| 89 out to ‘reclaim’ Green Acres’ lost crown By Staff Reporter The regional academic best performer when it comes to Class Seven National Examinations is back with a new batch of graduates. The Sekei-based, Green Acres English Medium Primary School may not be topping the list as it has been doing a few years back, but the school continues to record the usual 100 percent overall student pass. Green Acres new 89 graduates held their outgoing party last weekend amidst the usual celebrations and pandemonium, with both the school’s recreational hall and grounds being packed up to overflow with, parents, relatives, visitors and other curious on-lookers. Halima Mamuya, the National Secretary for the Union of Women in Tanzania (UWT) was the guest of honor. The school has been clinching the regional first position for fours years consecutively from 2000 to 2004 with outstanding results being recorded in the 2003 results for 2002 exams, when Green Acres with its 50 candidates, not only led the region academically, but also anchored at the respectable 3rd position nationwide, beating over 11,000 schools in the country. The 2004 exams whose results came out last year, saw the top slot going to Trust St. Patrick of Sakina while for the last year’s exams, whose results went public early this year, the St. Margaret Primary of Kisongo took the regional academic helm. The three competing schools are all located in the Arumeru District. Last year’s results pitched Green Acres in the 3rd position regionally and on the 19th position countrywide. However, all the 90 class seven candidates from the school passed the exams as did their predecessors in the previous years and all were enrolled in government schools. School Headmaster, Solomon Ngalesoni credit the best results to good cooperation between Green Acres’ management, teaching staff and parents, citing that the school which was established in 1993 with a single classroom has grown into a complex of 22 classrooms, in double storey structures, computer lab, conference hall, staff offices, dining hall and a warehouse.
