Recognition is also paid to the two (2) National Holidays celebrated while we were on recess.

The fifty-fifth (55th) Anniversary of our

Independence and the forty-first (41st) Republic Day Celebrations. As a nation, Trinidad and Tobago has given birth to sports and academic heroes, nurtured cultural icons and stood on the shoulders of Statesmen and women who have fought for our right to self-determination. These holidays are a time for us to pay respect to their contributions and seek to re-engage the nation to band together for the greater good.
