Sevaun's Diary

In June, 11-year-old Sevaun McKenzie was selected for the 2018 Gleaner Editors' Scholarship after scoring a 91 per cent average and being placed at Kingston College (KC), his first choice.

Sevaun has now started classes, and as part of efforts to help students make the transition from the primary level to the secondary level, The Gleaner will be sharing his trek through the first week at KC in his own words.

Thursday, September 6 - Day 2

On Thursday, our form teacher came and told us to introduce ourselves and get to know each other. She also announced some class rules that we must follow.

After our form teacher left, our English-language teacher came. She told us about some of the necessary books that we would need for each session. We went on with our classes, and I met more teachers. Some seemed bad-tempered.

The class I enjoyed most was social studies because it is my favourite subject. Also, the social studies teacher is a very nice person. Most of all, I love the school and some of the students, but not all of them.

If your child has made the transition from primary to secondary school, we want to hear from them. Have them share their experiences of the first week at their new school in no more than 200 words, along with a picture, and we will select some for publication.
