Exam Success

A group of 6^th – 8^th grade students and teachers from CGA travelled across the lake on Thursday for the release of the Hexagon Exams.  CGA has been a member of the organization for the past three years.  There are six other schools that we take exams with once a term (3 times in a year).  These schools are the top schools in the two districts.  The official release was done at Gethsemane Gardens Christian Academy on Mfangano Island. 

The 6^th Graders stole the show for CGA by taking first place in Math and second place in English.  Some individuals excelled such as Valary Ann and Alphonce Oyuko who finished 2^nd in Mathematics with 96%.  Valary also emerged as the best girl overall, followed closely by Helen Achieng who was #2.  Whitny Awuor was the third CGA girl who finished in the top ten. 

It was pleasing to me personally as I have been working with those 6th graders since last year in Math.  I think since CGA joined the Hexagon we have only achieved #1 in a subject maybe once or twice and that was always in English, so it is a big accomplishment for the class.  We hope that they will be able to maintain that good performance in the coming terms and years. 

The performance of 7^th and 8^th grade was below what they had done in the past, but we hope with more hard work, they will move back up to where they should be. 

We thank God for the opportunity that these 18 students and 4 teachers had to see a new place and we hope they will benefit from the experience.
