"SPRING HIGH" : 8/17/2009
Spring high with joyous jubilation. Your goals are renewing; accomplishments refreshing, your boldness ensuing, the future pursuing. Revise your academic wishes and your plans. Aim for 100 and you probably will get 80, but aim for 50 and you will most likely fail. Set your study program to excell above what is expected of you. You are Great! Springer. Keep on Striving and continue to Spring forth. Sandy U.S.A.

Nothing isnt wrong with Springer. Recently one of the athletes made Barbados Histroy in being one of the first persons to get a Netball Scholarship to the UK. Its not the students its the name of the school that public take notice of. Note what schools you metion

Does Springer glory only extends to school sports???? After that where are all these Springer athletes? They certainly ain't gain from the gold up there in government Hill!!!! In the mean time...am I seeing girls from Lester Vaughan, Lodge, HC, SMS, QC going off on scholarships and doing well on the international track ...going to World Youth Games and World Junior games.... Something done wrong with Springer then!!!!
Athletics & Education : 3/28/2009
Just like education in b'dos. Too much emphasis is placed on a 5 day sport event, and a one day event like the "common entrance" and "O'levels" or their modern day equivalent. Sports and education should be approached as life-time opportunities and priviledges. Ex Lodge boy - with zero o'levels - subsequent CUNY and Harvard graduate - Higly successful entrepreneur. Can you argue against that "track record" LOL
Congrats : 3/24/2009
Well done Springer, my old school. Back then when I was at Springer years ago, I too love going to school sports, I would never miss sports. Keep that Springer flag flying high!!!!!!!!
