The principal of one of Barbados’ secondary schools has reminded students across the island to appreciate the sacrifices others make in order to provide them with items that they need.
Speaking at the presentation of face masks and Beep travel size disinfectant sprays to five primary and secondary schools recently, principal of Queens College, Dr. David Browne, said: “The reason I wanted to do this presentation today is so the children can understand that things don’t just fall out of the sky.
When people give you something you should appreciate it, so that is why when anybody gives anything to Queen’s College, I insist that they come at full assembly in the morning so that all 1,024 students can see and understand people make sacrifices on their behalf.”

High Court Judge Carlisle Greaves has handed down the maximum 15-year sentence on a gunman who brandished an “ugly”, “fierce-looking” and “extremely dangerous and lethal weapon” while fleeing from police seven years ago.
“These courts by their sentences must establish in the minds of… gunmen strong deterrents. Drop your guns!” Justice Greaves declared Tuesday as he sentenced Bryan Oneal Small to 15 years and his accomplice Jason Omar Morgan to five years in prison.
After pleading not guilty, Small, of Martin’s Road, Pinelands and Morgan, of Garlow Path, Waterford went on trial before a jury last November on a joint charge of having possession of articles for use in the course of or in connection with theft, namely a pair of gloves, two ski masks and a torch.
