Twelve outstanding Grade 6 students from primary schools across the British Virgin Islands were recognised recently by Maples Group for achieving the highest English grades at their respective schools. The ceremony was held at the Maples Conference Room in Ritter House and celebrated the pupils’ academic achievement as they prepare to transition into secondary school in September.
The event brought together students, their families, teachers and representatives from the education community to mark an important milestone, Guavaberry reported. Maples representatives congratulated the pupils for their hard work, dedication and commitment to learning, and encouraged them to continue pursuing excellence as they embark on the next chapter of their education.
Christopher Newton, Managing Partner of Maples Group’s BVI office, offered praise for the students and urged them to keep striving for academic excellence. "Today we celebrate 12 exceptional students whose achievements in English reflect their hard work, perseverance and commitment to learning," Newton said, according to reporting by BVI News.
He added that Maples looks forward to seeing the students make positive contributions throughout their secondary education and beyond. Maples Group, a leading firm in the Territory’s financial services sector, said the recognition forms part of its continued commitment to supporting education and youth development across the BVI.
Organisers emphasised that strong foundations in English are key to success across subjects in secondary school and to future employment opportunities in the Territory, an aim echoed in both BVI News and Guavaberry coverage. The students honoured were: Jhernee Browne – Robinson O’Neal Primary School; Layla Zoe Saniana – Ebenezer Thomas Primary School; Josiah Soriano Beard – Jost Van Dyke Primary School; Bri’Nique Varlack – Willard Wheatley Primary School; Kyra Hendrickson – Leonora Delville Primary School; Dauria McMaster – Joyce Samuel Primary School; Marquis Chavez – Claudia Creque Educational Centre; Aiden Anthony Thompson – Alexandrina Maduro Primary School; Elizabeth L.
Callwood – Ivan Dawson Primary School; Daundre Rhodes – Bregado Flax Educational Centre; Raina Sasha Jackson – Francis Lettsome Primary School; and J’Coya Scatliffe – Enis Adams Primary School. Reporters noted that the honours also recognised the role of parents, teachers and school communities in supporting students during this key transition.
By publicly acknowledging student effort, the awards aim to motivate peers and raise the profile of school-based success across the Territory. Maples’ recognition complements ongoing government and community efforts to strengthen education in the Territory and signals continued collaboration between the private sector, families and schools to nurture the next generation of BVI leaders, campaigners and professionals, according to the combined reporting.
