– students honoured for NGSA performance
Reid Perria of the Mahdia Primary School and Obinna Leitch of the School of Excellence were awarded the top spots in the junior and senior categories, respectively, when the Community Relations Department of Police Division No. 8 hosted its Annual Spelling Bee Competition on Friday.
The competition brought together students from several primary and secondary schools, aiming to foster a spirit of academic excellence, confidence, and friendly competition.
The judging panel featured Head Teacher Tiffani Hinds from Mahdia Primary School; a teacher from Princeville Primary School, Avon Fredrick; Head Teacher Jillian Williams from Campbelltown Primary School; and Martine Benjamin from School of Excellence Secondary.
All participants demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm, discipline, and determination throughout the competition, but in the end, Perria and Leitch were the successful spellers.
Certificates and tokens of appreciation were presented to all contestants in recognition of their efforts and achievements.
In addition, special recognition awards were given to Ronaldo Ramsay and Priscilla Priya Henry, both members of the Micobie and Mahdia Youth Groups, for their outstanding performances at the 2025 National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA).
The awards were presented by Woman Police Sergeant Daniels of the Community Relations Department.
Assistant Superintendent of Police N Noel commended the participants, organisers, and judges for their efforts in making the event a success, and he encouraged the students to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to their education as they strive to become productive citizens of Guyana.
