Ramoutar was pleased with his performance, noting that his hard work has paid off. “Thanks to my mother and my extended family and to all my teachers at School of Nations. Don’t underestimate the standard of work that is expected. But then you will be rewarded for the efforts you put in.”
Logan expressed similar sentiments, and advised students “not to let negative associations hamper your true potential. What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”.
“I have always had high expectations for myself… any failures along the way have only made me stronger. My parents have been the driving force behind my success… School of the Nations made learning fun… the staff have always helped me in very important ways… I hope I never let them down in the future,” Ramkishun said.
Grateful
Haniff was also thankful to her parents, teachers and friends. “When you study hard and then see the fruits of your labour, it is so rewarding. Now I am looking forward to year two of sixth form. My goal is to get into the field of accounts and finance.”
“I want to thank my parents, my wider family and my teachers who motivated me. Especially, I want to thank Dr and Mrs O’Toole for all their support over the years not only in the area of academics, but also in terms of life lessons. I also want to thank Mrs Brisport as I have been at Nations my entire school life. In particular, I want to thank Jesus, without His support, I would not have been able to achieve anything,” Akbar said.
