, socially and athletically.
However, the one challenge is the number of students it attracts each year.
With a roll of less than 100, Principal Veronica Best revealed that in order to participate in many activities, children are drawn from throughout the school.
“This puts an extra burden on some classes… This, however, will not deter us from reaching our goals,” she expressed to His Excellency Sir Elliott Belgrave during his official visit to the St. Lucy school, yesterday.
The students and staff of Half Moon Fort have been eagerly anticipating the visit by the Governor General of Barbados for over a year. He has been visiting the primary schools across the island with the hope that the visits will motivate, encourage and inspire principals, teachers and especially the students, to do the best they can at all times, in their respective roles.
“We at Half Moon Fort Primary School see Your Excellency as the embodiment of those good Barbadian values which speak to honesty, decency, respect and dedication,” Principal Best pointed out.
“Your presence will therefore help significantly in motivating and inspiring our students as they go about their various pursuits.” (TL)
