Christmas Horse Racing
Sunday 25 December 2005
The Christmas Day race meeting at Coronation Park was an interesting event with several new horses appearing and crowd favourites returning. Razor was one new horse who did extremely well, coming second to Diamond Tip who, after a year's layoff, came back to win the 4-furlong race. Razor is a half-breed, 2-year-old colt owned by James Joseph and trained by Alan Cephas. We list the results below.

HTS Graduation
Thursday 8 December 2005
The graduation of the class of 2005 was an historical occasion, being the last secondary graduation from the Holy Trinity School. The 2005 graduates included Amelia Beazer, Dennica Beazer, Lenesha Desouza, Farrah Harris, Stephanie Harris, Kazim Thomas, Hudson Walbrook, and Naketa Walker. Kereanna Baltimore, studying in Cuba, and Shawn-Marie David were unable to attend. Amelia, Kazim, Hudson, and Naketa are studying at State College in Antigua.
Several members of the first graduating class, that of 1990, participated in the ceremony with Miss Lenore Henry the principal of Holy Trinity at the time. The Class of 1990, shown in the photo above right taken outside the Pentecostal Church, was Leslie Hamlet, Sean Charles, George Thomas, Afton Brown, Wade Thomas, Amanda Nedd, Nadine Nedd Teague, Maxine Burton Walker, and Marcey Brown. Nadine gave the charge to the graduates of 2005.
Best wishes and a happy New Year to all graduates of the Holy Trinity School.

Apologies from the webmaster
Sunday 20 November 2005
I must apologise to all visitors for the lack of updates over the last few months. I have been extremely busy as a teacher at the new Sir McChesney George Secondary School. I plan to put up lots of news and a new profile during the coming school vacation, which begins on 12 December 2005. Please keep visiting the site in the meantime...
The photo to the right shows the main hall at the Sir McChesney George Secondary School. The students were waiting for the Independence Programme to begin on the morning of Thursday 27 October 2005.
Best wishes to everyone. Keep sending the emails - I shall reply.
