THE FINAL MONTH OF GRADE 9!

Mang's message: You are finally near the end of your Junior High School education! Finish off strong! Remember if your mark falls below 60% in Science, your High School might change your Science program for the 2009/2010 school year. This means you must study hard for your Provincial Achievement Test. Be sure to utilize the online resources (see below) as a part of your studying. It has been a pleasure working with each and everyone one of you. It is my hope that you will take skills developed and knowledge gained from Grade 9 Science, into your high school programs, making positive contributions to your new school. Each and everyone one of you is capable in life and if you put effort into your own development (at school for example), you will one day be a success full adult; and you might even thank me for encouraging you to invest in your future by taking schooling seriously. Good luck!
