In response, CAPE graduate Camara Lee noted that her school experiences helped her to adjust to life in "the real world".
"I feel that the knowledge gained from each of my classes can definitely help me in my career in the future. Thank you to the Charlestown Secondary School and Sixth Form College for helping me to emerge into a mature and respectable young lady. You taught me well, but I won't give up now. Life is like a coin, you can spend it in any way you like but you can only spend it once."
