President Jeffrey Bostic on Tuesday encouraged students of Half Moon Fort Primary School to never allow the school’s small size to limit their ambitions, telling them that “smallness” should never stop them from achieving great things.

During a visit to the school, the President praised the students, principal and staff for their presentations and described the institution as “a hidden gem”.

“I want to say to you, ma’am, and to your entire staff and this school, that you all have a hidden gem here in this school,” he said.
