The Diego Mar­tin Bor­ough Cor­po­ra­tion ho­n­oured 20 top-per­form­ing Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA) stu­dents dur­ing an awards cer­e­mo­ny held on Thurs­day 19th March at the Diego Mar­tin South Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre.

Coun­cil­lors and school prin­ci­pals across the bor­ough iden­ti­fied the stu­dents based on their per­for­mance in the ex­am.

Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer Sher­ry Hazel-Loney told the stu­dents to con­tin­ue push­ing them­selves and avoid be­com­ing com­pla­cent.

May­or Ake­li­ah Glas­gow-Warn­er told the awardees, “You are our fu­ture doc­tors, en­gi­neers, teach­ers, sci­en­tists, en­tre­pre­neurs, artists, and lead­ers,” and urged them to stay fo­cused on their ed­u­ca­tion and make use of the sup­port around them.

Stu­dents re­ceived their awards in front of par­ents, teach­ers and school­mates.

Coun­cil­lor Mar­cia Marslin, chair­man of the Sport, Youth De­vel­op­ment and Ed­u­ca­tion Com­mit­tee, told the stu­dents, “Pass­ing these ex­ams is proof that ded­i­ca­tion pays off. This is not the end, but the be­gin­ning of new op­por­tu­ni­ties. Car­ry for­ward the same en­er­gy, cu­rios­i­ty, and de­ter­mi­na­tion in­to the next chap­ter of your lives.”

Deputy May­or Va­liesha Sook­dar, coun­cil­lors and ad­min­is­tra­tive staff al­so at­tend­ed the event.
