In a heartfelt ceremony that turned a moment of vulnerability into one of triumph, top-performing Theatre Arts student Emya Geness was officially presented with her 2025 CSEC award today by Director of Education, Clare Browne Esq.

The presentation follows an emotional moment at the National CSEC Awards Ceremony earlier this year, when Emya, poised to receive national recognition for her academic excellence, stumbled on stage.

Despite the initial shock and self-doubt that followed, Emya continued to carry herself with quiet strength and dignity. Her story became one of courage, perseverance, and the unwavering belief that every student deserves to be uplifted, especially in moments of vulnerability.

Surrounded by the love and encouragement of her proud parents, Ray and Anreka Geness, Emya stood tall as the Director of Education, Clare Browne Esq., officially presented her with her award and praised her for demonstrating strength of character in the face of adversity.

The ceremony closed on a hopeful note, with Emya smiling through tears of joy. The moment served as a reminder not only of her academic talent but of the importance of supporting students beyond the classroom, especially during their most vulnerable times.

This chapter ends not in embarrassment, but in triumph.
