DESPITE the challenges encountered during the last school year, the St Joseph’s Convent Kingstown was able to achieve an overall pass rate of 88 per cent in the 2022 May/June sitting of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC).

“It was indeed a challenge for these students, particularly after losing some of their teachers at such a delicate stage of their studies. Nonetheless, they paddled the rough waters with success,” a release from the school said.

The all-girl school, which ranked third in St Vincent and the Grenadines based on the CSEC results said their highest performers were Kristy DaSilva who obtained 11 passes – 6 grade ones and 5 grade twos; Kay-Anna John who obtained 10 passes – 5 grade ones, 4 grade twos and 1 grade three; and Angelique Tucker who obtained 11 passes – 1 grade one, 8 grade twos and 2 grade threes.

Other top performers were: Azaria Ralph, T’Kiya Williams, Rianka Chance, Daniela Duncan, Anaya Llewellyn, Kiana Quashie and Brianna Arthur.
