It's official... Adoration Christian School is finished for the year! Sadly I missed it... the last week was full of meetings and then a nasty little bug kept me home for two days. I'm sad I wasn't able to participate in the last week of activities but am thankful that next week will be spent with the teachers as they correct exams, write report cards, prepare for the graduation ceremony and pack away their supplies for another year. I will also have one final chance to see all the students at the end of year assembly and graduation ceremony.
Over the next several weeks official government exams will be taking place. Similar to Canada (and many other countries), the government has standardized testing for Grade 6, 9, Rheto and Philo (final two years of secondary school) students. Unlike Canada, if a student does not pass this test they may not advance to the following grade and must repeat the grade until they are able to pass the test. The test covers material from the entire school year and much memorization is required. Students study for weeks and weeks leading up to the exam. As many of our students already have large gaps in their education, failing this exam causes them to be even further behind in their education. Next week our Grade 6 students will be writing. We pray that they will put forth their best effort and be able to demonstrate all that they learned in the past year. If they pass, they will be moving on next year to secondary school. They are a fun class and they will be missed greatly!
