Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) secretary general Brian Lewis will represent the TTOC and deliver the feature address at the La Puerta Government Primary School Annual Graduation Ceremony which will be held on Thursday 12 June at 10 am at the St Finbar Roman Catholic Church in Westmoorings.The theme of the graduation ceremony is " Meant to Shine".

TTOC president Larry Romany said the national Olympic Committee is youth and athlete focused and accepting an invitation to a function such as the La Puerta graduation ceremony affords the TTOC the opportunity to have a "conversation" with parents,teachers and pupils on the important role that sport and physical activity can play in fostering the holistic development of children and young people.

The students attending the La Puerta primary school come mainly from low income homes and parents and pupils face significant challenges in their dy to day lives.

Lewis is also the chairman of the TTOC Olympic Academy,Education and Culture Committee(OAEC)) host of the annual Olympic youth camp.
