Catholic Students Excell


The Northwest Catholic District School Board says its students continue to shine in their writing of provincial tests.

Education Director Mary-Catherine Kelly says the results from the April tests continue to show significant improvements.

"Our grade threes have seen an increases of eight per cent in reading, ten per cent in writing and they've remained level in mathematics," says Kelly. "In grade six , we've seen increases by four per cent in reading, ten per cent in writing and a minimal decrease of two per cent in mathematics."

Kelly says high marks were recorded at all schools, including Our Lady of the Way in Stratton where 91 per cent of grade three students exceeded the provincial standard for math.
