Lakshmi Girls dominate CAPE

LAKSHMI Girls' Hindu School dominated this year's Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) results, winning one of the two President's Medals and taking the majority of the 400 scholarships awarded.
Education Minister Anthony Garcia announced the results at a news conference at the ministry in Port of Spain on Monday.
Celine Roodal won the President's Medal as the top performing student in environmental studies, information and communication technology, mathematics and natural science.
The St Augustine school also received 40 out of the 400 scholarships, 15 open and 45 additional. Naparima Girls High School student Sharvaani Rampersad-Maharaj won the second President's Medal as the top performing student in business studies, creative and performing studies, general studies, language studies, humanities and technical studies.
Garcia said this was either the fourth or fifth year in a row that a Lakshmi Girls' student had won the President's Medal. He also noted the large number of students from the school who received scholarships.
"We congratulate the students. They continue to work very hard," Garcia said.
Garcia also said the overall performance of denominational schools was good and there was an improvement this year in the number of students from government secondary schools who received scholarships.
This year, 285 girls and 115 boys were given scholarships.
Garcia said the ministry did its best to ensure CAPE results were received on time. He said there would be follow-up discussions with the Caribbean Examinations Council about the timely receipt of CAPE results.
Sat had faith in Celine

Late secretary general of the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha, Satnaryan Maharaj, predicted that one of the top students would bring glory to the Lakshmi Girls’ Hindu College as a winner of the 2019 President’s medal.
This came through on Monday with the announcement that Celine Roodal of Kelly Village made it five in a row for the college. According to Maharaj's son, Vijay, Maharaj met Roodal at the school’s graduation ceremony on November 7, the same day he suffered a stroke and had to be warded at the Medical Associates Hospital in St Joseph.
Recalling the moments of that meeting, Vijay told Newsday on Monday, “He (Sat) met the young lady at the graduation of Lakshmi Girls' two Thursdays ago (November 7), and he said to everyone that he believed that the young lady would win.
"He hugged her as his own daughter and so forth, not only because he thought she was going to win the President’s Medal, but because of what she had succeeded in, in the past, going to the Maths Olympiad and representing TT."
Roodal and a contingent of TT students travelled to Bath, London from July 11 to 22 to take part in the 60th anniversary of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The IMO is one of the most prestigious Olympiads worldwide and is an annual competition which started in 1959. Today, over 100 countries participate by sending its best six mathematical minds, chosen after a series of rigorous testing and elimination rounds.
Vijay said, "We had talked about her many times because of her mathematics stature. She was phenomal in mathematics, add maths and physics."
Asked about Maharaj's prediction that she would win, Roodal told Newsday on Monday, "It is very inspiring to know that a person of his calibre had faith in me, and I am glad that I lived up to his hopes. I am very honoured to continue his legacy. He has done a lot and I feel proud to continue it."
Maharaj was generally confident in the school's ability to produce a fifth consecutive winner Vijay said. "He mentioned it in one of his speeches, many weeks ago, that Lakshmi girls was going to win a fifth."
President's Medal winners for the school over the years were Amrita Singh (2018), Veshala Goon (2017), Priya Maraj (2016) and Shivrani Prabhudial (2015).
Vijay said the President's Medal win continues his father's legacy and that Maharaj would have been proud. "We are very elated, Vijay said, “He looked out for her winning the President's medal, he looked forward to it.”
Following the announcement of her achievement, Roodal said, "I am very estatic about my win but also a little shocked."
She added, "I was working towards it but I wasn't sure if I can actually achieve it."
For now, Roodal said she will be taking a "gap year" and hopes to pursue studies in engineering at a Canadian university next year.
Her advice to fellow students, "A president's medal is very much attainable once you work hard and manage time."
Asked what her plans were to celebrate the win Roodal said, "I'm not entirely sure but my family may be going out for dinner."
Roodal's win came a day before Tuesday’s funeral for the late Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha secretary general .
While the Maha Sabha prepares for Maharaj's funeral to be held on Tuesday, Vijay said the organisation would release a statement on the President's Medal win for the Lakshmi Hindu College on Wednesday.

Taxpayers can't keep fitting this bill indefinitely. UTT letting go staff due to lack of funding but 140 million tt leaving oir shores to pay the salaries of foreign professors and staff.
