PLEs

We have had such good news this week. All 6 of our students passed in Second Grade in the Primary Leaving Exam (PLE) that took place in the beginning of November 2011. This was our first year as a school to sit for PLE and we are so pleased with the outcome.

For all of you who are not knowing about the PLEs here is a bit of information. PLE is as the name indicates, an exam that is done as a student is leaving Primary and moving on to Secondary. This is a very important document that a person carries with them for life and helps to direct the course of future studies. There are six positions that you can be placed in depending on the score in the four subjects that are tested, Math, Science, Social Studies, English. First Grade is the best, which would be like getting an A. Second grade is next, like a B. Third grade is like a C and Fourth Grade is a D. Then Fifth and Sixth Grades are failures.

So our students all scored in the Second Grade. Vibia missed the First Grade by one point. Ruth and Hamidu were two points away from a First Grade. Juliet was only three point away from a First Grade. Betty scored in the middle of the Second Grade. Rogers was at the bottom of a Second Grade, but he made it.

We are so proud of these students and are overjoyed at the outcome of these results. This is going to reflect very well on us as a school and help more parents to trust us with their children. Thank you to all of you for your prayers and support for the school at large.
