-Founder/Director O’Toole endorses sport for students

SCHOOL of the Nations became the latest learning institute to become a part of the Guyana Golf Association (GGA) and their mission is to ensure that the sport is introduced into schools nationwide.
Next month (September), the GGA will hit its one-year mark since they have set out to get more schools in Guyana and more students familiar with the sport, which is now on the CSEC curriculum as a subject, as well as a major part of the University of Guyana’s (UG) Sports Faculty’s subject focus.
With UG, Texila, schools across Region 10 and 4, the association has so far, on average, turned some 100 students into golfers of different calibers, but golfers nonetheless.

Now the addition of School of the Nations, one of Guyana’s premier private learning institutions, which caters to kids, teens and adults, recently teamed up with the GGA to further keep golf and academics married.
Founder and Director of School of the Nations, Mrs. Pam O’Toole, along with a number of her students visited the GGA Academy at the Woolford Avenue location, where they got in a few drives and learned the importance of golf, which is renowned as the favorite ‘second sport’ for most athletes and sports icons globally.
Mrs. O’Toole added that she was elated to have her school be inducted into the endeavor which is geared towards bringing more youths to the ‘Greens’ as golf has easily been one of the sports known for its calming aura, something she added is highly important in the world of education and eventually when one enters the business world.

She thanked GGA president, Aleem Hussain, for inviting School of the Nations to be a part of the ongoing school programme and further committed to being involved along with her students. Mrs. O’Toole said she was very happy to see more girls coming out to take up the sport and help further buff the potential of the endeavor.
Meanwhile, Hussain lauded the school founder for her prowess with the golf club after pulling off a few classy drives. He noted that the support from School of the Nations will further encourage more schools and learning institutions to come and have their students be a part of the ever-growing Academy. (Clifton Ross)
