100% Saints’ Students Win Seven or More CSEC Subjects, College Keeps Top Spot in Eighteen
Subjects at CSEC in 2019
GEORGETOWN, DATE OF RELEASE. Saint Stanislaus’ College continues its quiet march at the top of
student performance in 2019, with all eighty-three students on the Saints Team who wrote the 2019
CSEC Exams, obtaining Grades 1-3 passes in seven or more subjects. Remarkably, every student
obtained a high performance pass in Math and English. Of the 27 subjects offered, the school
obtained 100% Grades 1-3 passes in Maths, English and sixteen other subjects. The School obtained
a Grade 1-2 pass rate of 94% Maths and 99% in English, with the remainder of students all obtaining
Grade 3’s.
In expressing his congratulations, College Board Chair Mr Chris Fernandes said, “In keeping with our
College Motto, Aeterna Non Caduca – Not for this Life Only but for Eternity, no child has been left
behind. At Saints, we work together as a team to make Saints a top-class contributor to a good and
sustainable future for Guyana.”
The College focusses on supporting Guyana’s youth to become well-rounded citizens with a strong
sense of values and leadership for their community. In 2014, the College introduced its Back to
Basics programme that concentrates on student quality and based on the belief that every student
has a right to the opportunity to succeed. The programme rests on the principle of giving each
student a strong foundation in the core elements of a rounded education and is geared towards
providing students with the knowledge, skills and competencies to pursue further education in a
range of disciplines and with the ability to make positive contributions to the sustainable
development to Guyana.
“We have done it again,” said Saints Principal Fazia Baksh. “with the dedicated and hard-working
staff, and the commitment of parents, the Board, the Alumni Associations, and especially the
children, we have incomparable results. I’m particularly pleased that we obtained a 100% pass rate
in Maths, where the national and regional average was below 50%. We want to recognize the
highflyers, and we want to recognize the performance of the entire cohort of students. It speaks to
our commitment to the Team.”
Saints also had a stellar year at the CAPE Examination, with Grades 1-3 pass rate average of 98%, in
nine subjects, including 100% passes in Biology, Caribbean Studies, Environmental Science,
Geography, Management of Business, and Physics. 95% or more students obtained passes in
Chemistry, Communication Studies and Pure Mathematics.
The College would like to highlight the critical involvement of parents or guardians and the
invaluable benefits that are achieved when partnerships are formed between parents and staff.
The Board of the College, the Parent Teachers Association, the Alumni Associations and the
Administration wish to congratulate the students, parents and teachers for their outstanding
achievement and looks forward to their commitment to even more success.
And Saints goes marching on.
