Schools will be advised on the date for the presentation of awards. Through many engaging and creative performances, students and their teachers demonstrated an understanding and application of Integrity in everyday life. Performances and works of Art shed light on pertinent student related issues such as bullying in schools, stealing, cheating and the right of students to learn in a safe environment without fear. The annual competition sought to challenge students to compose, invent, design and perform concepts on the topic of Integrity. Finals were held recently at the auditorium of the Rudranath Capildeo Learning Resource Centre at Couva and at the Anne Mitchell-Gift auditorium of the Scarborough Public Library. The adjudicators included nine persons eminent in education and the Arts. Students competed in the following areas:• An Integrated Arts Presentation on the theme of Integrity that included all elements of Visual And Performing Art disciplines - Music, Visual Arts, Drama/Theatre Arts, and Dance/Creative Movement. • A Language Arts Portfolio that contained a variety of media including written pieces by students and teachers of the process undergone while preparing for the presentations. All of the subject areas are prominent in the national primary and secondary curricula including the Continuous Assessment Component (CAC) of the Trinidad and Tobago Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) at the primary level and the National Certificate of Secondary Education (NCSE) at the secondary level. The Integrity Commission launched the competition in September 2014 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Tobago Division of Education. The Commission sponsored a series of workshops in all education districts during which time techniques in the Language, Visual and Performing Arts as well as guidelines for the competition were provided to over 200 teachers.
