Michelle Chow's Valedictorian sppech -AlphaMax Academy Class of 2015

Dr. Merkus, Chair of the AlphaMax Academy Board of Directors, Fellow distinguished board members, Distinguished Guest Speaker Ambassador Subrashini,Other Distinguished Guests, Academy staff, Parents, family, friends, fellow students it is a great honor to speak on behalf of the class of 2015.

First and for most I would like thank God for giving me the opportunity to stand here tonight!

Michelle Chow

For the last two months, we have been counting down to this day. Now we are finally here feeling both excited and nervous. We are finally at the end of this stage of our lives. We are ready for the next stage.

There are times where I think that I was destined to come and study at the academy. It was my mother who convinced me to come to this school. In my first days I felt unsure of my English speaking and writing skills. I was not a fluent speaker. I had to work on my grammar and writing every day in school. It was difficult and not exciting.

Last year I was invited to enter the GAC class, but I personally I did not feel up to the task. Both Mr. Taylor and Mr. Drepaul, however, convinced me that I would do well on the GAC course. And here I am today, valedictorian, speaking on behalf of the GAC class and the Graduating class of 2015. The GAC course has made me and my group confident to face the next level of academic work and to face society and its challenges.

Today I would like to thank all our teachers, parents and family members for supporting and believing in us. To all the teachers who watched and helped us grow, I know we all have caused lots of headaches and maybe even heartaches. I want to thank you all for not giving up on us and for continuing to believe in us.

Michelle Chow 

Mr. Drepaul who is the head of the GAC class did not only teach us but he did also guided and prepared us for our further studies. He likes to sit and talk about life for hours. Many of us were not thrilled by these talks.

There were many times where we did not want to hand in our assignments just because we were lazy. But Mr.Drepaul still stayed with us, so thank you Mr. Drepaul for all your patience and for everything you have done for us. You were always there for us! Thank you!

Mr. Taylor, I really do not know where to start with you! The first year when I came here I was so scared of you. I don’t even know why! When I am at school I think about Mr. Taylor, when I do homework and assignments I think about Mr. Taylor, even at night when I sleep I dream about Mr. Taylor! His name, his voice is engraved in my head.

It is really hard to express my thoughts when it comes to Mr. Taylor! But, after getting to know him better, I realized that he could also as sweet as chocolate! So right now, I am not scared of Mr. Taylor anymore! And guess what, he is my favorite teacher now! He taught us all the important aspects of life. He tried to prepare us for our upcoming battles in college. I’m pretty sure most of the parents know that Mr. Taylor likes to teach overtime. But please understand that it is because he just wants to teach us as much as he can!

So Mr. Taylor, on behalf of the class of 2015 I would like to thank you for your time, effort, and love. You are not only a great principal but also a great teacher!

 Class of 2015, we had a great year! There were bad times and there were good times! We struggled together and we were always there to support each other! Good or bad, I will never forget the experience and memories I’ve had with all of you. Now that we have come to an end we will all have go our own way. It will be difficult for all of us to reunite again after this separation but our memories with each other will stay forever! I am really happy and I really appreciate getting to know each one of you! I love you all and I will really miss you guys! I wish you all the best after this!

Once again, the class of 2015 wants to thank all our teachers and family members! We thank all who have made this wonderful evening possible. We sincerely thank you all from the bottom of our heart!

My Journey to a place at SCAD

My name is Alain Soekhlal, I am 18 year of age, and I am a recent graduate from the AlphaMax Academy.  My dream is to become a famous architect, and I hope that Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) can lead me there.

Alain with Jamiel

Two years ago, I visited SCAD in Georgia, and I was fascinated with the school.  I immediately knew that this was the place I wanted to be.  The school is filled with people from all across the globe. In addition, it is a very quiet place.

SCAD

At the time I was there, I gathered all the information I needed to know about how to apply, the various costs - housing fees, and meal plans.  A year ago, I started to apply online.  There were a number of different fields that were required for acceptance.  I needed a certain amount of money that would support me throughout the course years, I needed a score of 6.5 or higher in the IELTS test, and I needed to fill out a series of different sheets with my information about myself.

Approximately two months ago, I did the IELTS test, and got a score of 7.  I immediately sent my scores to the admissions office where Mrs. Ana Velez was responsible for my work.  I frequently emailed her with different questions and her requests for information.  After I sent my scores, Mrs. Velez had them checked.

 On May 19, 2015, I received an email from Mrs. Velez stating that I was accepted to SCAD.  I was overwhelmed with joy.  I was now another step closer to my dreams.  I then waited a few days for my i20 to arrive.  The i20 is a form that the school sends for the students to take to the American embassy when applying for a student visa.

 After I received the files, I had to report to the American embassy to request a student visa.  My request was approved.  On August 24, 2015, I will go to SCAD in Georgia and start my journey of becoming a well known Architect.

Chinese New Year in Suriname

Chinese New Year is the most important time of the year for all Chinese around the world. In Suriname this is no exception.  Each year three Chinese associations, Kong Ngie Tong Sang, Chung Fa Foei Kong and Fa Tjauw Foei Song, usually organize their own Chinese New Year celebration.  2015 was the first year where all three associations gathered and celebrated this special day together.

Hongbao

There are some traditions that Chinese cultures observe during New Year.  The red envelope, also known as Hongbao, is money wrapped in red paper given to kids from their parents, grandparents and others as New Year gifts.

 A Red envelope is used because the color red symbols energy, happiness and good luck.  Sending red packets is a channel for sending good wishes and luck.  The significant thing is the red envelope and not the money inside it. In Chinese tradition it is impolite to open the envelope in front of the giver.

The dragon dance is another tradition that Chinese observe during New Year.  This dance is done to scare away evil spirits.  The Chinese culture thinks of dragons as helpful, friendly creatures which are linked to good luck, long life and wisdom.  Chinese Dragons are associated with storm clouds and life-giving rain.  So, they have special powers to fly in the air, swim in the sea and walk on land.

Dragon Dance

This celebration lasts a few days and it is an important time for families to meet and have delicious meals together. Our celebration in Suriname links us to Chinese across the world.  It is also an important way in which we let the other ethnic groups in Suriname society know about our culture. We try to attract all the energies needed for success at Chinese New Year.

AlphaMax GAC graduate achieves a first for Suriname: A perfect GAC GPA of 4.0

June 28, 2014: Dux of AlphaMax Academy, Reann Kersenhout, has achieved a GAC GPA of 4.0 and the honour of being the first GAC student in Suriname to gain a perfect score. According to Sean Taylor, Principal of AlphaMax Academy, Reann’s achievements are not only academic.

Reann -Graduation 2014

“We are proud of Reann. … On Republic Day in February, she presented a gift from the school to the National Memorial collection and gave an inspiring speech on the occasion of Suriname’s memorial to Nelson Mandela,” he said.

Reann and most of her fellow GAC graduates are planning to take a gap year and start university in September 2015.

The Value of an Hour by John Assaraf- AlphaMax's Message for 16th Day of Christmas.

For the last seven years I have given the following essay by John Assaraf to my  GAC students so that they can reflect on the value of time and how they use it.
As we head to the end of the year and we think about what we have achieved I think it is  useful to read this.
This is our post for the 16th Day of Christmas.
Milton Drepaul
AlphaMax Academy

Selina from Nativity Play 2013

When I was 21 years-old, a gentleman asked me what I thought the value of an hour was. I honestly did not know how to answer the question. He went on to teach me one of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned.

He suggested that the value of an hour was priceless. This confused me some, so this is what he said to me.

“If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself and your environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeks over the course of a year!”

Yikes! As you can imagine I was blown away when he put it to me that way.

Nine 40-hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did the math. 365 days, times one hour each is…yup, nine 40-hour weeks!

He went on to ask me how good I could get at something if I did it all day, every day for just over 2 months. Well, you already know the answer to that.

I thought I could be awesome!

He went on to tell me that over the course of just five years, I would have invested the equivalent of 1,825 hours of focus on whatever I desired to accomplish my life.

Imagine for a minute, how good you can become at anything that you did one hour a day for the next year. How fit could you get? How much more in love would you get and give? How much more money could you earn?

Let me suggest that one hour is a small price to pay in comparison to the payoff. Just one hour a day may be the razor’s edge you need to really get the results you want in your life.

For me, the decision was easy. I have been studying human potential and the mind for over 20 years. Each time I think I’m getting a good handle on it, I am gently reminded of how much there is to observe and learn.

Is getting what you want worth an hour a day? I certainly hope so.

I still manage to set aside my hour to read motivational stories or listen to inspirational people. They are the fuel for my mind and it keeps me learning and yearning for more.

Please adopt an hour a day for yourself! Pick one area of your life that you want to improve and commit the next 90 days to that one thing.

I assure you that the results you achieve will be well worth the decision! And remember…you can’t take out of life more than you put in.

AlphaMax Students visit SAB

On Thu. 27th November the Chemistry classes went to Suriname Alcoholic Beverages (SAB), where alcohol for consumption and medical purposes is produced.

They were accompanied by  Chemistry teachers Atma Jagbandhan and Rick Seepersaud.

This field trip gave students an opportunity to see the practical uses of chemistry in society.

"This field trip was interesting and I learned a lot from it," Sven Lemmers, member of Chemistry class and an AlphaMax senior ( Graduating class of 2015).

Pictures: On the right the tour guide. We were all wearing helmets for safety and at some places also hair nets). At the end of the tour the group was served with non alcoholic refreshments .

AlphaMax Academy lights 108 Diyas for Diwali

On Wednesday 22 October, students and staff from the AlphaMax Academy lit 108 diyas on the school's campus. This ritual was part of the school's celebration of Diwali, one of Suriname's important holidays.

Students put the diyas around four important areas. Each area has 27 diyas. The first area  is the garden around the bust of Rabindronath Tagore. Alphamax Academy is proud to be one of the fourteen locations in the world with a bust of Tagore.

The second major area to be lit is the schools Cosmic Heart crystal fountain. This special sculpture was done by renowned Barbadian artist Charles Barrow who is the father of one of our teachers Isadora Barrow.

AlphaMax Academy has a special garden called the Rainbow Garden. This garden of flowers and plants is designed in the shape of the school's logo. When viewed from the air the school's logo is seen. This garden will be lined with diyas.

The final area to be lit by diyas is a special project of the school. Students in the practical physics class will be building Mr. Krak's unique preservation dehydrator. This device is the first one its type in the world. This preservation system allows tropical fruit, vegetables, herbs and meat to be reserved without chemical additives.

People believe that the number 108 is a spiritually successful number. AlphaMax students are inviting prosperity and abandons in all their activities.

The System by Shannon van Ommeren

The System
A teacher once said
To a small group of students:
“The system has failed us!”
“The system of society…humanity,
Life and love, has failed us!”

He’s wrong!
The system has not failed us,
You failed yourself in life
The system is us
It’s you, it’s me,
It’s him, her, it’s all of us
We are the system!!

By saying that the system
Has failed us
You are stating that
You failed yourself
In life

I?
I refuse to believe that!!
Why?
Because, I have not failed myself
I do make mistakes,
But, I move on
To a new day, a new dawn,
A new light
Because as long as there is life
There are hopes and dreams .

Shakespeare once said:
“life is a stage, everyone
Has their part to play”
So…
You don’t like your character?
Change!
We can’t change what happened…
But, we can change what will happen!

AlphaMax Academy Convincing winner of Happy Spelling Bee Contest

Tamia Hoppie- AlphaMax Champion Speller

AlphaMax Academy convincingly emerged as the English-school winner of Suriname’s National English Spelling Bee Competition last night at the Congreshal in the capital city of Paramaribo.

The major educational event that attracted a full hall of students, teachers, team supporters, and parents – about 750 in all – was organized by Stichting Leren voor een Goede Toekomst (Foundation for a Better Future).

Two AlphaMax scholars successfully captured both the first and second English-school prizes in the fourth and final round of a hotly contested event in which a total of 43 contestants from 22 schools competed for top honors.

The participating schools in the English spelling competition were divided into Dutch-speaking institutions and English-speaking ones.  There were four participating English-curriculum schools facing off in the May 8th finals that saw competitive spelling among primary school, middle school and junior secondary school students, namely from:  the AlphaMax Academy, the Caribbean Education Institute of Suriname, Christian Liberty Academy, and Suriname International School.

After three rounds of spelling a wide range of words graded according to levels, the original field of fourteen (14) English-curricula contestants was whittled down to 8 students – five (5) of whom were AlphaMax scholars, two (2) from Christian Liberty Academy, and one (1) from the Caribbean Education Institute of Suriname.  The five AlphaMax scholars who made it to the final round were Graciella Kenswil, Joanna Daher, Andrea Lau, Noor Patandin, and Tamia Hoppie.

Following the fourth and final round, the Queen Spelling Bee, and winner of the first prize in the English schools, was Tamia Hoppie, AlphaMax junior high school student.  Her performance was an impressive 100%.  Joanna Daher of the Academy’s middle school program emerged as the runner-up Spelling Bee, taking home the second prize.

The National English Spelling Bee Competition is a ground-breaking visionary initiative of Drs. Monique Brown, the Director of the Stichting voor een Goede Toekomst.

Runner up Joanna Daher with the Venezuelan Ambassador to Suriname

Dr A. Murugesan and Kenneth Biervliet – until recently the Director of Education in the Ministry of Education of Suriname – were the specially invited Guests of Honor to distribute the trophies and gift prizes to the winning students and school coaches.

Dr Murugesan is an international artist from India.  Following a career as an economist, English Literature teacher, and human resource director, Dr Murugesan currently resides in Suriname with his spouse, the Ambassador of India.

It is the second time the AlphaMax Academy has won the English National Spelling Bee top honors in Suriname.  The Academy won the first competition in June 2013, at the Congreshal in Paramaribo.

The winners of the Queen Spelling Bee title in the Dutch-school competitions were students from Geyersvleit Mulo (Junior Secondary) school and O.S. Reeberg (Projekt) Primary School.  Students from both schools emerged as the champion and runner-up – taking home the first prize trophies and second prize medals.

This year the first round of the National English Spelling Bee competition had attracted 24 Dutch and English schools.  The first-round spelling competition was run-off in January, earlier this year.

The AlphaMax students who made it to the finals of the Spelling Bee competition were  Graciella Kenswil, Joanna Daher, Andrea Lau, Noor Patandin, Lakiesha Despo, and Tamia Hoppie.  Their Academy’s English teachers and Spelling Bee Coaches included Simone Griffith, Sharon Hoppie, Vijoya Taylor, and Kawita Thani.

AlphaMax Academy has Tagore bust garlanding ceremony

In a simple but elegant short ceremony distinguished guests including Indian Ambassador to Suriname Mrs. M Subashini garlanded the bust of Rabindranath Tagore in the courtyard of AlphaMax Academy in Paramaribo, Suriname on Tagore’s birth anniversary –the 7th May.

Rabindranath Tagore is India’s best-known writer and artist. He is the first non-European winner of the Nobel Prize and is the only known person to have written the national anthems for two different countries.

Rabindranath Tagore has had a profound influence on India’s philosophy and educational thought. He founded the influential Visva-Bharati University.
In the early twentieth century when travel was not easy he visited many countries lecturing on his ideas for a national education based on the lives of the people living in that nation. In his book The Discovery of India, Jawaharlal Nehru wrote, "He (Tagore) has been India's internationalist par excellence, believing and working for international co-operation, taking India's message to other countries and bringing their message to his own people."

India has commemorated his spreading of India’s ideas to many countries by assisting in the setting up of statues and busts in more than 20 countries.
Suriname was honored to be one of a dozen countries that received busts of Tagore on the 150th anniversary of his birth in 2011. AlphaMax Academy was selected as the place in Suriname where the bust was placed because of the Academy’s commitment to Tagore’s ideals. Several time a month Tagore’s poem “ Where the Head is Held High” from his Nobel Prize collection “ Gitanjali” is recited by the school’s community at their morning assembly.

The ceremony began with the singing of the national anthems of Suriname and India. Devesh Chaturdevi Indian Cultural Center musician then sang an enchanting Tagore song in Bengali. The audience warmly applauded his sincere rendition.

The Indian Ambassador, the head of the Indian Cultural Center, the first secreatary of the Indian Embassy , ICC staff and other senior members of the AlphaMax Community then garlanded the bust. The AlphaMax staff and students then recited Tagore’s “ Where the Head is Held High.”

Mr. Sean Taylor made a short speech in which he said that Tagore not only belonged to India but to countries like Suriname which cherished his ideals.
This part of the ceremony ended with brief remarks by the Indian Ambassador who expressed her deep appreciation of AlphaMax Academy’s commitment to Tagore’s ideals.

The audience then went to the school’s major auditorium for a short presentation. This consisted of a harvest dance “ Pous Utsav” by seven female AlphaMax students. Mrs. Kawita Thani of AlphaMax and Carinlangs choreographed this dance item.

Three members of the school’s drama group—members of the class of 2014 Reann Kersenhout (also member of the 2014 GAC class), Randy Esajas and Senior student Daniel Kolf did dramatic renditions of three poems from Gitanjali.

The audience applauded both the dance and the readings. The dance created a happy successful mood and the intense charged presentations of the poems stirred the audience with the emotional power of Tagore’s work
