First-year students at the Combermere and Alleyne Schools participated in The National HIV/AIDS Commission’s (Barbados),  ‘Transition to Secondary School’ (T2S) Programme on Wednesday, September 20.

T2S is a joint initiative, with the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation, initially funded by the European Union. It is a fun, interactive, half-day workshop for first form students in all Government Secondary Schools, designed to reduce their vulnerability to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. It also teaches students how to make good decisions in the new school environment and strategies for coping with some of the challenges of transition.
