SMALHB Acting Principal Ustazah Hajah Hamdiah binti Haji Salleh shared this during the school’s 28th Hafl Al-Takharruj at the Main Conference Hall of the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Berakas yesterday.
She also shared that last year marked the first time the school joined other sixth form centres in the Sultanate in adopting the School Assessed Grades (SAG) in the BCGCE ‘A’ Level.
“The school recorded a 100-per-cent passing rate with 96 students scoring at least two ‘A’s and 92 students or 95.83 per cent scored three ‘A’s,” she said.
The acting principal congratulated the recipients; as well as parents and guardians, for ensuring that the students attended the physical and online learning, facilitating them with their necessities and ensuring that the students were not left behind in their studies.
She also conveyed her gratitude to the teachers who have worked hard to educate the students.
