FROM BAGSS
Hello once again! It is nice to be on the internet after a long break. We lost the old modem drivers and our computers were destroyed by the viruses. We had to reformat all the computers that were destroyed. In the process we deleted the drivers in the computers. Unfortunately, when we wanted to install the drivers, the disc could not be found. We had no choice but buy another modem. It seems internet problems are now the order of the day at BAGSS!
A lot has happened here at BAGSS. Since the opening of the school, 2009 saw many girls passing the national examinations. Out of 74 girls who sat for the national examinations, 60 girls passed. Intersetingly, Maria longwe, the girl who visited Scotland in December was the best. She got 17 points. this means she is likely to be selected to go to the university should she pass the university enterance exams. The headteacher has gone back to colloge to study a bachelor of science. In the meantime Mr Nyasulu is running the school with the help of the three heads of department.
The school has received seven new teachers from the univesity. Unfortunately only have secured houses arround the school. One is staying in the Home economics lab the other has not yet reported for duties due to lack of accomodation.
Our girls have started learning ITC courtesy of Mr D. Zgambo, a new teacher with some knowledge in computers. The problem, however, is that we dont have enough computers. We have only six computers that are in good condition.
Our two teachers namely Mr. thomas Manoah Kamanga and Mrs. Fiddes Msowoya have been chosen to be national science trainners after successfuly going through the interviews. Science and Mathematics teachers will attend a a one week science and mathematics workshop next week. The workshop has been organised to improve the standards and strengthen the teaching of science and mathematics. Our two teachers will be among the facilitators.
Mr Kamanga has been teaching girls and teacher how to post articles on oue braw site. We hope that next month you will read new posts on the site. By the way can you help us with tips on how to upload some pictures. We think it could be a braw idea if our posts are accompanied with pictures. We have just broken off for a wee holiday.

Thomas,
Thank you for the news and congratulations to the girls on their excellent results.
Adding pictures is really easy. I will create a short tutorial for you very soon, but the simplest thing is when you are in the ‘New post’ editor, just between the title box and the main text editor, you will see a heading, ‘Upload / insert’. Click on the next icon along (the double box) and you will get the form to add photos. It should be obvious how it works, but, as I say, I’ll create a tutorial.

I completely forgot that I have already created a tutorial:
