Orion Academy also placed 3rd in the ‘Trash to Treasure,” Recyclable Fancy Hat Competition, by defeating the Dominica Grammar School and the Convent High School, and thereby giving it the most points of the day, and that propelled them to emerge as the overall winner.

She received a trophy, 3 months’ broadband compliments Digicel, a Natural gift basket, twenty dollars’ credit voucher compliments Digicel, and a complimentary ride for two from Nature Island Adventure Tours.
