Achievements

On Friday, 1st December 2023, the school’s Parang Group proudly performed at “Parang on the Pavers”, hosted at the Ministry of Education Towers. Their spirited performance showcased our students’ talent and cultural pride, continuing our tradition of excellence in the performing arts.

We proudly congratulate Reya Jagroop, winner of the Family Tree (Standard 3) category in the Season of Creation Challenge for primary schools across Trinidad and Tobago.

This regional competition, held under the theme "A Home for All: Renewing the Oikos of God", took place from May 24 to September 23, 2021, and focused on environmental stewardship and faith-based responsibility.

Reya’s outstanding work reflects her creativity, deep understanding of the theme, and commitment to caring for God's creation. We celebrate her achievement as a shining example of the values we nurture at Tunapuna Girls’ R.C. School.

We are delighted to celebrate Alexia-Marie-Tash for her outstanding achievements through the Penacool platform!

She was awarded the following distinctions:

• Certificate of Diligence from Sunshine Cereals Sunny Students
