PERFECT SCORES

Six students scored 100 per cent in all subject areas of the Grade Six Achievement Test, which was conducted in March.

Two of the students are from Emanuel Christian Academy, and there is one each from Kensington Primary School, Stella Maris Prep School, Meadowbrook Prep School and St Hugh's Prep School.

The six students were among 1,000 top-performing students from all 14 parishes who were awarded at a ceremony, which was held at the National Arena on Thursday

Education Minister Senator Reid encouraged the youth to continue striving for excellence at the secondary level as it is their performance that will contribute to the growth and development of the nation.

"Awardees, as you make the transition from the primary level to high school, I urge you to remain focused. The challenges you will face will be greater than those you have faced over the past six years," he said.

"I am confident, however, that in the same way you managed to overcome past challenges, you will also manage the new ones that lie ahead," the minister said.
