Arima Boys Government Primary tops Flow Pennacool championship

Ari­ma Boys’ Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School has emerged as the May cham­pi­ons of the Flow and Pen­na­cool.com In­ter School Cham­pi­onship, fol­low­ing the con­clu­sion of the an­nu­al road­show tour and prize giv­ing cer­e­mo­ny.

The ini­tia­tive, de­liv­ered in part­ner­ship with Pen­na­cool.com, en­gaged stu­dents from nine pri­ma­ry schools across Trinidad dur­ing June, as or­gan­is­ers aimed to in­spire Stan­dard Four pupils as they pre­pare to en­ter Stan­dard Five.

Schools par­tic­i­pat­ing in the tour in­clud­ed Mon Re­pos R.C. Pri­ma­ry, Co­coyea Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry, San Fer­nan­do Boys Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry, San Fer­nan­do S.D.A. Pri­ma­ry, Es­he’s Learn­ing Cen­tre, and Diego Mar­tin Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School.

To en­cour­age par­tic­i­pa­tion in the month­ly com­pe­ti­tion, po­et Der­ron Sandy led in­ter­ac­tive games and learn­ing ac­tiv­i­ties, along­side give­aways for stu­dents through­out the road­show.

The tour cul­mi­nat­ed with a prize giv­ing cer­e­mo­ny on June 15, recog­nis­ing top per­form­ers from the May com­pe­ti­tion.

Ari­ma Boys’ Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School re­ceived five tablets, the cham­pi­onship tro­phy, and up­grad­ed Flow broad­band ser­vice for its per­for­mance.

The top in­di­vid­ual stu­dent, Chris­t­ian Naipaul, was award­ed a Chrome­book lap­top cour­tesy of Flow, while Valdeze Lash­ley re­ceived three months of free Flow broad­band to sup­port con­tin­ued on­line learn­ing.

Re­flect­ing on the long-stand­ing part­ner­ship be­tween Flow and Pen­na­cool.com, Vice Pres­i­dent and Gen­er­al Man­ag­er Si­mone Mar­tin-Sul­gan said the ini­tia­tive rep­re­sents a broad­er com­mit­ment to ed­u­ca­tion and op­por­tu­ni­ty.

“This is a cel­e­bra­tion of be­lief in ed­u­ca­tion, tech­nol­o­gy as an equalis­er, and the lim­it­less po­ten­tial of our na­tion’s chil­dren.”
