Due to the reasons that the results for the first term examination wasn’t ideal and also, most of SPN21 syllabuses is in English, R.E.A.D Programme was introduced to enhance students’ learning.
It was launched on 1st April 2010 with a budget of B$ 300.00 and another allocation of B$ 700 ~ $ 1,000 for prizes in the future. It is carried out 30 minutes a week on either Saturday or any selected days and during English periods.
To date, R.E.A.D programme has shown significant result in terms of students’ result during the Mid-Term examination and our school will continue in implementing, evaluate and amend if necessary.
