EACH year, Bay Gardens Resorts invites the primary school children of its staff to apply for an exclusive scholarship awarded by the hotel chain. The top Common Entrance Exam scorer, based on all applications, is then rewarded at an intimate presentation ceremony hosted by Bay Gardensā Executive Director, SanovnikDestang and General Managers, Mrs BerthiaParle, (Bay Gardens Beach Resort and Spa) and Ms Waltrude Patrick (Bay Gardens Hotel and Inn)
Last Wednesday, Bay Gardens Resorts happily awarded Ashlyn Theodore, daughter of Reservations Manager Ms.Anice OāNeil, and Gabriellea James, daughter of Krishnal James, Front Desk Receptionist, with the 2015 scholarships. Ashlyn scored a resounding 92% placing 30th on the island.
āIām delighted that we are able to reward some of St. Luciaās youth for their hard work and dedication to success. Both Ashlyn and Gabriellea have shown true commitment to their future and so we are happy to help support their continued accomplishments,ā said Mr. Destang.
Among the ceremony guests was also Bay Gardensā former scholarship winner Gibea Edward, who proudly maintained a 70% and above average in order to retain her scholarship. The parents of the scholarship recipients also attended the ceremony in support of their children.
āGibea Edward has truly made her teachers from The St. Josephās Convent, her extended family and most of all, me, ecstatic on her performance. We are extremely proud of her success and hope she continues to excel,ā said Ms. Joseph, Gibeaās mother, āand to my Bay Gardens family I say thank you for the assistance, it is greatly appreciated.ā
Ashlyn is now attending The St. Josephās Convent Secondary School while Gabriellea James is at Leon Hess Secondary School. The staff and management team of Bay Gardens Resorts would like to wish them good luck on their continued success.
I am not sure how a one time bursary of ECD $500 is a scholarship. think this particular corporate entity should clarify this story.
