On Thursday 17 August, 18 Falkland Islands students who have been studying in further education for A levels and other Level 3 qualifications received their results. The Education Department is delighted to confirm that there was a 97% pass rate across 19 different subjects.
Following the adoption of the Falkland Islands Environment Strategy 2021 – 2040 by the Executive Council in late 2021, there has been much work across government towards achieving the Vision of the Strategy. The first progress report for 2022 has been released and is available on the FIG Environment Department website.
The Falkland Islands Executive Head-teacher Karen Steen announced the appointment of a new principal, in a letter sent to FICS parents. The interim Principal, Amanda Fraser, will be returning to her family in the UK in November.
The Falkland Islands Community School is thrilled with this year’s GCSE results - our best set of results from a live examination series. This is the first year of ‘live’ international examinations since before the pandemic and FICS students have had a successful year. Staff and students have displayed determination and resilience to complete the Key Stage 4 studies.
