During the visit the Governor was informed about developments and a number of programs at the school by the school manager, Mrs. Jacqueline Holiday, deputy school Manager Mrs. Janneke Vonk and other staff members as well as by the Executive Director of the Catholic School Board Mrs. Lilia Avonturin. During the meeting with the management, fourth grader Demani  Mussington showed interest in the function of the Governor as he interviewed Governor Holiday about his role and activities.
