🎓 CHOISEUL ON THE MOVE

District 7 Stands Proud As Our Grade 6 Students Take On CPEA 2026!

Today and tomorrow, the classrooms may be quieter than usual, but across Choiseul–Saltibus and the wider island of Saint Lucia, hearts are beating with pride, hope, nervous excitement, and determination as Grade 6 students sit the Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA).

For many of these young students, this is more than just an exam. It is the culmination of years of sacrifice, long nights of studying, extra lessons, encouragement from parents, and the tireless dedication of teachers who refused to give up on them even when the road became difficult.

Today, Choiseul on the Move pauses to salute the incredible principals, teachers, learning support assistants, school cooks, janitors, bus drivers, parents, guardians, and education officials who helped prepare these students for this important milestone.

From Roblot Government School to Saltibus Combined… from Piaye Combined to Reunion Primary… from Mongouge to Delcer, Dugard, Riviere Doree, Choiseul, and every school throughout District 7 — your work matters.

Too often, we celebrate only the final results and forget the people who stayed behind after school to conduct extra classes… the teachers who bought supplies from their own pockets… the principals who carried pressure quietly… and the parents who prayed every morning before sending their children off to class.

District 7 comprises 11 primary schools and 2 secondary schools stretching from Laborie to Choiseul.
That is a powerful educational network shaping the future of the south.

And let us be honest — our district has talent. Plenty talent.

Last year, District 7 schools also showed strong cultural and academic energy, with schools like Saltibus Combined making national headlines through student achievement and participation.
That same spirit is now entering the examination rooms this week.

But beyond grades and placement scores, this moment is about something even deeper:

✨ Confidence.
✨ Discipline.
✨ Character.
✨ Believing that children from rural communities can compete with anyone in Saint Lucia.

To every Grade 6 student reading this:

Do not let fear defeat you before the paper even starts.

You have already overcome years of challenges to reach this point. Your teachers prepared you. Your parents supported you. Your communities believe in you.

Walk into that examination room with confidence.

Read carefully.
Stay calm.
Trust your preparation.
Pray if you must.
And give it your very best.

Remember — one exam does not define your worth, but giving your best effort always will.

The entire Choiseul–Saltibus community is rooting for you.

💙💛📚

To the teachers and school staff of District 7 and across Saint Lucia:

THANK YOU.

Your fingerprints are all over the future of this nation.

And that deserves respect.
