There is an old saying that \u201cevery disappointment is a blessing\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, however, while some may think that is questionable, we will agree that this time it certainly was a \u201cblessing\u201d.\u00a0 The delay or rescheduling of the Caribbean Examinations has afforded a little more time for students to get more studying and some practical exercises done.\u00a0 \u201cMaking use of this extra time was utilized to show students different aspects in Agriculture and I chose Agro-prosessing\u201d, said Mrs. Nicolette Francis, Head of the Agriscience Department at the Clare Hall Secondary School.<\/p>\n

Fifth Formers at the Clare Hall Secondary School (CHSS) got a treat on Tuesday 3rd<\/sup> when Ms. Elsie Phillip (Head of the Agriscience Department for Sir Novelle Richards Academy) at the request of Mrs. Francis, complied. She taught and demonstrated an Agro-prosessing class in soap production.\u00a0 Using the Melt & Pour<\/em><\/strong> method the students were shown the processes of soap making.\u00a0 The intention of this special class was to expose students to another sector of Agriculture especially those that were sitting Agriscience for Caribbean Examination Council (CXC).\u00a0 \u00a0However, although intended for the five students that would be sitting the exam other interested students were very much in attendance and were proactively involved.\u00a0 \u201cTo my surprise one student approached me and asked if I needed an Apprentice and she could like to be my apprentice\u201d Ms. Phillip said.<\/p>\n

The soaps were made in shapes of hearts, honeycombs, flowers, and butterflies. \u00a0The two fragrances selected were RoseMarie and Jasmine<\/em><\/strong> and according to Mrs. Francis the exercise went very well and even better than expected.\u00a0 The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Barbuda Affairs would like to commend the good works being done by the Ministry of Education\u2019s Agriscience Department, the schools, teachers and students for keeping Agriculture<\/em><\/strong> vibrant.<\/p>\n
