Despite the recent unfortunate event where their science laboratories were lost to a fire on Friday during morning hours, 250 Grade 10 students at Good Shepherd Lutheran Secondary School in Madang province are determined and focused on preparing for their upcoming Written Expression Exam, scheduled for June 6th.
Principal Mr. Ben Tamilong shared that despite the challenges faced, the school had previously scheduled mock exams to aid the students in their preparation.
“The first mock exam, based on the 2022 paper, was administered two weeks ago, and the second mock exam, featuring the 2023 paper, is set to take place this Thursday as planned.”
“There will be no disruptions or deferrals in the students’ exam readiness leading up to the crucial exam week in the coming month.”
The school’s Principal also mentioned that despite the loss of the labs, the school has not been deterred in its efforts to equip the students adequately for their exams.
Additionally, in response to inquiries regarding GTFS funds for term 2, Mr. Tamilong shared that the school had recently received slightly over K150, 000, which will be utilized.
“Part of these funds will be allocated towards procuring the necessary equipment required for the upcoming science exams.”
These funds were confirmed to have been received within the time-frame ranging from last Friday to this week Monday.
