The success at CXC follows the school’s success at the local Common Entrance Examination in which the school gained the first place through Maya Hadeed. The exam results that were released late last week by the Ministry of Education show that Westmorland School gained three places of the top 12 performances, while St. Joseph’s Convent (SJC), St. George’s gained seven places.
