What I think Of The 1998 World Book CD-ROM  

By Myra Julie (S5)

The World Book is an encyclopedia which consists of many information books. It is availaible on a CD ROM.

Today the World Bookone is one of  fastest method of obtaining information around the entire world . Its purpose  is providing students with  a large quantity of infomation.  .I have discovered that the World Book is an invaluable tool for History  and Geography. In these two subjects,  the World Book contains as much information needed especially in History where detail and precise fact is needed in order to produce a good essay.

It must be said that not all students are making full use of the World Book. For them, I would think that obtaining information has been  much harduos.

To conclude I would like to congratulate those who have been using the world book. Keep on venturing through it as its borders are infinitive. As for those who have not yet experienced the sheer joy of exploring such resource, it is a tool worth haviung and exploiting to the full. Thus take the opportunity now and see for yourself the treasure it contains.

S5 BVS students selected for O-levels

For the first time in the history of Education in the Seychelles   Secondary school students are sitting O-level exams for a number of subjects. These are English, French, Mathematics, History, Geography, Biology. Chemistry, Physics, Combine Science and Art. After siiting a selection test ealier this year the best students were thus selected to follow the O level program and thus sit the exam.

Being a quite challenging course, O level has forced the S5 students to get down to some real studying and a taste to developing an inedependent approach towards school work, despite the fact that they had no previous personal studying skills. The teachers  also found such activity to be a challenge.

The awaiting results will tell how good a go they had at it.

Should you decide to take a look at the BVS Millenium Site Achievements Page you shall be surprised that one student appears there five or six times, achieving excellence even in an international competition.  The question of which the anwers would be greatly useful for prospective followers is "How does she do that?!" .   Marie Michelle Pragassen is a fourteen year old student who lives at  Mare Anglaise.  She is in S3H1 and is   currently among the best in her level in almost all  academic subjects . and still Marie Michelle finds time to involve in other extra curricular activities.

Being a deligent member of the IT Club, Marie Michelle has been out and about finding the desired information from either people, books or even the internet.

Marie Michelle is a pleasant and devoted student with a good sense of humour under her skin. She always gives her best and takes every difficult situation as a personal challenge.

We would like to wish Marie Michelle all the best for the future and encourage her to keep on th good fight.

Three cheers to you Marie Michelle!!!
