Congratulations and welcome to all our new Form 1 students. You are now a part of the Couva West Secondary

School family and we have full confidence that you will do your part to make us proud.


You are about to begin your secondary school education. You will now have different teachers for different subjects

and the curriculum will build on what you already know from your previous classes at the primary level. There may

be times you face challenges as the School Year progresses and we have our Student Support Services available to

​you.


You have a great opportunity before you and I trust that with your Parents/Guardians and Teachers support you will

grasp every chance you have to learn and expand your knowledge.


Yes! We too, have rules and guidelines. Couva West Secondary School students speak respectfully and honestly and

wear their uniform correctly and proudly. Students are punctual and prepared for class daily with assignments and

books.

Our students are kind, thoughtful and appreciate that we all learn differently.


You are our future Leaders, Scientists, Authors, Craftsmen, Mathematicians, Explorers, Creative thinkers, Artists,

​ Skilled   athletes, Agriculturists, Technology Specialists, Educators, Readers, Entrepreneurs

and so much more to add to the list of  possibilities open to you starting today.


Students you will be guided by teachers who have you best interests at heart, who will help you as

best as they can to reach your full potential. Your Parents and Guardians roles will now be to ensure

that you are supervised at home and assist you with managing your time well.


Parents/Guardians, I know with us working together, this school year can be one of growth

and new positive experiences for all our children as they begin their first year at Couva West

Secondary School.


Remember that every accomplishment started with a decision to try.



May the 2025-2026 School Year be a most engaging, inspiring and positive experience for

​ each one of you.

It is an honour and a privilege to serve as your Principal.



Warmest Regards,

Ms. Caren Pegus
