Excellence at Pentecostal High School

THE EDITOR: Last Saturday, I accompanied my 12-year-old cousin to a concert labelled “An Evening of Love and Harmony,” put on by the students of the Miracle Ministries Pentecostal High School. My cousin had performed exceedingly well in her SEA exams and had got her first choice — the said school — which is one of the newer prestige schools. Our dear little lady had informed everyone in the family that she wanted to attend this particular concert of “my new school” as the “gift” for her proud success.

I had heard and read of the three-year-old Miracle Ministries Pentecostal School’s remarkable achievements in academics, sports and the arts, but the magnificent programme on that afternoon exceeded my expectations. I had secretly thought that some people were perhaps exaggerating when they spoke of the outstanding talents and quality of the students and staff of the school, but my quiet assumptions were so wrong. I saw superb talent in music, song, dance, drama and tremendous creativity. The school had its complete steel band with trained, focused students playing with the skill of champions. There were elaborate Indian, African and multi-cultural presentations, complete with attractive outfits and costumes to suit the occasion. Many of the students were evidently multi-gifted, as they could be seen involved in various acts and items in the programme.

I particularly admired the high level of discipline and organisation among the students, teachers and other organisers. I sat there thinking, “If only some of the organisers of those ‘big shows’ could see this splendid flow.” No wonder the massive opera theatre-type Christ Castle auditorium was packed to capacity with people standing on the balconies, taking in the three-hour show. Congrats, Rev Dr Winston Cuffie, and all the folks at Miracle Ministries Pentecostal High. Keep up your great work.
