Stu­dents of the Cou­va East Sec­ondary School were tri­umphant when they com­pet­ed against 34 oth­er schools from across the coun­try in the 3rd Sec­ondary Schools’ Busi­ness Sim­u­la­tion Com­pe­ti­tion. 

The award cer­e­mo­ny took place at the UWI Arthur Lok Jack School of Busi­ness in Mount Hope yes­ter­day morn­ing, where many prizes were giv­en out to the top-per­form­ing schools. This year, UWI Arthur Lok Jack award­ed the top three teams par­tial schol­ar­ships for the Bach­e­lor of In­ter­na­tion­al Busi­ness pro­gramme. 

The com­pe­ti­tion, which is of­fi­cial­ly en­dorsed by the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion, was de­signed for stu­dents in Forms Five and Six, pro­vid­ing them with a prac­ti­cal ap­proach that en­hances their class­room learn­ing. 

Each school en­tered a team of mixed Form Five and Six stu­dents and a teacher, nav­i­gat­ing eight rounds of in­ten­sive re­al-world busi­ness sim­u­la­tions split up in­to two stages. This ex­pe­ri­ence gave stu­dents the chance to ap­ply knowl­edge from their busi­ness cours­es to solve re­al­is­tic chal­lenges, prac­tis­ing both crit­i­cal think­ing and team­work. The win­ning team from Cou­va East Sec­ondary com­prised teacher Lisa Na­gas­sar and stu­dents Skye Craig, An­dré Ali Bou­cas, Alexan­dra Ho­sein, San­d­ri­na Deo and Jaron Metivi­er.

Fa­ti­ma Col­lege placed third with their team con­sist­ing of teacher Niko­las Re­ece and stu­dents Ja­fari De­nal­li, Ster­lin Rus­sell, Jorlen Romero, Adyn Sang­ster and Matthew Ren­wick. In sec­ond place was Na­pari­ma Col­lege, with teacher An­naleah Dood­nath and stu­dents Nar­in Ram­dath, Math­ieu Be­har­ry, Josi­ah Ra­jack, Yuri Mo­hammed and Kaelon Win­ches­ter.
