She is the second of her siblings to receive a Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) open scholarship, but for 19-year-old Treverra James it came as no surprise.
In 2017, her elder sister Safiya James, another past student of Bishop’s High School, was awarded an open scholarship, and is in Ireland studying medicine.
In an interview with Newsday on Friday, the day after Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly announced this year s scholarships, James said she knew she was up to winning one.
Kenetta Bobb at the ceremony on Tuesday to rename the street in her honour. -
Cradley Trace, in the Scarborough/ Calder Hall district, has been renamed Kenetta Bobb Drive to honour a retired Scarborough Secondary teacher. Residents of the area and Scarborough Secondary alumnus Kevon Mc Kenna recommended renaming the street renamed not only to honour Bobb but to avert postal errors caused by duplicated street names. There is another Cradley Trace in the same district.
Newsday was told there are a number of duplicated street names in the district that have caused confusion for decades.
In 2017 the Tobago House of Assembly started a continuing initiative to name every street in Tobago.
