The Physical Education department used the Cooper Test as a challenge for the new Form 1 students of the Castries Comprehensive Secondary School. The 12-minute run fitness test was developed by Kenneth Cooper, M.D. The Cooper test, as it's also known, is still used today as a field test for determining aerobic fitness. It is also used by many coaches and trainers to determine cardiovascular fitness and track fitness over time. This simple test also allows you to compare your cardiovascular endurance with others of your age and gender.

The afternoon was fun filled with participants running with a back drop of music and drums engulfing the atmosphere. 

The Food and Nutrition School Based Assessment (SBA) focuses on developing entrepreneur skills and the usage of local foods to create products that meet industry standards. The big chef steakhouse accepted an invitation to demonstrate the preparation of both yeast and quick breads (as stated in the SBA guidelines). Big Chef Steakhouse met the criteria for packaging and labeling which was required by the SBA. 

 Mr. Joinville of the Big Chef Steakhouse felt it necessary to give back to his almamater by awarding two gift vouchers of Two hundred and Fifty Dollors ($250) to the best performing students for this CSEC SBA.
