WESLEY HALL JUNIOR SCHOOL is ready for next week’s Barbados Secondary Schools’ Entrance Examination.
Principal Maureen Reid declared this yesterday, saying the students had completed two simulation examinations and done a lot of practice papers, so she thought they were ready.
“We are hoping to best last year’s results. We had a fair average but we are hoping to improve,” she said.
Reid, was speaking after a visit by Member of Parliament for the City Patrick Todd. He was there to give the students a pep talk in preparation for the exam.
“You are the adults of tomorrow so do not engage in criminal behavior or Barbados will be doomed,” he told the children, adding the examination was nothing to be anxious about.
“Regardless of which school you are assigned, all of the secondary schools in Barbados have similarly well qualified teachers so have high self-esteem because there will be no failures come Tuesday,” Todd said.
