The 15 students applied to be members and were interviewed by the five co-advisors for the programme.

Mrs. Kalmar Richards, principal of CedarBridge Academy spoke with the students about their role in today’s competitive society. Reminding them that they are no longer only competing against other Bermudians, but against young people around the world, and it is their role and responsibility to themselves and their country to be the best they can be and work toward high standards, because Bermuda is now part of a global community.
