Happy Administrative Professionals Day!

Mrs. S Joseph, thank you for the grace and dedication you bring to our school every single day. You are the heart of the office, keeping everything running smoothly with such kindness and professionalism. We truly appreciate the warmth you show to everyone who walks through the doors.

A very special thank you also goes out to Ms. S Caesar. Every great leader needs a "right-hand man," and you fill that role perfectly. Your hard work and support behind the scenes do not go unnoticed. We know you might be a little camera-shy but we couldn't let the day pass without telling you how much you are loved and appreciated!

Thank you both for everything you do for the Dominica Grammar School!❤️

🌟A Double Celebration of Excellence!🌟

Let’s hear a massive round of applause for the incredible Breanni Winston of the Dominica Grammar School for her spectacular win at the 4H Club Public Speaking Competition (Secondary School category)! 🏆🎤

Breanni, you were absolutely phenomenal. We are all in awe of your eloquence, the poise you maintained under pressure and that unshakable confidence that commanded the entire room. You didn’t just speak; you inspired!

❤️ A Moment for the Books
It’s not every day we witness history like this! It was a deeply moving "Proud Teacher and Mother" moment for our very own Mrs. B Winston, who had the rare joy of watching not one, but both of her children claim victory in their respective categories. Talk about a powerhouse family!

🦁 Way to go, Kanaan!
We also have to send a huge shoutout to Kanaan Winston from St. Mary’s Primary! Congratulations on your remarkable achievement in winning the Primary School round. Your hard work and talent truly paid off!

Congratulations to the Winston family and the DGS and SMP communities. The future of public speaking in Dominica is looking very bright! 🇩🇲✨

Invest in the legacy of the Class of 2026! 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓

As our seniors prepare to turn their tassels, we’re inviting alumni and friends to help fund their commencement celebrations.

🖌🎨 Celebrating Cultural Exchange! 🇩🇲🇨🇳

On April 17th, the Dominica Grammar School was honoured to attend the prestigious award ceremony for the Dominica-China Friendship Art Competition.

This special event coincided with International Chinese Language Day, serving as a beautiful bridge between our two cultures. It was a day dedicated to celebrating not just artistic talent, but the spirit of global friendship and the vibrant cultural exchange between Dominica and China.

Join us again in giving a massive round of applause to our incredibly talented students who swept the competition:
🥇 1st Place: Jessinta Matthew
🥈 2nd Place: Rene Talbert
🥉 3rd Place: Ashleen Bobb

A success like this doesn't happen by accident. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Visual Arts teacher, Mr. G JnoBaptiste.
Mr. G JnoBaptiste, your consistent effort, unwavering guidance and infectious passion for the arts have truly empowered our students to reach these heights. Thank you for nurturing the next generation of Dominican artists!

🗣 Huge congratulations to our very own Lydia Charles and Micaela Benjamin for their incredible performance in the Finals of the 2026 Inter-Secondary Schools Debating Competition!

🥈It was an absolute nail-biter of a round and while we walked away with a hard-fought second place, we are extremely proud of the eloquence, logic and passion our girls displayed on that stage.

🏆 A massive shoutout to the Wesley High School on taking home the first-place trophy; well deserved!

💙 To our amazing debate coach, Mrs. Francis-Simon; thank you for your tireless dedication. We wouldn't be here without your guidance.

💪 Watch out, because the Dominica Grammar School will be back better and stronger next year!

Parents, guardians and students take note.

🚢 🌊A Day on the High Seas!🇻🇪🇩🇲

Our Dominica Grammar School 5th Form students had an incredible opportunity today! They were cordially invited aboard a Venezuelan Navy Vessel for an exclusive look into life at sea.

The visit kicked off with a meaningful opening ceremony. Following the formalities, the students were treated to an extensive tour of the vessel, exploring everything from the technical operations to the impressive deck views.

It’s safe to say our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience! ​What makes this even more impressive? Even though it’s currently Easter break, these dedicated students chose to set aside their holiday time to show up and represent their school. That's the DGS spirit! 📚💪It was an eye-opening day filled with learning, discovery and a bit of adventure.

Huge thanks to the crew for their hospitality and for inspiring our future leaders and to our teachers Ms. Stuart, Ms. Z Durand and Mr. E JnoBaptiste. ⚓✨

At the Dominica Grammar School, we believe that academic excellence is only one pillar of a successful life. As our 5th Form students stand on the threshold of their CSEC examinations, our mission is to ensure they approach this milestone not just as scholars, but as well-rounded, resilient individuals.

To bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world, we recently hosted a comprehensive Day Retreat designed to equip our students with the "life syllabus" they need to thrive.

💡 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝑨𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅

Preparation for exams can be a strenuous period, which is why we pivoted our focus toward overall well-being. Our students engaged in vital sessions covering:
* Financial Literacy: Mastering the art of saving and smart money management.
* Health & Wellness: Understanding the importance of physical health and mental clarity during high-pressure seasons.
* Administrative Readiness: Navigating the logistics and expectations of the CXC framework.

🎙️ 𝑨 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑴𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑

We are profoundly grateful to our guest speakers who volunteered their time and expertise to pour into our students:
* Dr. Natasha Maxime-Fritz (Endocrinologist) – On prioritizing health and physiological well-being.
* Mr. Esais Burnette (Founder of Burnette Solutions & IT Consultant) – On leveraging entrepreneurship, technology and innovation.
* Mrs. Shari Pascal-Maronie (Marketing Manager, NCCU) & Mr. Narrin Murphy (Senior Relationship Officer, NBD) – On financial responsibility and building a secure future.
* Ms. Jessica Stedman (Secretary of the CXC Local Registrar) – On the essential protocols for exam success.

🙏 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒆

A marathon like this requires a dedicated crew. A special "Thank You" goes out to our lead organizers: Mrs. Shillingford, Ms. Stuart, and Ms. D. Durand. Also a special thanks to our counselors Ms. Stepenson and Mrs. Pemberton as well as all the teachers who stepped in to assist. Your commitment to these students extends far beyond the chalkboard.

To our 5th Formers: CSEC is fast approaching. You have the knowledge, you have the tools and you have the support of the entire DGS family. Take a deep breath—you are ready.
We wish our students nothing but the absolute best in their upcoming examinations! 🎓📖

We are incredibly proud to announce the Principal’s Honour Roll for the second term (2025-2026).🏆📖
