 The much awaited result for the first semester of the 2011/2012 session was published on the school notice board and students were all over the campus jubilating, crying, celebrating, brooding, complaining, commending or condemning the result.

Students that prepared and performed well in the exam expressed their relief seeing the outcome of their effort while others that were did not meet up to expectation confessed their unserious attitude towards the just concluded or that they did not prepare well for it as they were still new in the system;as in the case of National Diploma One Students(ND1).

The result that was pasted rather too late was being condemned by students, saying that that the delay in publishing is not fair on the part of the school authority as students that failed in the last examination would not know how well to buckle up their belt in preparation for the upcoming exam. Also failure in the past exam can cause a lot of set back in preparing for the next exam as the student may be depressed, disturbed or weighed down and all this can affect proper preparation for the following examination.

Speaking with Blessing, an ND1 student  she expressed her satisfaction on the result but said she hope to do better in the forth coming test.  

Also Diana James, an ND2 student said her result was in tandem with her effort, so she is happy about it.

On the other hand, Chinma, an ND1student told herryScope that she is grateful to God for

 the result although she has a Carry-Over, she is not bothered as that will make her sit-up and become better in the forth coming examination. 

However, Students appeal to the school Authorities to endeavor to ensure quick publishing of  Examination Results.
