New­town Boys RC Pri­ma­ry School has re­ceived five An­droid tablets, three months of up­grad­ed broad­band in­ter­net and a tro­phy, af­ter emerg­ing as the June 2026 cham­pi­on of the Flow-spon­sored Pen­na­cool.com In­ter-School Cham­pi­onship.

The school was recog­nised at a prize-giv­ing cer­e­mo­ny in Sep­tem­ber as part of the ini­tia­tive, which en­cour­ages pri­ma­ry school stu­dents across Trinidad and To­ba­go to strength­en their Math­e­mat­ics and Lan­guage Arts skills through on­line learn­ing.

Stan­dard Five stu­dent Nathaniel Guer­ra, the com­pe­ti­tion’s top scor­er, re­ceived a Chrome­book lap­top, while fel­low stu­dent Nathan Tay­lor was award­ed three months of free Flow broad­band in­ter­net.

The school’s teacher was al­so recog­nised with a cel­e­bra­to­ry din­ner, cour­tesy of Pen­na­cool.com, in ap­pre­ci­a­tion of the role ed­u­ca­tors play in sup­port­ing stu­dent achieve­ment.

The cham­pi­onship us­es cur­ricu­lum-aligned ex­er­cis­es to help stu­dents pre­pare for the Sec­ondary School En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA). Stu­dents earn points for cor­rect an­swers, con­tribut­ing to their school’s over­all score, with the school record­ing the high­est col­lec­tive score at the end of each month de­clared cham­pi­on.

Flow Trinidad Se­nior Man­ag­er of Mar­ket­ing Paula Daniel-Lin­ton said the part­ner­ship with Pen­na­cool.com was help­ing chil­dren build con­fi­dence, strength­en their skills and make learn­ing more en­gag­ing.

“At Flow, we be­lieve that every child de­serves the op­por­tu­ni­ty to reach their full po­ten­tial, and ac­cess to the right tools can make a mean­ing­ful dif­fer­ence in that jour­ney,” Daniel-Lin­ton said.

She said the ini­tia­tive al­so sup­port­ed teach­ers and schools in prepar­ing stu­dents for suc­cess.

Be­yond the dig­i­tal learn­ing plat­form, Flow and Pen­na­cool.com do­nat­ed 400 SEA prac­tice test books to pri­ma­ry schools across Trinidad dur­ing Oc­to­ber.

Among the re­cip­i­ents were Gas­par­il­lo Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School, Mara­bel­la Boys An­gli­can Pri­ma­ry School and Cof­fee Boys An­gli­can Pri­ma­ry School.

Flow said it re­mained com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties that ben­e­fit stu­dents, teach­ers and schools through­out Trinidad and To­ba­go.
