Students attending the Rotary Club of St. Vincent’s 25th Annual George Phillips Award Ceremony were encouraged to use the resources available to them to create something meaningful and impactful.
Delivering the featured address on June 4, 2026, at the Methodist Church Hall in Kingstown, Businessman and Chef Xavier Stapleton urged students to embrace the theme ‘Excellence in Every Step’ throughout their academic and personal journeys.
As a former award recipient, Stapleton praised parents and guardians for their unwavering support and reminded students that **perseverance, hard work, and determination are key to achieving their goals and building a successful future.
Excellence in Every Step is not just a theme—it is a mindset that can guide students both in and out of the classroom.
The George Phillips Award recognizes outstanding fourth form students across St. Vincent and the Grenadines for excellence in academics, leadership, discipline, and extracurricular achievement.
