May 18, 2015 St. Nicholas Uganda Children’s Fund Email Newsletter Outstanding Results In this issue: Outstanding Results Student of the Month Presentations Amazon Smile Every year in November, Uganda’s Senior 6 students sit for the National Leaving Exams (A Level). The results of these tests are the primary criteria for determining admission to university. In 2014, all eleven of our S.6 students performed well enough to qualify. This is the first year we’ve had 100% of our S.6 students achieve at this level. They will be pursuing a variety of courses, including Economics, Engineering, Medicine, Journalism, Business Administration, Social Work, Marketing, and Tourism. They’re getting a great opportunity and they earned it! Student of the Month Emilianos joined our program ten years ago in Primary 3 (3rd grade). A total orphan and abandoned by his family, he’s ranked first in his class in every term of every school year from Primary 3 through Senior 4. He is now in Senior 5 (A Level) at Mengo Senior School studying Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. On the national leaving exams for O Level, his overall results were among the best, and he was the top scoring student in Chemistry in the region. When he represented his school in an inter-school science competition, the other head teachers accused the school of putting one of their science teachers in a school uniform.
