PEP Moments at Jessie Ripoll

26/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Tuesday February 26, 2019 marks an historical moment in the nation's history, as over forty thousand Grade Six students in the Primary School system will sit the Ability Test component of the Primary Exit Profile (PEP). The Ability Test comprises verbal and quantitative reasoning. The Primary Exit Profile replaces the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT).

At the Jessie Ripoll Primary School an air of anxiety existed among some parents while the students appeared very calm and confident in the assurance that they were well prepared.

The students along with the parents in attendance sang inspirational choruses led by Principal Mr. O'neil Stevens. Mr. Stevens also had an inspiring "pep" talk with the students and a word of prayer to strengthen their resolve in tackling the task at hand. Some highlights are captured below.
