Placencia Elementary Ltd

Introducing the radiant and multi-talented graduate, Bree Roberts, who is embarking on her next chapter at St. Catherine’s to pursue her secondary education! Bree, you are courageous, articulate, witty, and a true risk-taker. Your charisma and determination inspire everyone around you.

We are confident that you will continue to thrive in every endeavor, leaving your mark with both brilliance and heart. Go forth, Bree, share your speed, enthusiasm, and unstoppable spirit with the world! ❤️

Teaching children to celebrate and embrace diversity means helping them view differences as a beautiful part of life. By encouraging curiosity, empathy, and respect early on, children learn to value everyone's unique background, including race, culture, language, and abilities!❤️💙

Playing sports with friends at school goes far beyond physical exercise. It acts as a powerful catalyst for mental well-being, builds deep interpersonal trust, and helps students develop crucial social skills in a low-pressure setting. Shared victories and losses create strong bonds that support students through academic challenges.

We are proud to present Alara Morpurgo as the Vote of Thanks for the 2025–2026 graduating class. Alara is a remarkably creative student whose essays this year have been both insightful and inspiring. Beyond her academic achievements, she shines as a creative leader, bringing imagination and originality to every endeavor. Her love for art and reading reflects her vibrant spirit and passion for learning.

Remembering Ms. Barbara ❤️

While going down memory lane today, we discovered some very special photos from our passion‑project fishing sessions with Ms. Barbara. Fridays were always a highlight, as students eagerly looked forward to spending time with her, learning the art of artisanal fishery and deepening their connection to our community.

Her lessons and skills are woven into our love for the sea and our respect for tradition. Ms. Barbara inspired many of our girls to become passionate fishers, while our boys gained a profound admiration for her mastery and strength.

We think of you often, especially whenever we speak about fishing and the lessons you shared. Thank you for the countless special moments and the legacy you left in our hearts. Continue to rest in peace, Ms. Barbara.

Shoutout to three of our past students who are graduating from Belize High School this year!

We are beyond proud of each of you and the incredible milestones you’ve achieved. Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance continue to inspire us, and we celebrate this important step in your academic journey. 💙💙💙
