THE Lodge School was a sea of blue, yellow and black as students and teachers celebrated the 44th anniversary of Barbados’ Independence yesterday.
The annual event began with a military parade on the playing field and continued with a service of thanksgiving for the school and the nation.
The highlight of the day for the students however, was the cultural presentation which featured the many talents of the students, in song, dance and drama.
Past student John King also attended the event and sang a few of his hits including the popular “All Hands on Deck”.
Images of Barbados of yesteryear were prominently displayed by the second form students in their classrooms.
Organiser of the cultural display, Wynell Yearwood-Scott expressed concern that a number of students were unfamiliar with many of the items that were on display. The comprehensive showcase featured modes of transportation, childhood games and past times, life on the sugar plantation and ‘working hard to make a living.’ (JH)
