As one of the heritage buildings, Mrs. Nagamootoo said the Residence, which is over 150 years old holds tremendous historical significance and she saw it fit that students got the opportunity to visit the home and learn about its history.
During the tour, Mrs. Nagamootoo, who is a former teacher took the opportunity to encourage the students, most of whom were fourth formers to study hard and work towards achieving their life goals.
Educational pamphlets and other memorabilia were handed out to the students and teachers of the two schools.
Posters showcasing Guyana’s Independence history and a short video on the residence were showcased.
