A batch of new students will join the now year two student, who attained 87 per cent passes at the first sitting of the CAPE Unit One exam in June. Passes ranged from grade 3 to 5.

The theory component of the programme will be delivered by Roxell John, the CAPE lecturer and sports coordinator at the college, while Wallace Christopher, Wesley Charles, Theophilus Kebakjah King, Cleton Burnett and Naiasha Alexander will complete the practical component in track and field, football, tennis, cricket and swimming.

The college’s 2015-2016 sports programme will kick off on September 29, with Inter Faculty Football competitions at the Division of Art, Sciences and General Studies, as well as at the Division of Technical and Vocational Education. The two inter-faculty competitions will run simultaneously.

Attention will then turn to Inter Divisional competitions. The SVGCC Inter Divisional Football Competition will begin on October 20, to be followed by the SVGCC Inter Divisional Netball Competition from November 20.

In the second semester, Inter Divisional competitions in basketball, volleyball, road relay and track and field will be staged.

The SVGCC will also move to enter representative teams in the national cricket, netball and volleyball competitions; a representative team will participate in the 2016 Sir Garfield Sobers International Schools Cricket Tournament in Barbados, in July 2016.

Discussions are also underway with a view to the college participating in the Penn Relays, as well as the Sir Arthur Lewis College games.
