The Gera School (TGS), regarded as one of the premier educational institutions in Goa, has announced their 100% pass record in the IGCSE March 2024 examinations for the second year in a row. Steadfast in its commitment to delivering top-tier education and nurturing the unique potential of each student, The Gera School stands as a shining example of academic excellence.
What is special is that all of the second batch of students also received the coveted ICE award.
Two students, Keith Alemao and Anay Pawar passed with distinctions, and four of the others attained Merits. In the 56 subject grades awarded, the School got 19 ‘A*’ and ‘A’ grades, and 20 ‘B’ Grades.
Sharing his thoughts, Keith Alemao, who was also the School Head Boy said, “The curriculum encourages cognitive thinking skills, enabling one to effectively solve real-world problems. It enables students to think analytically, critically and creatively, and equips students with skills and knowledge needed for success in an increasingly interconnected world.”
Anay Pawar said, “I crafted a detailed study plan, practising rigorously with past papers, and leveraging teacher support. Disciplined effort helped me reach my predetermined goals.”
When asked how they achieved such good results, the Head Girl, Natalie Moreira, said, “I attribute my good results to the support and encouragement of my teachers along with rigorous practice and dedication.”
The unwavering efforts of the Principal, Mr. Carol Joseph, the IGCSE Coordinator, Ms. Deidre Gokhale, and the team of teachers, together with the resolve and persistence of the students brought in the laudable performances.
Speaking about the achievement, Mr. Joseph said, “The team of teachers led by Ms. Deidre Gokhale has done very well. But it takes a village to raise a child. I congratulate parents, all other Faculty, Admin Staff, and ancillary staff for their contribution to making our students confident learners who could devote their energies to studies, and be imbued with the belief that they could keep getting better. All of them had come to TGS from non-Cambridge curriculum backgrounds. The team has worked marvellously well, and we are delighted with this achievement! We will keep raising the bar, and get better each year. Of that, we are confident.”
Mr. Rohit Gera, Managing Director of Gera Developments, and Chairman of the Advisory Committee of The Gera School expressed his pleasure by saying, “Congratulations to the students of The Gera School for having brought home outstanding results for the second consecutive year. This has been made possibly only by the efforts, passion, and dedication of our Coordinators and teachers, along with the leadership of Principal Joseph. We wish all our students a bright future ahead.”
