Meantime, Director of Student Services, Edgar Hunter called the show one of the best of its kind, and promised bigger things in the future.
“This one was the best we ever had…every year it’s getting bigger and bigger, and the public is getting more and more interested… In terms of production, our production was rated higher than Queen Show, by public opinion…” he stated.
He hinted at a larger scale of competition, at a regional level for the winner of DSC Mas Jamboree.
“We are looking at hosting a regional college competition in Dominica, which will be managed and done by the State College,” Hunter said. “So far, we have already started doing the groundwork… The winner of Mas Jamboree would become Dominica’s representative at such a pageant.”
Just wondering, I thought the young lady is an adult??? Let us not be paranoid. And I know her she is a very respectful young lady. Let’s not create situations that are not there.
Ms. Tarvernier, congratulation and good luck in your studies.
It is just pathetic that young educated women have to parade in front
of a bunch of pedophiles under the disguise of scholarship.
Do not go to Secretbay without your parents☺️
Why should those young educated women have to parade in a pageant to
receive a dcolarship?
How about a scholastic debate or a sports challenge.
Please Ms. Tarvernier be careful.
As for night for two at Secretbay, I smell a rat.
If you cannot enjoy those nights with parents or trusted family member
respectfully return the gift.
The pedophiles have a plan.
They had you all parade in swim wear to assess the assets, Do not fall in the
trap, it is a Webb of deceit.
It is a shame that the record held by some management personnel at D.SC. that they continue to be allowed around minors.
Shame on Dominica for not protecting their children.
I am armed for the rebuttal.
Merina stop that smell a rat nonsense. Miss Tavernier is 18 years she is not a child. Stop trying to put politics in everything
Dominica need to do away with these over sized paytan crowns. Oh lord that looks so cheap.
Excellent job DSC. You guys put on a remarkable pageant and looking online, I think that the Miss Dominica Pageant Organisers need a little assistance from you. Not only with the organisation of your pageant put also with the way you award your prizes. I am still wondering what the queen contestants received for their awards. Hats Off to you all and congratulations to the DSC and all the ladies, this is an exceptional pageant.
“A night for 2 at the Secret Bay hotel”….. I guess her mom or dad will accompany her.
all u too hypocrite
She better, if not there will be an attempt of another ‘hush money’.
Pedophiles on the loose in Dominica without recourse ?
