Twelve officially left the Dominica Community High School (DCHS) yesterday, after years of study at the institution.
“My Attitude determines my altitude” is the theme which guided the school-leaving ceremony held at the DCHS for ten males and two females.
The students did not leave the ceremony without being given prizes and awards. Nickel Cuffy got the prize for steady application and awards for Caribbean History, English Language, French, and Social Studies. Jonel George obtained the prize for Tenacity and awards for Agricultural Science and Integrated Science. Damian Fontaine obtained the Excellence in Agricultural Science award, and prizes for Geography, Integrated Science, and Mathematics. Elmac Gachette got prizes for French and Social Studies and awards for Geography and Speech and Drama. Conrad Phillip got prizes for English Language and Principles of Business and the Mathematics award. Clifford Morancie obtained the prize for Caribbean History and award for Principles of Business. Garin Charles got the prize for Human and Social Biology.
Delivering the feature address, Sherma Desire’, a past student of the D.C.H.S called on the school-leavers to think about their attitudes as it can determine their standing in life. She told them it can have a direct effect of their career and health.
“Many of us suffer from having a negative attitude. We do not appreciate the damage it is doing to us. Without realizing it, we are leading ourselves down the dark alley of life,” she said
She continued, “Attitude is far more than smiling and having a happy demeanour. It is deep-sitted belief that forms a way of thinking. If you like, it is something we are programmed to do. It is a belief in ourselves.”
Minister for Youth, Sports and Culture Justina Charles represented Minister for Education Petter Saint Jean at the school-leaving ceremony.
