The team of the TVET Unit extends warm wishes to everyone. It has been a rollercoaster year filled with challenges, opportunities and changes. However, our team has held strong through wonderful team spirit of warmth, collegiality, understanding, compassion and empathy. And so we share with you this year's special Christmas tree. The creative and innovative spirit that distinguishes the TVET Unit produced this beautiful tree from recycled toilet paper rolls. We collected them for a while and have decorated, assembled and lit up our 'tree' filled with good cheer, humor and positive messages.

Our team wishes all our collaborators, colleagues, friends, teachers, principals, students and our fellow St Lucians especially our skilled workers a blessed season and a New Year filled with hope and light. God bless us all.
