Aug 06, 2013 Sports

 

The Sixth Annual Republic Bank Summer Camp hosted by the Cricket team of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club for Grade Six students and concluded on Friday last, has been deemed a success.
With the main aim of preparing Grade Six students for a successful transition to Secondary School, this year’s activity which lasted four-weeks was described by the Coordinator, Rohan Etwaru, as rewarding.
Etwaru, a Senior Teacher at the Port Mourant Secondary School informed that the 60 students which attended were lectured to on the following subject areas, Mathematics, English A, English B, Integrated Science, Social Studies and Spanish.
The students were also exposed to basic coaching on how to play cricket and were involved in playing several sports in an effort to promote sports as an alternative to a life on the road. Several classroom lectures were also done on topics of importance which included HIV/Aids, Drugs Abuse, Peer Pressure, Public Speaking, the Importance of Education and Belief in God.
Etwaru disclosed that all of the students showed improvement in their class work and expressed confidence that they were all fully prepared for their entrance into Secondary School when school re-opens in September.
Club President Keith Foster urged the attentive students to remain committed in the classroom and to make the pursuit of education the main agenda in their lives. He said he strongly believes in educating the minds of youths as it is the foundation of a successful career, while urging all clubs in Guyana to invest in education and sports.
Foster hailed the support of Republic Bank for the Summer Camp over the last six years and said that in 2014, the Camp would be expanded to accommodate more students. He also urged the parents of the students to play an active role in their lives as they need positive  role models to pattern themselves after.
Representative of Republic Bank Rose Hall Branch, Mr. Leon Mc Donald, complimented the Club for hosting another successful Camp and noted that Republic Bank would continue to invest in education and youths.
Mc Donald urged the students to remain focused as Secondary School is more demanding than Primary School.
Tejesh Goberdhan was named top student of the Camp, while the other awards went to the Most Discipline student (Jalisa Samaroo), Most Improved student (Sarah Sewchand) and the Best Attendee who was Kila Campbell.
The top students each received special prizes while every student received a school bag. The Camp was organised by the Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Female and Gizmos and Gadgets First Division and Under-21 Cricket Teams.
