She said will always play a part, once the opportunity provides itself. She noted, “I love this school very vey very much and I would always lend a helping hand once I am permitted to”. She also noted that the stand will be there for the remainder of the week, but she was unsure which days she would be there in person.
Principal of the school, Mrs. Janice Richards noted that the event was discussed very early in planning of the celebrations. She pointed out, that the Open Day was to give the community and the island at large a chance to sample some quality pastries and local drinks.

She noted that a Cocktail will be held at Occasions on Thursday, September 17, commencing at 7:00 p.m. and the Independence Patriotic Program will be on Friday, September 18, 2015. In conclusion the principal urged everyone to support the school.
