HAPPY ETHIOPIAN CHRISTMAS


HAPPY ETHIOPIAN CHRISTMAS on 7th JANUARY

          Unbelievable to believe that it is Christmas yet again – the time really seems to fly past these days ( they do say that time flies when you are having fun ! ) but do wonder where on earth it goes to ! – one minute we are starting the school year and the next, we are almost half way through !
            This is always a good time to look back and see what we managed to achieve – sometimes when you are in the thick of things, it is hard to see clear progress ! – you get caught up with the day to day difficulties such as the water going off for the millionth time and the lack of compulsory textbooks ( yes – after four months the government have still not managed to finish them ! ) and the day to day pleasures of almost two hundred smiling eager faces greeting you each day and the exciting experiments going on !
           So, we took the time to see what we have achieved and came up with the following :
Our key 2012 achievements include:

•             35 % increase in the number of pupils on full sponsorships
•             New practical science / social studies curriculum 
•             New developmental English programme
•             Implementation of research and assessment programs
•             85 % increase in teacher training
•             Formation of a computer room with 5 working computers
·                  Addition of a new year group for the pre - kindergarten students ( aged 2 + )
•             Addition of 8  CD players in the school
•             Addition of 133 chairs and tables for the eating room - now all  children have a chair and a table to use for lunch!
•             Formation of a learning support unit for those with  
              educational difficulties
•             50 % increase in the number of extracurricular clubs in the school

This is indeed a fantastic list of achievements and we have more than enough to be proud of ourselves  !
