Scotiabank Goes – GoGSAT
Scotiabank is partnering with GoGSAT.com to extend this programme to an additional twenty-five schools at the primary level.
Scotiabank will mark its support of the programme with a special demonstration for students and teachers at the Iris Gelley Primary School in Kingston today. The GoGSAT programme will give students access to a database of over six thousand practice questions covering all the focal areas of the Grade Six Achievement Test. The programme also offers a simulated test environment inclusive of timed testing and automatic grading; and enables parents and teachers to keep track of student performance.
According to Mrs. Joylene Griffiths Irving – Director, Public, Corporate and Government Affairs, Scotiabank, the GoGSAT programme offers another opportunity to enhance Scotiabank’s support to primary education. “We have selected schools based on their inability to afford the programme as well as to enhance our on going relationship with the institutions. For example, some of these schools are beneficiaries of scholarships, computer equipment, or are participants in our Breakfast Feeding Programme or our HIV and AIDS awareness programme.”
Mrs. Shalette East who heads the GoGSAT programme says Scotiabank’s support brings the number of schools using the programme to seventy. “With this programme, students have access to comprehensive information in one place. After taking tests, there is a live marker that scores the tests almost immediately, giving the results. In cases of incorrect answers, students can view the correct response,”
The Scotiabank sponsored schools to benefit from this programme are:
Water Valley Primary, St. Mary, Santa Cruz Primary, St. Elizabeth, Iris Gelly Primary, Kingston, Mt Angus Primary, St. Mary, Holy Family Primary & Infant School, St. Peter Claver Primary, Homestead Primary, Galina Primary, Retreat Primary, St. Mary, Norwich Primary, Drapers All Age, Bamboo Primary, Marlie Mount Primary, St. Richards, St. Aloysius Primary, Flankers Primary and Junior High, St. Johns Primary, Central Branch All Age Cockburn Gardens Primary and Junior High, Tredegar Park All Age, Queens Prep, Alphs Primary, Alvernia Preparatory, St. Paul’s primary, and Victoria All Age.
