Each of the students was presented with a trophy, medal and a collection of educational material including a school bag and exercise books.
Foster urged the teachers and students to not only maintain their standard but to aim for more excellence. Teachers, he stated was the second best role model to children after their parents and as such it was important for them to set a positive example for the students to follow.
Students were reminded that an educated mind is the most powerful thing a human can have as an asset and as such they should work hard to achieve one. They were also urged to develop a culture of respect, honesty and hard work while rejecting satan and his evil world of drugs, crime, suicide, alcohol and tobacco.
Foster expressed gratitude to Scotiabank for their continued sponsorship of the club and made special mention of Marketing Executive Jennifer Cipriani who was described as a true friend of the entity.
