Seventh Republic Bank Summer camp for Grade 6 students unveiled
The seventh edition of the annual Republic Bank Summer Camp for Grade six students organised by the cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) has been recently unveiled.

Its main aims are to properly prepare Grade 6 students to successfully make the transition from primary to secondary school; to instill in them the importance of discipline and education and to expose them to basic coaching in the sports of cricket, volleyball and basketball.
Sixty (60) students would be catered for and will be drawn from across the Lower Corentyne area. Subjects including Maths, English, Spanish, Integrated Science and History would be taught while the students would also benefit from lectures on other topics of importance.
These would include drug abuse, peer pressure, the importance of discipline, HIV/Aids, importance of religion, personal hygiene and public manners. Foster stated that his club was determined that the students understand the importance of sports as an alternative to a life on the road and as such they would be exposed to basic coaching in several disciplines especially cricket, volleyball and basketball.
The veteran club official expressed confidence that the camp would be another successful one and praised the cricket teams for working hard to not only maintain the sponsorship from Republic Bank but also for achieving all the objectives of the camp over the years.
The Club’s Office Manager and Cricket Coordinator Moonish Singh expressed gratitude to Republic Bank for its continued support of the camp and pledged that they would always uphold its tradition of striving for excellence.
The camp is being organised by the Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Gizmos and Gadgets Under-21 and First Division and the Metro Female cricket teams.
Interested parents are asked to register their children at the club office Area ‘H’ ground or call 337 4562 or 612 5308 for more information.
