The 2024 Physical Education (PE) class from Rosignol Secondary was hard at work yesterday at the Nexgen Golf Academy, Woolford Avenue, with teacher Kevon Jawahir, Master Coach Aleem Hussain, and Senior Coach Vishal Dhanai in an effort to maintain their dominant performance in the CSEC elective.
The school has increased the size of their PE class by more than 100% over the past two years since the discipline was introduced to the institution, and Head Mistress Donnette D’Andrade expressed her satisfaction at the progress made by her school.
Said Jawahir, “Rosignol has and will continue to lead in programmes put forth by the Ministry of Education, as shown by the recent inclusion of sport under the Unit of Allied Arts Priority Programme. We intend to remain at the top of the region and country!” Last year, Rosignol Secondary achieved a 100% pass rate at PE, with 93% receiving Grade I; all elected to do golf as their practical examination. “We are extremely proud of the students at RSS; they were among the pioneers in this programme and continue to show great interest and results,” said Jawahir.
With the recent push by the Ministry of Education Priority Programme to ensure that all learners are exposed to the five priority areas, which include sports, Nexgen Golf Academy has stepped up to provide a golf coaching programme in Regions 2, 3, 4, 5, and Georgetown. The intended outcome is to have golf available in every region and school that would like to offer the sport to learners.
