The 11-year-old Head Girl of St George Primary School, Skai Cox, who placed seventh islandwide and emerged as the top female performer at her school in this year’s 11-Plus examination, said she was always confident that Harrison College would be her next destination.

“I wasn’t really too nervous,” Cox recalled of the examination period. After the test, she said she was simply “happy to have that off my schedule”.

Her performance added to a strong showing by St George Primary School, which produced two students in the island’s top ten.
