2014 was a big year for our Form 4 students. They spent it applying themselves to studies that ranged from history to chemistry to biology. Our students began the New Year with feelings of anticipation as they eagerly awaited their exam results to see if all of their hard work paid off. Finally, the results are here! And happily, the answer is a resounding “yes”!

Overall our 126 Form 4 students received stellar results, placing St Jude’s 3rd in the region and 24th in all of Tanzania. Over half of the students achieved a Distinction, the highest possible grade, and 99% of the class achieved a Merit (the second highest grade) or above.

The results indicate our students show particular aptitude for communication, with the class ranking 2nd in the region for Kiswahili. They are also budding scientists and historians, achieving a regional ranking of 2nd in Biology and 3rd in History.

These results are fantastic for all of our students and their teachers who have worked so hard to guide each of them throughout the year. The students are very proud of their achievements, deservedly so, and begin Form 5 with a renewed confidence and excitement for the year ahead.
