Minister of Science & Technology Dr. the Honourable Rupert Griffith congratulates award recipient and 2014 Graduate, Odell James

Today marks the first graduation ceremony under the stewardship of School Principal Mr. Shazard Mohammed.  Held under the theme "Dream Beyond Your Expectations", the 34 item programme was filled with many key addresses and musical performances.

A key presentation was  made by Dr. Rupert Griffith, the current Minister of Science & Technology, and the parliamentary representative for Toco/Sangre Grande. Nevertheless, the feature address was delivered by Ms. A. P. Toussaint. The ceremony, however, was concluded with a special dedication made to honour the service of former Principal, Ms. Denise L.J. Hernandez to this school.

Here are some more highlights of the ceremony:
