Today, January 23, 2025, the Office of the President welcomed students of the Queen’s Royal College and Pranava Educational Institute for guided tours of The President’s House and grounds. The fine weather allowed both morning and evening groups to experience the full tour. They explored the grounds, interacted with military personnel, visited the public areas of The President’s House and gained greater insight into the role and function of the President. The highlight of the day occurred during the afternoon tour, when students of the Pranava Educational Institute had the opportunity to meet Her Excellency Christine C. Kangaloo ORTT, President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. We hope that both groups had a memorable and educational experience!#SchoolTour#education#officeofthepresidentt... See MoreSee Less
