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 Graduation & Opening of Cosmic Heart Fountain
 |
| 2014 Graduates |
Last weekend, the school year at the AlphaMax Academy came to a close in a sphere of festive activities. On Saturday, nine students received their diplomas.
Valedictorian for the Class of 2014 was Reann Kersenhout. Reann received the highest school awards for her super performance in the Global Assessment Certificate program, which she completed with 17 distinctions out of 18 subjects. Her super performance gave the 16 year student of Suriname a perfect average score of 4.00. This very rare achievement – perhaps the only one this year worldwide – was applauded with a special Certificate of Achievement and a Scholarship Award from examiners in Australia.
Among the highlights of this year’s Graduation and Awards ceremonies was the opening in the Academy’s courtyard of the Cosmic Heart fountain. It is a unique gift from Caribbean sculptor, James Barrow, who lives in Barbados.
The AlphaMax Academy was established in Suriname in September 1998; the school attracts students from Suriname who are keen to receive their education in English, the world language. The Academy offers classes to students from Kindergarten through the VWO level, the first-year of University study.
