Presbyterian secondary schools on top

Among the other top performing Presbyterian schools were Hillview College, which received 15 Open scholarships, the most of any school, and St Augustine Girls High School which earned the most scholarships (Open and Additional) overall with 45 scholarships.

Mohammed-Ali said Naparima Girls’ High School added to the education landscape and the scholarships copped by its graduates were “a topping on the cake”.

Scholarships were awarded to students in areas of Business, Languages, Mathematics, Modern Studies, Environmental Studies, Technology Studies and Natural Sciences. Mohammed- Ali said the Presbyterian Board along with principals and staff have been instrumental in the success of the achievements of students.

“Every school must aim to broaden the opportunities for the holistic and positive development of children, not only in the area of academics, but by developing the physical, social and moral facets of life,” she said.

Presbyterian Moderator Reverend Annabell Lalla-Ramkelawan urged students to discern their strengths and their weaknesses as they move forward in their educational journey.

“Look down the road and keep reaching, keep seeking and dream to dream dreams, because dreams can come true with hard work,” Lalla-Ramkhelawan said.
