THE Jerudong International School (JIS) students are celebrating another set of outstanding GCE ‘A’ Level results.
At the A2 Level, just under 10 per cent of the grades awarded to the school’s Year 13 students were top A* grades. In a year when the award of these grades has fallen across schools taking GCE ‘A’ Levels, JIS students achieved an outstanding A* or A grade in 30 per cent of all the grades awarded, while an impressive 60 per cent of all grades were A*, A or B (generally regarded as the minimum level required for entry into a leading UK university).
The corresponding A* – B figures for all UK schools is 52.8 per cent, showing that JIS students are outperforming the statistics for UK schools, said a press release.
A very large number of students received straight A* or A grades. A remarkable 14 students in Year 13 achieved either 3, 4 or 5 A*/A grades at the A2 Level.
A Ministry of Education (MoE) Scholarship student, Maisarah Malik, achieved 5 A*/A grades. Hafizah Azhar, Nadiah Hamid, Nirmal Jayakrishnan, Jun Wei Kuan, David Lim, Ashraf Marasharin (also a MoE Scholarship student), Umi Sazali and Nicole Tay all achieved 4 A*/A grades.

Meanwhile, Sidharth Ambady, Honn Wee Son, Rajvir Jutla, Jasmin Thien and Hanson Ting all achieved 3 A*/A grades. Jasmin’s grades are all the more inspiring as she has achieved these grades in spite of being blind.
Furthermore, a vast majority of the students met or exceeded their predicted grades that JIS generates based on ability. At the AS Level, a similar pattern was seen with the majority of Year 12 students performing above expectations.
A further 16 students achieved 3 or more A grades. Nine students achieved 3 A’s – Ruzana Adnan, Shaffena Affendy, Sheanne Ang, Ling Chua, Syuhada Ishak, Nathan Kok, Mus Mahleyuddin, Zul Mahri and Wafid Sophian.
Adrian Azaharaini, Haeram Jalees, Zakirah Syajirah Rahman and Sanjana Thota all achieved 4 A’s. John Fung, Brandon Lim and Calvin Newn achieved remarkable 5 A grades.
