The Ministry of Education wishes to pay tribute to Mr. Christopher George, who was a long standing member of the Teaching fraternity here in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Mr. Christopher George began his service in the formal system as an Educator at the tender age of 19 in the capacity of Student teacher, and he used the opportunities which were available to him to advance his teaching career. Our records indicate that he successfully completed the Certificate in Teacher Education in 1987 and then served as a Qualified Assistant teacher. He then pursued and completed a Diploma in Theology and by August 15th 2007, he was elevated to the post of Headteacher (Ag) at the Westwood Methodist School. In 2009, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts Degree (with first class honours) from the University of the West of England. During the period March 2010 to January 2012, he was appointed on promotion to serve as Headteacher of the Westwood Methodist School.
The Communities of Westwood and Chateaubelair and the nation by extension have been blessed with a teacher, an administrator, a leader, who was committed to the holistic development and growth of the students placed in his care. He developed a wide range of experiences in the education system as a result of the schools and areas in which he served in this blessed island. His many students, from the Buccament Bay Secondary, Petit Bordel Secondary and the Westwood Methodist School have much to be grateful for, particularly with respect to the quality of his instruction, his Christian principles, and the depth of his pastoral care, his personal touch and his quiet sincere manner. His love for his students extended to tutoring them in music at his home in Chateaubelair, continually using his talents and expertise to help them empower themselves to face life’s many challenges.
The Ministry of Education is grateful for his dedicated service to the development of this nation’s children and teachers, for nurturing them during his thirty years as educator, leader, administrator and friend.
The Ministry of Education therefore extends condolences to Mr. George’s widow, his children, relatives, teachers and students of Westwood Methodist School and the immediate community, and shares in their loss at this time.
