She was awarded grades 1in Business Management Unit 1 and Accounting Unit 1 and grades 2 in Business Management 2 and Economics Unit 1. An elated Henry attributed her success at this year’s exams to hard work and an outstanding programme at Lead Institute. “I thank God for his blessing. I am elated that I did well, it was a challenging few months, I encountered a few hurdles, one of which was having missed one month of classes. However, with commitment and diligence, I succeeded. I am also excited for Lead Institute,” Henry said.
In recognition of her scholastic achievement, Lead Institute presented Ms. Henry with a partial scholarship that will go towards her tuition on her second year of studies. “We are always looking for ways to challenge and inspire our students to excel and so we are happy to present you with this scholarship for $500.00 on your outstanding achievement, “said David Vital, Director of Lead Institute. “It is our fervent hope” he added, “that your success will motivate both prospective and continuing students to aspire to their optimum level of performance.”
Local CXC Registrar Catherine Daniel congratulated Lead Institute on its performance at the CAPE exams, noting that she was especially proud of Henry’s achievements. “It’s with great pride and satisfaction that I have to report that the CAPE results have been released,” she said. “Netritia Henry, a Lead Institute student has achieved good passes in four subject areas having achieved two grade 1 and two grade 2. This is the best that Dominica has received in its results for CAPE since it started”.
