Wednesday, April 22 marked the highly anticipated debut of SALCC’s “Think First Trivia Game Show,” held as part of the College's 40th Anniversary calendar of celebrations. The event delivered an experience that fully justified the excitement surrounding it.

Representing the four houses — François, Lewis, Thomas, and Walcott — contestants arrived well-prepared, demonstrating both intellectual sharpness and competitive spirit. Each team, composed of one staff member and one student, created a dynamic blend of experience and fresh perspective, resulting in a fiercely contested competition from beginning to end.

Following an electrifying series of rounds, only one team could emerge victorious. The title was ultimately claimed by the formidable Thomas Tigers, whose performance set them apart in a closely fought contest.

The concept for the game show was developed by Lecturer Ted Sandiford, who curated a diverse range of questions spanning multiple disciplines, including Saint Lucia’s history and key facts about Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. Contestants navigated three rigorous rounds that tested not only their knowledge, but also their composure and teamwork under pressure.

The event was expertly hosted by Kendell “Scady” Eugene, whose engaging presence and energetic delivery ensured that both participants and audience members remained fully immersed throughout the show.

Outstanding performances were recognized with an impressive array of prizes. First-place winners Kyyle Regis (staff) and Marisa Louis (student) of the Thomas Tigers were each awarded an iPad Air. Second place went to Kayreen Cenac Hippolyte (staff) and Adanya Lewis (student) of the Lewis Lions, who each received an iPhone 17.

Third-place finishers Ryn-Kyj King (staff) and Ethan Glasgow (student) of the François Falcons were awarded a Bluetooth speaker and wireless headphones, while Makoto Nishiura (staff) and Milan Phillip (student) of the Walcott Wolves secured fourth place and received smartwatches. Additionally, audience member Chloe Charles, a staff representative, won a wireless USB game controller.

The success of the event was made possible through the generous support of sponsors Cox Enterprises, Tech Depot, and Computer World, whose contributions played a vital role in the provision of prizes.

Given the overwhelming success of its inaugural staging, there is strong anticipation that the Think First Trivia Game Show will become a flagship annual event on the SALCC calendar.
