Ebenezer Thomas Primary School has officially embraced a fresh chapter with the unveiling of its new motto, mascot, and house names. Celebrating 50 years of excellence, the school introduced its revitalised identity, sparking excitement among students, staff, and the local community.
At the heart of this transformation is the school’s new mascot: Thoroughbred House, a nod to the rich horse racing tradition in Sea Cows Bay. Representing speed, strength, and teamwork, the Thoroughbred embodies the school’s commitment to fostering resilience and collaboration among its students.
As part of the revamp, Ebenezer Thomas Primary introduced three new house names, each symbolising the power and grace of iconic horse breeds:
- Green House: Forb
es Arabians - Blue House: Frett Mustangs
- Red House: Brathwaite Appaloosas
The new motto, “Charged For Excellenc
e,” underscores the school’s dedication to nurturing academic success alongside core values of respect, gratitude, and perseverance. The year’s theme, “Staying CHARGED,” aims to inspire students to approa
ch each day with focus and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
With an array of events and activities planned to celebrate these significant changes, the school community is eagerly anticipating the year ahead.
