Good luck to our matrics
It is that time of the year again and I am sure nails are being bitten, hair are standing on end (in the case of parents and teachers), candles are being burnt on both ends and nerve endings are fragile.
But don’t worry- focus and fly!!!!
Here is the exam timetable so that we can keep track of who is having nervous breakdowns!!!
