“The Bahamas Primary School Student of the Year Foundation is indeed grateful for the continued partnership of Colina Insurance for our 26th Annual Awards Program,” said Dr. Ricardo P.

Colina has a long-standing partnership with the organization that honours the top grade six students in The Bahamas.

“The Bahamas Primary School Student of the Year Awards Program was established in 1997,” said Dr. Ricardo P. Deveaux, President & CEO, BPSSYF.  “Since its inception over 2,500 of the BEST and BRIGHTEST primary school students have been recognized and over $2 million dollars in scholarship and prizes awarded.”
