Girls outperform boys in national exams; St. Martin School dominates
Dominica News Online - Monday, June 25th, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Top performer Selena Pacquette of Mahaut
Three St Martin School students have emerged among the top five performers in the 2012 Grade 6 National Assessment exams.
The five identified by the Ministry of Education are Selena Pacquette of St Martin’s, Kerene Williams also of St Martin’s, Omondi McIntyre of Pioneer Prep, Kelma Rolle of St Martin’s, and Ke-Sean Peter of St John’s.
The government says it is awarding 95 scholarships this year and 126 bursaries.
Education Minister Peter St Jean told reporters at a news conference that the performance of the students who wrote the exams this year “has been to a very great extent satisfactory, given that in most subject areas students were able to score just about 60 per cent”.
Education officials say the official assessment has shown that in most of the subject areas the girls are outperforming the boys.
“The girls did better – too many boys are at the bottom end,” Senior Education Officer Nicholas Goldberg explained.
He cited a number of examples to back the findings, including that in the areas of Maths 11 per cent of the girls got A’s while only 4 per cent of the boys did.
It was a matter also addressed by the Education Minister.
“The biggest concern for me is the fact that we continue to see a low level of performance among a small segment of the boys – just about 10 per cent of our boys still obtain grades that are below average,” Minister St Jean said, describing it as a serious concern for his ministry.
He said the situation in which the females are outclassing their male counterparts appears to have something to do with their performance in reading.
The perception is that the girls seem to be making reading much more of a priority than the boys.
“Parents must encourage students to read from the earliest levels – work with the children if they are to achieve success,” the minister advised.
He also made reference to what he labeled a small group of teachers and other education officials who are not giving of their best, warning them that necessary action would be taken.
St Jean called on “the few teachers we have in the system, the few education officers who we have in the system who are not bothered about ensuring that they produce, that they give of their best” to buck up or face the consequences.
“That in this coming year we will put measures in place to ensure that we rid the system of people who are just relaxed and believe that at the end of the day you get a pay, not having done the work,” the education minister warned.

Congrats pamo for a job well done
makes no sense!!!
Ken and Bobo must be smiling down at their princesses, and Catyea congrats
Congratulations to Omondi for putting Pioneer on the map!
them children smart
Stupes @ this Vanessa person! You’re insultive and downright rude! How dare you question the intelligence of Portsmouth children? Don’t you know that it had to take us Portsmouth people to run all your high offices in Roseau for you Roseau idiots? There was legitimate reason to believe the children did that well because RDPS has a history of bringing out top scholars, so Miss Vanessa shut your big, hungry trap!
you have the wrong vanessa. think before you write
Ananymous!!!!!!!!!!!! Jump down from your high horse, roll over,sober up and relax. We are not at war with teachers. We love them and we understand their role quite clearly. Look for the key words in the comment and re-evaluate your response. Have a blessed day.
Congratulations to all students who reap the rewards of their hard work. Speacial Shout out to MAHAUT, you go girl! Next, special shout out goes to Omondi McIntyre, representing all the young boys…
I wish to congratulate all the kids and to encourage them on their journey to secondary school. This exam is behind you now, but you have many more ahead of you and this is what you need now to prepare for. I love all of them as my own. I will be looking out for them all in the future. I am proud of of Convent Prep and all the teachers who worked so hard to prepare the children. Although I will not have another child in the school I pledge my continuous support.
Bagatelle School, good job, two scholarship out of seven. Looking forward to bigger things! Congrats to you guys!, afterall you too deserve to be highlighted! dont worry little communities like us, do have potential too!!
Teachers ought to be trained so that they act as the parent during school hours. Their behaviour must gain them the respect they earn. They must understand that the kids are looking at them for hours and they are smart. That’s why they are teaching them. Therefore teachers, STOP COMPARTMENTALISING your students. ENCOURAGE AND MOTIVATE ALL OF THEM THE SAME. Remember they are studing you too. I was motivated by THE RESULTS OF THE National Exams to post this note. I will looking to see if I see that change in the classroom next school year.
How can a teacher act as a parent when they cannot punish the kids? You be the parent and let the teacher be the teacher. The teacher is not a babysitter. We as parents need to do our job and not burden the teacher with our responsibilities, and then still turn around and want to abuse those very same teachers.
Adviser, when you tell the teachers to act like parents in school I hope you will behind them when and if they punished your child for not taking part or doing what they say… all you always saying teachers this and teachers that but you all have to realize they are not the parents you are the parents.. and teacher your kids at home, let them do their homework when given to them by the teachers and when they go to school they will be better off, Teachers do not need to be parents, they are there to teach your kids not be their parents..
Hooray Elleen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hats off to you. You make all of us at Morne Pros proud. Keep looking to the light my child and you cannot go wrong.
Congrats Omondi,
you are proving that it runs in the genes. way to go.
Unc Steve
Genes on both sides!!! lol
lol….
Eh ben if dno have to take out all our comments is best we dont come here to comment when it so much easier to comment freely
DNO, you mean you went to St Martin School and only took a pic of the child who placed first? Since the top five students were mentioned, wouldn’t it be nice to post pics of all five. In this the age of technology, it is very easy to call the school and get a pic emailed to you if you cannot go visit the school in person.
This is unfair to the other four kids who performed so well.
Maybe she was the only one present to take her photo… or the others did not want their photo on the web, didn’t you consider that…come one people this is petty
Or it sound more like you’re making the PETTY excuses!
AUNTY congratulate your niece and nephew they did well that jealous person eating his or her heart out
Thank God..Congrats to the St. Martin Primary School. The Principal, Mrs. Moreau and especially the 6-1 Teacher, Mrs. Bonnie, who made these girls her very own during that school year. Job well done…Giving God all the praise and glory. Thumbs up to the school, and the supportive parents.
WHEN i WENT TO SCHOOL i GOT A PAST. THE STUDENT WHO GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP HARLY GOT 3 SUBJECT i GOT FIVE ONES. SOMETIMES FULLING THESE KIDS HEAD WITH SCHOLARSHIP AND BURSRIES STORY MAKES THEM COMPLACENT BE CAREFUL, CXC is way more important and normally the boys get the 10 ones. dont get to high in the sky. But to Selena mother Job well done iLL BE TAKING A PAGE FROM YOUR BOOK. Selena princess its just the bigining. You have achieved congrats BUT keep up the good work dont stop here may God bless your brain.
Oh My God!!! What is happening to Convent Prep and SMP?
Let’s get real now. Think carefully. While I don’t mean to sound the least bit ‘elitist’ what a windfall it would have been for the TOP FIVE students to come from Portsmouth this year …as in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
That would have been phenomenal yes. A good thing but a bit unusual, don’t you think?
I must say that rumour was very specific papa although some are saying top 3, some are saying top5, some say is the minister who called, others say is the chief. it all boils down to one thing…somebody or bodies took you all for a ride. Go blame those persons.
Congratulations to Selena Pacquette and all the other students who were successful in the examination
congrats to faith jaide and kassinda the sky is the limit dont stop there the journey has just began with Christ in u all lives all things are possible dont stray from him let u all light shine where ever u go follow good company and u will surley make it
Government should award at least 150-200 scholarships.Spend money on our children rather than unimportant things.
They should also work harder to get money spent on them, or better yet help them do a better job next time.
Congrats to the 2 Wyllis’ on their perfect 4 A’s
Keep up the good works. I’m very proud of you all,DeDe and Delmond
who is that hater? well well well go find something more important to do with those fingers or go read a book.

congrats ms moises of st martin primary thanks for your hard work and dedication with our daughters
strength while some of your comments are positive some are ridiculous i see nothing wrong with a parent visiting a teachers class as a caring parent its your duty to keep a good relationship with your childs teacher for your information some teachers do look at these things to see who really take interest in their children
Excuse me, I am not talking about concerned parents I am referring to those miserable parents who are bent on harassing teachers. Of course u must speak to a teacher in a civilised society, it is your duty as a parent. But some of those parents are miserable.
Congratulations to the top five!! Hats off to Pioneer Prep. Omondi McImtyre representing.
congratulations to the pupils of St. Johns school who did very well at this years exams. Kish kish i always knew that you could do it. Jellie ,Jamie , Tartiana and all the others hard work do pay off. Cyron you also did very well and you should also be proud. I am very proud of you all. To the teachers who worked with the students from grade k to grade six, you did well. Keep up the good work throughout high school.
To the students of the Paix-Bouche Government School Congratulations.

Children when you move to the next school remember the morals of your old schools and parents look at yourselves what have you been doing or not doing.Make a promise that you can keep
Okay, let’s understand this. If the Minister, as it is said, called and gave the top 3 places FROM THE NORTH, how can this be misconstrued that the results were tampered with thereafter? You mean we are so daft in our understanding or is that we are just working the rumour mill overtime? Stop it please.
Coming from NY, CONGRATULATIONS dear Selena!! Excellent, excellent, excellent! I know your entire family and I want to say well done to all especially your mom Pamela. You have great potentials to be anything you want to be young lady and the sky is your limit. Go and conquer.

THESE ARE NOT THE REAL 5 TOP STUDENTS IT IS JUST A FABRICATED LIST
reading these negative comments made me very sad. I can only imagine how broken the children who did not perform according to everybody’s expectations must feel. My dear children let me say to you that getting a scholarship, bursary or pass should not and i repeat should NOT set the path for your future. Hats off to all the great results,to those of you who did not do as well, this is just the beginning of a successful you. It does not mean this is your end but you are reminded to study hard and improve on your weaker subjects. Boys YOU ARE just as successful as the girls, you just need to apply yourselves. Just two years ago a boy proved the naysayers wrong when he obtaine 10 ones and 1 two. Parents please do not tear down your children and add salt to their wombs by calling them aweful names or treating them differently. They know they have disappointed you. My son is not the best but everyday i say to him, you are no different than that kid in your class who tops it every term. Death and life lies in the power of the tongue, speak LIFE over your children it will take them a long way
lol I thought the phrase was “add salt to a WOUND” and not “WOMB”. Just saying …….get ur ideas together well before u post.
Don’t be a hater. Your statement is meant to critise not correct. You can see is an error. Don’t hide behind the girl’s name of her vehicle. Get a life. She has one. Stop the jealousy
@ Go Away
Jealous of what? A person whom I don’t even know? Didn’t even knw the lady has a vehicle with the caption BLESSINGS. See how ppl like u give out too much info and create problems for others? U are just what is termed a “femme debah” nothing more. And why should God favor her more than me that I’m jealous? The Lord loves ALL his children equally. Are u serious? I pity u. You have no idea! It’s ppl like u who go to church and put on facades. It’s a mere correction my dear so don’t get all stupid and defensive. U need to humble and stop that follishness u are preaching. Get it together my dear.
Boy that must be painful. Salt in womb. How original. yes I
lol!!!
I say “Amen” to your great words of encouragement to ALL the young people. I cringe when I hear some parents call their children names. There are early bloomers and late bloomers. Some of the boys may just be late bloomers.
Thanks mrs.p!!!from e*****!!!lol
brarvo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!selena i am very happy for you
brarvo selena i am happy for you god bless
Venessa,
I must tell you that Portsmouth People always shine. May I remind you that the Present Chief Education Officer Steve Hyacinth is from Portsmouth. As the saying goes smoke does not go without fire. If they were informed that the students of the schools in Portsmouth topped the list who are you to say that since when Portsmouth children doing good like that. This isbnnot a awakening for the people of Portsmouth. We will always be who are and and no one can take that away from us. To the children of the Portsmouth St. John’s School and the Roosevelt Douglas Primary School who was successful in any way I say congratulations to you all and all the best in you all future endeavours. The rough road is ahead. Look up and all the best.
CONGRATULATIONS SELENE!! I got goose bumps when i got the good news- the sky is the limit you go girl!!!. Congratulations also to you Pamo you had a great part to play in achieving this outstanding result. Josette, Desire, Avonelle and Christine Selene Made you all proud- take a bow.
All the best, Love you all
St. Martin School representing for decades. I left in 1984 and that year with 50 students in my class we got 40 scholarships and 8 buseries. That recipe is solid. Other schhols need to get it. Congrats Mrs. Moreau. Keep up the good work.
I WONDER WHAT THE SCHOLARSHIPS amounted to in your lives the forty of you all. It will allways be like that Roseau getting what they did not work for. go on go on the sky is everybody limit but you all limit is just ministry
Yeah the “RECIPE” working indeed….hmmmm..must be the colonel’s secret recipe.
STRUPES!!!OH PLZ
Congrats to all these children! Convent Prep where you?!
congrats brandon on your scholarship and allysha,felicia and curwin on you all bursaries
COngratulations to my Dr. Irving McIntyre on your son’s achievement.
Omondi’s mom needs to be congratulated too!
hey my doctor son that did that ner . That doctor is a Gods sent blessed man this is why God has blessed him for his good and humble ways especially to the poor people a very humble man I LOVE YOU DOCTOR Mac. long life and more more more freaking LIFE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
They did not have to give bursaries or pass to that class they should just award her everything.
When they are done they should save thee rest for next year. But one of them good days whatever St.Martin school monte the Government and Ministry on it will come to light.
This time of life is too clear for people to believe those nonsense their about one clas being awarded all these scholarships and tightening their hands to other deserving schools. BRAVO bravo Miss.
“The biggest concern for me is the fact that we continue to see a low level of performance among a small segment of the boys – just about 10 per cent of our boys still obtain grades that are below average,” Minister St Jean said, describing it as a serious concern for his ministry.
Should we understand 90% of our boys obtain grades average and above average? Why,then, is that a big concern?
Congrats to Pioneer…First time in the top!! Way to go Omondi McIntyre.. Congrats also on being the only boy in the top!
For all that money the parents are paying they should top it every year!
I have no affiliations with this school however, let’s not focus too much on academics. As important as it is, we are to factor in creativity, language development, development of certain skills such as music etc and it’s importance in the integral well being of our children. Many who know better, who read more etc are now ensuring that their children get on board with the more balanced programmes. Let us observe the world around us: No longer will a long list of subjects get us through the interview. Think about
the creative spin. I applaud all these children who did well. Congratualtions. Now, let’s see how we can encourage them to live well balanced lives. Hats off to you all!
Congrats Selena!!!! we are proud of your achievement! God takes care of his children. Happy for mom and brother and we know that dad is taking care from Heaven.Good luck in years ahead. congrats to all other students..remember hard work just begin.
Only 95 scholarships and 126 bursaries making it look like the students did bad when is what government can afford that counts. The exams will only make sense when the scores are set.
I certainly agree with obsservant. the students fall short in most cases by 2 or even 1 points and miss a scholarship and then the system makes it look like they did poorly.
yes i omondi
At the end of the day where does all of these negative comments stands. People the children try their best the verdit has been read their is nothing that we can do or tell the children to change what they did. So now is the time to encourage them, let them know that they are stepping into a different stage of education or should i say climb a higher step in life so pull up their socks, dust theirself up and lets start over. MY DEAR CHILDREN YOU HAVE TRYED YOUR BEST BUT THERE STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT SO TAKE ALL THE ADVISE AND MAKE THE BETTER OUT OF IT. ALL THE BEST IN THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.
CORRECTION (their)THERE
congrats to st matin schoolyayyyye miss bonie. thats wat u call a teacher that push children. i hope by the time my girl reach grad six u still there. great job to the top girl. and kelma rolle, team work parents and teachers,job well done. hard work paid off.
No no no darling that is what you call a teacher that has people in HIGH HIGH HIGH places. I need her to give me that ladder let me climb my way to them
hey guys, forgetting one thing childern from the north did very well and its been awhile now we havent recieve this kind of results so congrats to my old school rdps.
nice job!!!!!
i want to know how u all know possie was on the top we need proof. show us the facts please
dont question us!
I meant to say earlier some of these parents try to buy teachers. I would also like to congratulate Mrs. Moreau as well. Despite the negative criticisms from some parents do not let this deter u. You are doing a wonderful job. My daughter is going to grade 6 this year. One thing I love about u Mrs. Moreau is your stickness. If it was not for u I dont know how those teachers would have handled those parents. Mrs. Moreau why dont St. Martin’s school parents leave your school yard on mornings. Mrs. Moreau u need to put down yr feet. I am a private sector employee and I have been noticing this for a while. This is ridiculous. The bell rings and they are still lingering in the school yard, I understood it is even worst in the small section. Why do these parents want to linger in the classrooms. If u want to see a teacher wait but dont go in the classrooms. U need to do something about this urgently. I understood this rarely happens in oher schools but in St, Martin schools these parents have a disease for just entering in teachers classes and going in childrens desk. if this is the case u need to speak to your teachers as a matter of urgency. I am hearing to much stories about some of those parents and it is shocking. Mrs. Moreau u are a great teacher and a great principal. Please keep your ears and eyes open for those dangerous parents outt there. Love u. If any one reads this email please bring it to the attention of Mrs. Moreau as a matter of urgency. Parents are afraid to talk but it is on the street. Love u.
Is true. There’s a set in small school whose kids will be going to big school in september, look out for them. They there from 7:15 am until about 9am and then from 12 to 1pm they there again.
Me self say they unemployed because I cannot understand it.
When they started locking the gates when the bell rang at 7:50. they would move to the wall and still stand there “watching over”. Before class done, they inside the class with 101 questions for the teacher and reading the board, and checking..
whooosh…competition tight…smh
so long that going on. That’s a long SMS tradition for them bammsie mothers that like debah to stay infront of the school or in it like they have stock. I guess in a way they do as their girls go to sms and are investments if you think about it. This has been going on since I went to SMS which is 1986.
Have no fear. Ma Moreau will handle that.
Mrs. Moreau is waiting for them she already knows.
These people are sick. Are they the only ones with children? lazy women go and find a job and give the teachers a chance to do what they are being paid to do!
What is wrong with the teachers? Dont they have control of their classes?
Mrs. Moreau dont make them bring u down. Investigate this urgently?
@ Anonymous..how u know that and u are “supposedly” employed. sound like u were once like them that’s how u would know.
@ Robin. You are so right. It’sworst now. Just pass in the morning to see the carnival out there? U mean DA have so many unemployed people? Why dont they home-school there children. I thought something was wrong in Virin Lane by small school, they tell me parents that gather there like that. Ma Moreau tie yr waist for September!
is so St. Martimn School come. I have never heard of this. What is really going on? What i have to watch my child she is going to grade 2 this year. What thanks for the info. I dont really go to the school my husband does but I have to be on guard, parents in desk what !
is true these parents make me sick. Mrs. Moreau please look out for a small group who are entering big school in September. U might have to get SSU to place at the gates. These lazy women just stay and hang out in the streets outside the small school for hours. This is ridiculous. Miss Anita Williams is trying her best but trust me it is not easy on her. Miss Moreau I know u are a woman of standards have a great summer and tie for waist for those to come in September because those parasites are not easy. They harass teachers all day, they want to enter the classroom as they see fit, please teachers of the big section of St. Martin school look out for them in September, they are coming. One teacher in small school told me all her years in small school she has never experienced that. trust me tie all u waist. they are coming. Mrs. Moreau be prepared for enemies. Love u guys keeo up the good works. Dont let them come in the classrooms some of them have dirty hands and u dont know what they are up to!!!!!
Dont worry Mrs. Moreau will fix them up. Do not underestimate Ms. Moreau. This woman is a woman of class and she will deal with them. There was a set from grade 2 last year who are now in a particular grade 3 who was trying the same . These women would actually just walk in the classroom. Mrs. Moreau put a stop to that. Now they can die. Some of these people cannot be trusted! Why would a parent always want to enter a particular classroom everyday? Dont they have work to do at their homes. These people make me sick. Have no fear parent Ma. Moreau will fix them up in September. Just pray for your child and leave everything up to God. I dont go to the school except for school meetings but I keep hearing that same story. Ma Moreau please fix that up and get those lazy women out of the school yard. Love u.
I heard this but I could not believe it. I am a registered nurse at the Princess Margaret Hospital. I dont have the time to come and stand up in St. Martin School like a statue when I have patients to take care of. I hope for the sake of God this is not true. If any mother goes in my childs desk and the teacher sits in the classroom and does nothing somebody will be in trouble with me. What nonesense is this? Where are the teachers? Ms. Moreau I love u as a Principal for the great job u are doing. I am not happy with what I am hearing. U have to speak to those teachers urgently and stop that nonsense if this is true. This is not the first time I am hearing that children book are missing. Some of these parents are pretending to be going to the classrooms under false pretense and taking children books. Plese teachers of St. Martin Schhol I love u guys plese be careful with those parents in the classrooms. This is frightening.
spend some time reading a book and stop those negative comments on dno. {Persons all over the world are reading your shit. Instead of bringing this to dno why not speak to the princpal or teachers. Teachers at Saint Martin’s School are very nice just speak to them they will listen and stop that nonsense on DNO.
you want someone else to take it to her but at the same time you could do the same, why dont you address her yourself it is something to be concern about so do not be afraid sit and talk to her the one who carries the message might not relate it the way you would like it too
this is a lie. i am in the school everyday. the bell rings at 7:50 a.m., parents leave and the both gates are locked. When u come at 1pm u have to wait for the gates to be opened.
All u jealous because we get all the scholarships.
Stop the hatred and lies
come better than that my lady. there are no parents in any classroom at the big section of the school. if u see a few parents in the yard watchin over their children what is worng with this. you know nothin that is happen at the school and why these parents are there so mind ure business or get your facts straight. if u have an issue with someone personaly do not bring the school in it. right know is the children time to shine and you bringin up old story. there might have been an issue in small school but as u can see that problem was solved. i do infact help my daughter’s teacher to clean because the children are to small but is that a problem . no. i dont think so and i have no problem in takin half an hour to help someone clean no matter what grade level. some dominican are never positive all u must put negative to good. known your facts befor comentin.
happy for u, i hope is clean u cleaning!!!
I dont understand u woman. so people cannot express themselves. all u bold. some of u have nothing to do except stay by the school, some of us are bankers, clerks, government emplohyees who dont have as much time as u free-up people. Cant we express ourselves. I have no fear. Mrs. Moreau is Principal of St. Martin School. The greatest principal of time so I have no fear. All u fraid in all u tail. All u wait outside the classroom. Give the teachers a break to do their work.
The results were released on Monday. Whatever was heard in Portsmouth last week were simply rumours.
Deal with it!
why you doh go and hide somewhere! i hope u handling your issues! -.-
I must take this time to congratulate you Selena…..Pamo I knew you used to push her to her limits and it did pay off. Hats off to you my girl…….I am proud of the both of you especially you Selen. Job well done. Keep reaching for the skies.
My child is in grade 4 to more years to go please leave Miss Bonnie where she is and please dont think of changing here. This woman is a gem she is just good. One thing I love about this woman is the fact that she has no preference for no mother and child she treats every child as the same. I am a parent who has been observing this lady for a while. One other thing I love about this teacher no parents enters her classrom. Miss Bonnie I love this about u. Let them wait outside, some of these parents try their best to buy parents so they can get favour. Miss Bonnie u are the best keep up the Good work. Hearts of to Mrs. Moreau as well.
Congrats……to the staff of the St.Martin Primary School for their hard especially The Principal Mrs, Muroe for maintaining the high levels of consistences in the running of the school. Most primary school children are failing because of ineffective principals compounded by ineffective education officers especially those officers who have obtined their positions because they are supporters of the labour party
Congrats Dr. Mac n family!

congrats to everybody that did well. however people working at the ministry of education are too byass. this was injustice to the students of portsmouth as the top 5 students were originally from portsmouth before the results were tampered with. what a damn shame on people in high positions
BUT ANONY HOW YOU KNOW THAT? YOU CORRECT THE PAPERS MAN ALLU COUNTRY PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE A TORY
who you calling country people?! hmmph bodia my grl i hope i dont know you! go and bave in twn dirty drain yer grl!
Can someone please explain to me why is it that people from the north are alleging the results were in their favour earlier this morning? Where did they receive this news? Was it the radio, Ministry of Education?, word of mouth? or where??? thanks.
People from Portsmouth know what they are talking about and keep all you island scholar we already have ours. You all tooooo byasss the result was tampered with and you all know that. Hyacinth knows it, Guiste knows it Ministry workers know it and so does the Government.
But we are not suprise Roseau referees, Roseau parl rep and Roseau workers in charge of competitions know that
Stop being byass darling
lets go selena and sierra
Congrats Selene………..we are proud of you in Mahaut!!!!! Keep reaching for the stars….
I’d Like to congrat all my friends at St.John’s School.

Congrats everyone especially ke kee was expected..
SELENA AND SIERRA!!! ST.MARTIN GO GIRLS GO… CONRATULATIONS I KNOW YOU GUYS WERE GONNA SHINE… CONTRATS TO ALL THE REST AS WELL. HARD WORK PAYS OFF… AN I MUST SAY GOOD FAMILY/PERENTAL SUPPORT PLAYS A VITAL ROLL IN THE SUCCESS OF A CHILD..
at G…boys are not disgusting……my boy got a scholarship…u can’t expect the students to learn only when they go to school. parents need to play their part. Instead of bringing them down….teach them how to rise!!!
The boys have no one to blame but themselves and their parents in our society.
Can you imagine I’m a student of U.W.I and for all my law classes I did so far, not ONE MALE in my class. I’m forever surrounded by women.
The recipe that works for me is simple. I just LOVE TO READ. I’m always reading as if it’s a hobby.
If our young men are going to be on equal footing with our women at least, they have to apply themselves and read more. They need to stop wasting time on block with this mentality that reading is for nerds or men can only do skills and reading is for girls. All this is mythical nonsense.
It is not slavery because our boys used to outdo women in Mathematics for e.g. In my days for common entrance we dominated the scholarship list. In my time going to school, months before exams a group of young men used to stay at school night time, bring hot bread and crest cheese and push some serious work in our Biology, Physics and Chemistry.
what is the difference between Portsmouth and Roseau is not still Dominica na!!!! allu doing like is another country we fighting with.
i pray to d lord dat by d time u all graduate,some good govt will b dere to provide jobs 4 allu bcuz tons of others are dere watchin their mummy n daddy in eyes.
this is abit funny lol..”others dere watching there mommy and daddy in eyes” lol..but on a serious note i get your point

WHERE YOU GET THAT? THE NORTH ALREADY GOVERNING THE COUNTRY ALLU WANT TO INFLUENCE THAT LITTLE SCHOOL EXAM RESULTS TOO?
BECAUSE WE’RE THE BEST
That’ because the brain is in the head and the head of the country is in the north. (Like it or not we run things)
Well south always have a ting against North . They know the potentials. You can’t keep a good man down . Let’s see 5 years down the line eh.
oooh now look the real results!!!! and thats why they vexxxx!!!!
congratsssssssssssssssssssss. my old school really continued.. and i know people are vex because they say we have more vary , but instead of checkin us , ceck all u self because we know our work!!
lmao! know what work?! not because results were fixed all kno allu work! TRY AGAiN!
what a few teachers have to do with the poor performance of the boys and the education officers. When things go bad they always looking for a scapegoat. Tell the minister of education he need to pull up his sock more than the teachers and the officers, those lazy and unqualified minister they have in cabinet is that they have to look after. What is the salary of a teacher who works so hard, and you still want to put blame on teachers.People must look for politician who are well educated to run the country than they coming and talk crape in people head.
Amen to that.. They hardly give de teachers ne additional material. You have to buy rewards,Manila paper etc yet they want teachers to work magic.
I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF THIS YOUNG LADY!!!! GOOD GOING SELENA!!! Your entire family is in praise right now! THAT’s A SPLENDID JOB WELL DONE!!!!!! CONGRATS COMING FROM EVERYONE
Congrats Sisi. We are all so proud of you. Keep on exceeding expectations and excelling in all your endeavors. The sky’s the limit!!!
congrats to all
Suprised? no i’m not…allu take a week to fix allu results. All last week the school got informed their child come out first..but is because is Possie. SMH God don’t like ugly!
well first of all, you shouldn’t have had any result since last week. So already you starting from a flawed basis.
All you people too gullible believing everything that is poured down your throats from whatever source.
shut up! results alwaysz leak ! because is possie dat take the top spots allu vex! dat y u maddd?
You all insist on destroying your children with this nonsense. The ministry has listed the top 5 not First to fifth but you all insist on making it into something it’s not. Please don’t spoil the children with this just congratulate them and move on
ON FRIDAY, IT WAS OUT THAT THE TOP THREE CAME FROM POSSIE, SO HYM, BUT BY MONDAY STORY CHANGE, EH EH PEOPLE SEE IT
we will congratulate who deserves it and worked for it!!!! and we will say congratulations to THE CHILDREN FROM THE NORTH!!!!!!!!! we all know the results were fixed!!!!!! so zip ittt!
Something leaked out. There is no smoke without fire. A is 120+ so how far does the range go? What is the difference in the scores? Four *A*s well God is in control.
Congratulations to Mrs. Bonnie, I knew u had it in you. Amongst all the challenges and dislike you went u the still prove ur haterz wrong. Remember wat i told u wen you taught my daughter last year and she got a bursery. I told u that just the begining. Good Luck again and to all the student well done. St. Martin School congratulations.
CONGRATS
The Education officials need to get the recipe from St. Martin School. They are certainly doing everything right.
One Class got 28 Scholarships,3 Bursaries and 1 Pass.
Well done teacher and girls.
????what is your point?
THE POINT IS ST MARTIN SCHOOL HAS BEEN TOPPING THE EXAMS FOR DECADES!!!!!
The point speaks for itself. The statistics tell a lot! Stop hating!
ikr wats the pointtt!!!!!!!!! let fixed results make them happy! hahaha smhh
I agree they got 28 scholarships but dont try to let the other schools look bad, check the statistics the number of students the number of scholarships and bursaries compare to the other schools and work the percentages
DNO can you let us know the names in the order that the children placed?
ADMIN: Read the story. The names are in order they were placed.
I want a teaching job
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
that is not true u must stop say what u want
This statement is out of place. When you are making your statement you must not generalize.
well de minister take a leaf from skerro’s book; but what he saying is true wii!
Congratulations and good luck to them all!!
yes St. Martin School my old almer matar i love my school

Off course SMS dominate that’s we do. I love the blue and white!
hahaha! where???!!!! *looks around* ahahaha
**Looking into it**
Yes Mr. Minister,
There are many things to look into! Girls/women are often UNDERESTIMATED!
By the way…..
How is your little “gay students” investigation coming on nuh?
I think we’re soon due for an update….. are we not? ;-)
[Sorry but that was just too funny!! I just had to bring that up!] ;-)
sadly, you are the only one laughing..J A!
You all are just missing the point. Do you really think I’m asking the minister to “look into it”?
This was just being sacarsm.
But I would really like an update on ridiculous investigation the Mr. requested on gay students.
After they did all their bobol they coming out with their own results. Portsmouth got the 3 top positions now is another story. Matt Show tomorrow bright and early.
Go on Matt show and make yourself look stupid!
Matt show bright and early hahaha…. GO ST. MARTIN PRIMARY!!!!!!!
Congratulations Selena! I am very proud of you. Great news for your mum too!
Yes sah Ministry of Education, all you will stop playing with the results one of those days. SMDH
you see how alu bias, say is the portsmouth chile that comout first, alu putting it as though she comout fifth… is topped the list!!
Portsmouth people always getting some reason to think they’ve been wronged! get over yourselves! jeez!
Shut up. The education minister called the portsmouth government school to give them the 3 top positions which came from the north, all of a sudden results change.
J I think it may have been a misunderstanding, the minister called with the top results for the north! when we all know they have a problem with the English , he should have spoken in creole or whatever is the lingo.TELL ME SINCE WHEN PORTSMOUTH CHILDREN DOING GOOD LIKE THAT?
SORRY THE PUT DE BREAKS ON ALLU AND ALLU ATTITUDE ….WHAT A RUDE AWAKENING!!!
J…someone said on FB it was the CEO who called. Get the story straight. Rumours Rumours Jesus Christ!
to vanessa hold ur brakes and let de child get his praise
