Eleven talented students of the C.A.R.E Learning Centre have successfully graduated.

The annual graduation and prize giving took place in St. Paul A.M.E Church, in Court Street. Guest speaker Senator Davida Morris, Junior Minister of Social Rehabilitation and Community and Cultural Affairs, gave the students her three Ps of success.

"I want to share with you some of the things that have helped me achieve my goals. I hope they will help you do the same. They are my three Ps for a highly productive life. These are principles that have aided me in getting to the point where I am now and they are the same principles that I know will lead me to continued success.

"My three P's are planning, perseverance and prioritising."
