GSAT Time at St. Mary's All Age



It's that time of the academic year here at St. Mary's All Age - GSAT Exams. All sixth grade students on the island sit for two days of testing. This test is used to determine whether a student will go on to high school or trade school. Students who do well start 1st Form/7th Grade at a high school the next September. Students who do not pass, come back to St. Mary's All Age for another year and try again next year. If you fail twice you are off to provocational/trade school.
This morning we stated with "Devotion" in Church before the students sat for their exam... a few choruses, Scripture, prayers of petition, and some more singing before pencils were put to use. Say one for the 63 students who will sit these days for GSAT 2K7.
