The Combermere School Old Scholars Association (CSOSA) congratulates Combermere students for consistently good performances in Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) exams over the past decade – 2011 to 2020.

More recently, 14 students showed the mettle of which Combermerians are made by performing outstandingly well in the 2020 CXC exams and being among the best in the entire Caribbean. They placed first to tenth in the CXC Merit list in various subjects.

Three students placed First in the Merit list – Desiree B. Inniss in CSEC Chemistry: Aaliyah C. Robinson in CSEC Food, Nutrition and Health and Donte Payne in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology CAPE Unit 2 (Option A).

Combermere student Shonne R. Marshall placed Seventh in CSEC Food, Nutrition and Health with a Grade 1 made up of three As.

In CAPE Unit 1, Nyanna D. Williams gained a third place in Animation and Game Design, while Ean Bynoe placed fifth in that subject. Max Durant and Ajani Alleyne placed Tenth in Green Engineering and Computer Science, respectively.

Romi Holder placed Fifth in Animation and Design, while his colleague, Ronaldo Barrow, gained a seventh place.

Combermere School was dominant in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology Unit 2 (Option A) with 5 students placing First to Fifth and one Seventh place. Positions were as follows: First – Donte Payne; Second – Jemuel Miller; Third – Brandon Ruck; Fourth – Sheradeane Grant-Cadogan; Fifth – Primus R. Walrond; Seventh – Andre C. Applewhaite.

These performances come on the heels of two Third Year students, Genesis Parris and Chereece Walcott placing first and second respectively in the CIBC Regional Art Competition. The CSOSA thanks the school’s administration and teachers for their continuing effort at aiming at excellence in both academic and non-academic pursuits.

Through our development groups in academics;
extra-curricular activities; infrastructure improvement,
funding initiatives and public relations efforts, the CSOSA will build on this stable platform and work with teachers and parents of students to continue to enhance the teaching – learning situation at Combermere and to provide motivation for students.

We are proud also of the students who have gained scholarships through hockey, football and cricket which have allowed them to study at universities and colleges overseas.

As old scholars, we will give full support to activities such as cadets, scouts, hockey, girl guides and other school-based clubs, knowing that the true goal of Combermere School is to produce well-rounded students with caring attitudes toward our fellowmen, in keeping with our motto: Humanitate, Religione, Industria. Up and On.
