NINETEEN PUPILS SAID goodbye to the St John Primary School during their graduation ceremony this morning.

During the event at the Messiah Wesleyan Holiness Worship Centre in Messiah Street, St John, Minister of Culture Stephen Lashley encouraged them to pursue areas of study in which they had a natural interest.

“You will have greater satisfaction not just in the short term but certainly in the long term if you do the things you truly love,” he said.

Lashley also introduced the William and Verona Lashley Foundation Prize which is named in honour of his parents.

It went to top boy Zachary Hill and top girl Chinara Blunte who will both be attending The Lodge School in September.
