Today marked the official presentation ceremony in honour of Amaya Thomas, a pupil of Rupertee Primary School, who was awarded First Prize for Best Reader for her outstanding performance in the dialogue presented by the National Literacy Department. On behalf of the Unit, Ms. Jean La Rose, Education Officer – Literacy, had the honour of presenting Amaya with her well-deserved award. In her remarks, Ms. La Rose commended Amaya for her achievement and encouraged her, along with her teachers and fellow pupils, to remain committed to literacy, continuous learning, and the pursuit of excellence.
We extend our sincere congratulations and best wishes to Amaya as she continues her educational journey. We also express our appreciation to the National Literacy Department for this commendable initiative, which provides meaningful opportunities to recognise and encourage excellence in reading and literacy among our pupils.
Amaya’s achievement is a testament to the value of dedication, perseverance, and effective support from teachers and schools. We encourage all schools to continue nurturing a culture of reading and learning, and we remind our pupils that every achievement begins with determination and a willingness to strive for excellence. Let us continue to inspire our young learners to set high goals, work diligently towards them, and reach for the highest heights of success.
