It is an annual event that the Bartica Old Students’ Committee places emphasis on the recognition of students who obtained over 500 marks at the National Grade Six Assessment. Adding to this, special recognition is also given to the top student that wrote the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate Examination (CSEC) in the area.
The Bartica Old Students’ Committee was founded by Carlos Prowell and Nirvana Burnett some five years ago. The Bartica Three Miles Secondary school held its annual graduation on Thursday September 29, 2016 and the top CSEC student, Shonetta Tyrell, was awarded a Lenovo tablet. She was able to obtain passes in 14 subjects, inclusive of six Grade Ones, Four Grade Twos and Four Grade Threes.
The two top students of the NGSA were also each awarded a Lenovo tablet. These were Romel Smith from St. John Primary School who, coincidentally, was named Region 7’s top performer with 526 marks, and Corina Clementson from the St. Anthony Primary who attained 500 marks.
The Lenova Tablets were sponsored by El Dorado Trading’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tamesh Jagmohan, and Vishnu Panday and Associates Inc. in collaboration with the Bank of Nova Scotia.
