One hundred and seventeen (117) students graduated from the Carnegie School of Home Economics after completing courses in Household Management, Cosmetology, Catering and Hospitality, Visual Arts and Craft and Garment construction.
The graduates were issued certificates, trophies and in some cases medals for their outstanding achievements in each of the areas.
The Best Graduating Student award went to Nalini Seeratan, while Samantha Mosley was voted Valedictorian of the graduating class.
Of the 117 graduates; 36 were from the Household Management Course, 15 from the Cosmetology Course, 25 from the Visual Arts Course, 28 from the Hospitality and Catering programme and 10 from the Garment Construction programme.
However, before the end of the first year there were approximately 22 students that had dropped out of their respective programmes.
As part of the courses, some programmes such as the cosmetology course, made provisions for up to three months work experience.
In her charge to the students, Member of the Board of Governors, Patricia David, congratulated the graduates for their achievements, and encouraged them to use the knowledge gained to better themselves, and be successful in all of their endeavours.
David also praised the leadership of the school for keeping the standard of excellence within the institution and for equipping the graduates with the information they need to enhance their lives.
She also advised the graduates to take careful note of the “wise and correct choice of use, care and storage of the equipment,” that they may have to use.
As David continued her speech she persuaded them to produce work of a high standard, and take full responsibility for any decisions made.
David told them that now that their literacy levels have been completed, they should “have good morals, keep up-to-date with modern technology, and above all be good to yourselves.”
