Photos: Future Leaders Awards Ceremony

The ninth annual Future Leaders Awards Ceremony was held last night [May 28] at the East End Primary School auditorium, with parents, friends, school staff, and supporters attending the ceremony, which saw exceptional students honoured for their achievements.

Awardees included Jailyn Boddington and Naji Bean from East End Primary School, Maximilian Santiago and Saneyah Richardson from St. George’s Preparatory School, Ruth Mello and Zyon Minors from St. David’s Primary School and, Amara Bartram and Kyesja Jones from Clearwater Middle School.

In attendance were St George’s Mayor Quinell Francis, MP Lovitta Foggo, Senator Diallo Rabain, Senator Renee Ming, Dame Jennifer Smith, Mrs. Beckles of East End Primary, and Mrs. Lodge of St. George’s Preparatory.

Dame Jennifer Smith hosted the event from 2007 until 2012; Senator Ming now serves as host. For the past nine years, the Principals of the ‘eastern’ area schools have been asked to submit the names of two students who exemplify the qualities of a good leader.

The awards are presented to students who are of graduating age from their respective schools.

The criteria for selection are the attributes which show consistent academic achievement, promise, vision, good character, respect for oneself and others. Each of the Principals submits a biography of their selections, which is read out during the award ceremony.

The event began with a welcome from Raoul Ming, with Sherri Simmons serving as Mistress of Ceremonies. An opening prayer was offered by Pastor Lorne Bean, with a musical selection provided by Rickeesha Binns.

A Presentation of Speaker Senator Renee Ming was followed by a speech from Gayneté Edwards and comments and remarks from Dame Jennifer Smith, before a vote of thanks from Senator Ming.
