Serious studying is ongoing as pupils prepare for their midterm exams. All children from P.1-P.6 are seriously preparing for their midterm exams which will be sat for next week. The teachers are seriously revising with them.

Similarly, the P.7 candidates are also well prepared as they are drawing near their PLE Exams. These candidates have less than ten days to sit for their exams and according to an interview I had with them, they said they are more than ready for PLE since they have been writing different papers every after two days.

The IT department of Gombe Junior School has been empowered with more computers. These were put in classrooms for teachers’ use when setting work for children. This has eased the work of the secretary as most of the work is typed by teachers themselves and only taken to the secretary for printing. Similarly, the IT manager was given a brand new computer with a very large screen to replace the one she has been using. Appreciation goes to the Directors for the support given to the IT department.



Tendo Vianne celebrated his birthday here at school with all his classmates together with his mother and auntie. The party was organized at the assembly ground and it was indeed colourful. All his friends were dressed in birthday capes and most of them were given whistles to blow for the birthday boy. A cake and the drinks were served to all the members who attended the party.

Reports from the academic office say it was an average performance and so, all pupils are urged to double their efforts in all subject areas as a way of preparing to pass the End of Term III promotional Exams. Pupils who will not have attained the required promotional aggregates will be made to repeat that class or try elsewhere.

As a way of giving courage to outstanding learners, the names, photographs and positions of the first five best performers in the recently done, End of September Exams in each class were pinned on the school notice board and all classrooms. Other pupils are therefore encouraged to work harder so as to have their names and photos publicized in the whole school.

Much as these children enjoyed their delicious meals, most of their parents were not very happy with their performance in academics. They therefore urged their children to work harder in order to attain promotion to the next classes.



As attacking is the best way of defending, candidates, with the help of their teachers, are seriously conquering all kinds of PLE questions in order to get the best approach to pass their PLE with flying colours. The recent results show that the P.7 team is doing a commendable job to put our school among the National Top Schools.
