TELESCOPE, St. Andrew’s – The St. Andrew’s
Anglican Secondary School (SAASS) has
(once again) performed with merit at
the recently concluded National Science Fair.
The school was adjudged the over-all
champion in the Upper Secondary School
division, taking first place in two
categories and third place in four
categories- the best performance by
any school on the island.

At the district level of the competition
(held at SAASS on October 17,2006),
SAASS captured four first places – in
Computer Science, Environmental Science,
Home Economics and Physics – and two
second places – in Agricultural Science and Chemistry. In recognition of this
remarkable accomplishment, the school
collected four 1st place trophies,
4 gold medals, 2 silver medals, 2 plaques
(one for most projects submitted for
a school and the other for the over-all
Upper Secondary School winner. All
six projects were selected to move
on to the next round of competition – the
National round.
