Nevis Cooperative Credit Union

In keeping with the Credit Union Principle: "Concern for Community", the Nevis Co-operative Credit Union (NCCU)has been actively supporting initiatives aimed at promoting educational excellence among the schools on Nevis. This commitment has been demonstrated over the past 11 years, in the form of sponsorship of the Inter-Primary Schools Quiz Competition, which is organised and hosted by the St. John’s Community Improvement Club (SJCIC), in conjunction with the Ministry & Department of Education.

The 27th Annual SJCIC Inter-Primary Schools Quiz Competition which was held at the Mandela Community Centre, The Flats, Cole Hill, St. John’s Parish came alive on Monday November 24, 2008 when the eight (8) primary schools on Nevis competed for SJCIC/NCCU Inter-Primary Schools' Championship: 2008-2009. The competition was keenly contested by all schools, but the St. Thomas’ Primary School (represented by Orian Stapleton and Soroya Warner) proved to the others who the champion of champions are, by once again dominating the competition for the third consecutive year.

The Charlestown Primary School (represented by Kerrese Elliott and Yashas Aravind) followed in second place, while St. John’s Primary School (represented by Sadiki Tyson and Somiche Guishard) placed third.

The St. Thomas Primary School also took the trophies for Best Individual Performance which was won by Orian Stapleton while his fellow student (Soroya Warner) won the Runners-Up Trophy.

The NCCU is once again proud to be associated with this event and take this opportunity to congratulate the SJCIC (Organizer/Host); the Participating Schools (Principal, Teachers, Students, Parents & Supports); and the Participants (Students) for an evening of excellent educational display.

To each school, your students are winners within themselves and they should be reminded that “There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try and be right (next time)”- (Winston Churchill).

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!
