Students across The Bahamas joined in celebrating Commonwealth Day under the theme “Together We Thrive.” At Adelaide School Primary, Golden Isles Member of Parliament and Environment and Natural Resources Minister, Vaughn Miller, delivered a message emphasising unity, teamwork, and national pride.

Addressing children aged 5 to 12, Miller highlighted The Bahamas’ role in the Commonwealth, a global family of 56 nations. The remarks encouraged students to be proud of their culture, respect others, protect the environment, and work together for a brighter future.

“The Commonwealth believes in young people like you because you are the future,” Miller stated. “When we work together, we all succeed.”

Students participated in cultural performances and activities showcasing The Bahamas’ rich heritage, including a display of our national symbols by preschoolers. These activities reinforced the importance of collaboration and shared values among Commonwealth nations. Other Commonwealth countries, such as St Lucia, Jamaica, Grenada, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago, were also highlighted through dance, poetry, skits, and other creative presentations.

The celebration underscored The Bahamas’ commitment to fostering unity and resilience among its youth and neighbouring Commonwealth of nations, ensuring that “Together, We Thrive!”
