In a landmark event for Santa Maria RC School in Moruga, students were introduced to a wide array of career possibilities during the school’s first-ever Career Fair, held on November 7 along Penal Rock Road. The event, aptly named ‘Community Helpers,’ was a significant expansion of the school’s traditional career day, which previously featured only three guest speakers. This year, the fair was organized by Principal Genevieve Gopaul-Francis and staff members in collaboration with the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), led by Choy Aping. The goal was to expose students to diverse career paths, spark curiosity, and bridge classroom learning with real-world applications. Professionals from various fields, including law enforcement, agriculture, healthcare, and sports, shared their experiences and insights. Representatives from the South West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA) highlighted opportunities in the health sector, while community police officers discussed roles beyond traditional policing, such as legal officers and prosecutors. Fire and prison officers also spoke about their vital work. The Ministry of Agriculture, Land, and Fisheries demonstrated hydroponics, showcasing innovative agricultural practices. Esther Brereton, librarian from the Moruga Public Library, emphasized the importance of literacy through a read-aloud session. Former West Indies women’s cricket captain Merissa Aguilleira, a Moruga native, inspired students with her journey in sports. The event, supported by the Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SporTT), also revitalized the school’s cricket program, with nearly every student now involved. The fair left students inspired and eager to explore their future possibilities.
