Outstanding IGCSE, AS results from Lodge International School
KUCHING: Lodge International School obtained outstanding results for the October/November 2017 Cambridge IGCSE and AS Level examinations.
The IGCSE cohort maintained the school’s record of excellence, with 50 per cent A*/A results across the board and close to 30 per cent straight A*/A students, while the AS Level cohort broke school records with over one third of students achieving straight As, a feat that has not been seen since 2006.
A publicity release yesterday revealed that two thirds of the Core Science students ( Physics, Biology, Chemistry) achieved A*/ A, while ICT ( Information and Communications Technology) candidates excelled with 83 per cent scoring A*/A.
The school’s largest cohort of First Language English students also did exceptionally well with 70 per cent achieving A*/A, which was a testament to the ability of the students in mastering language at a native level of fluency.
Other subjects showed marked improvement with over 40 per cent of students achieving A*/A in Art & Design, Economics and Additional Mathematics.
Over 50 per cent of students in Science subjects ( Biology, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology) attained As, and the Humanities showed remarkable improvement with close to one third of students achieving As, while subjects such as English Language, Psychology and History saw a three-fold increase in A students.
Sia Jia Jhing (Head Girl for 2017) and Lau King Ying scored 100 marks in the IGCSE Mathematics exam, and both are all-rounders.
Principal Matthew Wee expressed his pride: “Our students’ results are testaments to the hard work that they and our teachers have put in.
“Not only have they performed well academically, they are allrounders who are dedicated in co- curricular activities. I would like to thank the parents for their support and trust in Lodge International School, and I wish the students all the best in their future endeavours.”
Straight A* student Samantha Chung, who is a current A Level student and a bouldering enthusiast, said: “It was challenging to balance schoolwork with other responsibilities, but I had invaluable support from my classmates and teachers, and I’m really happy with my results.”
