A group from the Portsmouth Secondary School is presently in Mexico competing for the International Junior Achievers (JA) Business of the Year Award.
Junior Achievers from 32 countries will vie to capture the award.
At the competition, the school is going to showcase four products from its ‘Nature’s Essentials’ line namely balms, body splash, body moisturizer, and a warm body cloth (massage cloth).
See photos below of the team’s first day at the competition.
Congratulations to the Junior Achievers on placing 4th at the COY competition. Competing against 31 other countries, a 4th place result is great accomplishment. Have a safe flight home today. Thanks for making Dominica proud.
Am so proud of my baby girl, shervaughn Joseph, and the rest of the team,Janile, kardim, andel, and mrs Mathew You all have worked tirelessly preparing the products etc, I would know. Mrs Mathew hats off to you. You guys can actually bring this home.
Good vibes keep it up
That’s amazing. Young people are reaching far, while society tends to think that the positive mindset is slowly deteriorating, you all are making it known that this is not so true. That mindset is gradually improving. GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS, win or lose.
One point though, I admire your determination young boys, but your chaperone/professor should also ensure that your business attire is well properly put and not in the manner you currently look. Just a flaw, because in presentations, judges do look at EVERYTHING! Next time make sure that everything like that is on your list.
Again, SPLENDID JOB AND I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HIGHLY CONSIDERED FOR THE AWARD!
Congrats! Hey DNO, we still waiting for an explanation why the young man who they say is a science student, not there. D boy that make them win. I hear some things, we need clarification.
To the individual who is asking for the Science student: You should get your facts straight. There were other components to the competition. PSS did not win based on how well the business plan was presented. The presenter was not the one who should get/take credit for the business plan. Everything was done through teamwork. Kudos to the dedicated members who worked on production, the annual report, the business plan and other aspects of the business. The selected group is quite capable. Hats off to them.
I never said that it was because of him, I only inquired why. I’m from Portsmouth too and teacher told me what she knows from the staff room.
Proud Citizen if you want to know about the young man why don’t you just ask “they say”.
But But But Proud citizen… you seem to have news from the inside. So… continue on that same path and get answers to your questions. Congrats PSS, keep on doing your ting.
yeah ! yeah ! we rock! GOD’S blessings. I am so proud of u guys. Mrs Mathew thumbs up! Mrs H way to go! Jeanil- I love that smile. Represent for P.S.S

Mucho thanks to the sponsors and those who saw potential for their products. Kudos also to their business teacher(s) Ms Roselyn George I think.
I am so proud of these students and my school. Congrats PSS.
This could develop into a new business for Dominica, I hope they take it to the next level and create a viable company. No more we have to import crèmes and lip balm into Dominica, we can export them too.
That’s the way forward be positive
Forward on PSS!!!!!!
Kudos to PSS Junior Achievers. Hope this sends out a loud message to other youths and adults alike that what will move Dominica is hard work and creativity, not talk and idleness!!!
Congratualtions young persons and to PSS. That’s the way to go as the sky is the limit.
