142 HLSCC graduates told to ‘move beyond’
The graduation exercise was held on June 8, 2023, at the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex in Road Town, Tortola where graduates, special invitees, officials, and staff from the college, along with friends and family, gathered to share in the momentous occasion.
Delivering remarks to the graduating students, Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) offered congratulations to the students while promising that greater things are ahead of them.
“Enjoy this moment, celebrate your triumph, you have earned it, but this is also an ideal time to think about moving beyond. Moving beyond is about keeping up your momentum, it’s about putting your new qualifications to work for you to advance you in your life both professionally and personally,” he said.
Think about next steps- Premier
The Premier told the students to think about their next step and their passions to gain greater clarity and what moving beyond means. He added that as they move beyond the Government of the VI will cheer on students by providing opportunities for their development.
He added that as the VI and economy are pushed beyond, the Government will be depending on HLSCC to empower Virgin Islanders for successful careers and leadership.
Meanwhile, Education Minister Hon Sharie B. de Castro (AL) also congratulated students for their achievements and reminded them of the transformational power of Education to empower persons as it has empowered her as an alumnus of the college.
