“To be able to do that on site, is an added bonus. It also reduces the cost for having additional space for our students. In the end, one of our objectives is we want our students to leave here future ready. In doing so, we need to open as many doors as we can for them.”

“CPRS students, parents and staff have to be commended for the efforts and action they undertook to help ameliorate the adverse impacts of the global pandemic."

“We want to ensure our teachers have all the skills they need to implement the new curriculum. It is not a challenge, but something we have to be aware of moving forward.”

A total of 79 post-secondary, high school and adult students, received awards totalling $34,100 from revenue on a capital investment the Nation made in setting up the OTET in February.

If we don’t act now to bolster the ability of our young people to access post-secondary education, we risk negative economic and societal effects that will continue well into the future. While individual students enjoy the private returns of scholarship, society as a whole reaps the public rewards of wise investment in education.
