Cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) on Tuesday last recognised outstanding Head Teachers drawn from schools in the Lower Corentyne area as part of the club’s World Teachers’ Day programme.
Since 2008, the teams have been honouring Head Teachers under the Ansa McAl Tribute to Teachers initiative in recognition of their contributions to the Education sector and for the roles they have played in shaping the character of RHTY&SC members.
Club Secretary/CEO, Hilbert Foster saluted the Head Teachers for their contributions while praising them for their discipline, commitment and hard work. He noted that running the club has been made easier because of the work the teachers, who during the course of their duties have molded the cricketers into level headed individuals.
Foster urged the educators to uphold the high standards they have set themselves and to work harder to develop the educational sector, noting that education is important in the career of a sportsman.
It was disclosed that the RHTY&SC would continue to invest heavily in the education sector and in the development of every member, while it would also be increasing its assistance to schools in 2016 with the main aim of making sure that every child fulfills their educational potential.
The Head Teachers honoured are Minerva Rodney (Rose Hall Town Nursery), Tayola Them (Port Mournant Nursery), Shaundelle Bourne (J.C.Chandisingh Secondary), Sharon Durant (Tain Primary), Somwaru Hussain (Corentyne Comprehensive Secondary), Hirallal Goberdhan, Ray Jonas (Courtland/Gibraltar Primary) and Paul La Cruz (Lower Corentyne Secondary).
La Cruz, speaking on behalf of the honorees expressed gratitude to the club and cricket teams for recognising the contribution of the hardworking Head Teachers. He reassured the gathering that they would remain committed and be positive role models to every one of their students.
The teams making the event a success are the Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Metro Females and Gizmos and Gadgets Under-21 and First Division.
