Entrepot yields Top cadet Recruit

The students and teachers of the Entrepot Secondary commenced the celebrations in recognition of the school’s 36th Anniversary last Friday, with an ecumenical church service. Pastor of the Streams of Power Tabernacle, Timothy Robinson addressed them at the Church of the Sacred Heart at Marchand, Castries.
Using Joshua and Caleb in Bible times as illustrations Robinson instructed the students on the significance of obedience.
The students and teachers sang passionately, “Carry your candle and “I know nothing of tomorrow.”
“I liked what the preacher said,” one excited youngster remarked. It was good that he told us about obedience, for sometimes we lapse in that area and we end up doing all the wrong things both at school and at home. I felt blessed by that sermon this morning.”
“Today is a bit different and it feels good to have started the day at church,” another student joined in.”
The celebrations included sporting activities and a Nobel Laureate Exhibition on the school premises.
In the forefront of the activities, were the promotions of students of the Cadet Corps.

Teacher, Kieran James was proud to announce “In December, the Entrepot school topped the Annual Cadet Recruit Camp.”
One student, a member of the Cadet Corps explained that the organization provides a program which is challenging, exciting and rewarding. It encourages cadets to test their physical, mental and emotional limits while ensuring a realistic, safe and wholesome training environment.”
“Young people are given the opportunity to learn leadership, self-confidence and nationalism. Being a Cadet helps prepare us to be tomorrow’s leaders,” another excited cadet said.
For his part, coming out on the top of his game during the December recruit camp, was most appreciated by Troy Helidore “I feel proud to be the Most Outstanding Cadet,” Heliodore said smiling shyly.
The slender twelve –year-old student of Form IR4 and who says that he wants to be a police officer when he grows up, has been a cadet for a mere five months.
“The recruit camp program was a bit tough, but I succeeded,” he said. “I will stay in the program because I believe it will help me develop my career.”
He said that he was especially happy to be a cadet because it helped him physically and in the area of discipline. “I used to be very troublesome before I joined the cadets, but now I have changed a lot. I behave differently now.”
