Oscar winning music director A.R. Rahman, reportedly set to make his directorial debut along with a Toronto-based company, says he wants to look into artistic tie-ups between India and Canada.
Rahman on Tuesday night took to Facebook to share a photograph of himself with Toronto Mayor John Tory and thanked him for his invitation to set up a base in Canada.
More from the world of Entertainment:
"Thank you for your kind invitation to set up a base in Canada, Mr Mayor. I'm indeed very touched and moved by your gesture," Rahman wrote.
The "Tu hai" crooner added that he was well-settled and happy in Tamil Nadu, with his family and friends.

"Do visit our KM Music Conservatory when you come to India the next time. I will also look into interesting artistic collaborations between Canada and India," he added.
The music maestro has reportedly collaborated with Canadian company Ideal Entertainment, which will be partnering on three of his films – "Le Musk", "99 Songs" and "One Heart – The A.R. Rahman Concert Film".
It could be a double whammy for Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman once again at the Academy Awards as his work for "Pele: Birth of a Legend" has found a spot in the list of Oscar contenders for the year. Rahman had registered a double Oscar win for his music Slumdog Millionaire in 2009. This time, his name features in a long list of 145 scores in contention for a nomination in the Original Score category for the 89th Academy Awards.

Irrespective of all the issues that continuously surround Facebook, it is growing beyond all expectation. The userbase is about to reach 500 Million and according to ComScore, Facebook served the largest number ad impressions to US based internet users in first quarter of this year. The 176 Billion impressions that Facebook served in the 3 month period represents 16.2% of the total ad impressions served to the US based internet users.
Facebook was followed by Yahoo! with 132 Billion impressions while Microsoft sites only managed to serve a meager 60 Billion impressions representing less than 6% of the total market share. The total number of impressions for Q1 in 2010 went up to 1.1 Trillion which is 15% more than the same quarter of previous year. This includes static and rich media ads but does not include video ads (no wonder YouTube didn't make it to the list).
Over all, these impressions cost $2.7 Billion which brings the average CPM to $2.48. Out of the 1.1 Trillion impressions, around 2.4% or 26 Billion ads were of AT&T followed by Verizon, Scottrade and Experian Interactive. The 15% growth witnessed in the last quarter is a strong sign of recovery for online display ads market which slipped into a recession in late 2008. If the growth continues, the US market alone will amount up to 4.5 Trillion impressions for the full year of 2010.

text: Yesterday I mentioned perspective in my blog. Perspective can relate to many different aspects of ones life. I loved slowing down a little to really appreciate all the different ways I can view my life, my community, my relationships, and my travels. I experienced small children giggling, wind chimes making their music in the breeze, leaves crunching under my feet, the last of the insects attempting to survive the chilly weather, the pride in a project completed, and the energy of my teenage boys (they come into our home like a whirlwind, eat and are gone just as fast!). I love the perspective of this photo. I love that the small yellow leaf adhered itself to the tinted window of my truck. My intention was capturing a fallen leaf no longer blowing in the wind but securely stuck to a window. What I actually captured was a different perspective of a quiet neighborhood.

Kudos to Rep. Scott Tipton for recommending that a good government program be made permanent.
The Every Kid Outdoors Act, introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, asks the Department of the Interior to maintain a program that provides fourth-grade students, along with their families, free access to federally managed lands, waters and historic sites.
Especially in a time such as this, when politics are impassioned and divisive, the United States of America may seem more like an ideal than a physical place, where those politics are driven by the vastness and stunning diversity of the landscape. Between one shining sea and the other, from Canada to Mexico and outward to Alaska and our island states and territories, there is a lot to see and a lot to understand.
Rep. Niki Tsongas, a Democrat from Massachusetts, said, "Our nation's public lands protect, celebrate and give access to the many places that have shaped and defined who we are as Americans."
She's right. The nation's formative history did not take place only in the 13 original colonies. As the frontier moved westward, governing concepts that made sense in seaboard cities had to be adjusted.
The National Anthem sounds different to children who have visited Fort McHenry. The costs of war seem real at a Civil War battlefield or the Little Bighorn. Cultural parks and monuments from Mesa Verde to Independence Hall to Birmingham put American history in a broader perspective. The science and natural history of places like Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon is almost incomprehensible until viewed up close.
We never know what will pique a student's interest, but among our forests, parks and monuments, there is something to interest every child. A park pass is an invitation to explore and experience; It is an invaluable partnership with parents and teachers.
A similar strategy, giving free season ski passes to fourth-graders, has turned Colorado students into lifelong skiers. Let's turn American youths into lifelong learners who recognize, understand and appreciate the country's trove of wonderful places and stories. That is education at its finest, and it only costs the government the price of admission.

This particular sermon does a great job of explaining many of the popular theories refuting the resurrection of Jesus. It also presents some great material confirming it. This is great to listen to if you're either doubting, or want more confirmation in what you believe.
After going through a lot of head-knowledge and facts, Joseph pulls it in to get to the heart of what Jesus' resurrection really means, and it's significance in our lives.
The sermon can be found here: http://www.churchinhollywood.com/#/sundays/podcasts
I only took a few notes on this one:
- The resurrection of Jesus does three things:
- Validates our faith
- If Jesus can't resurrect the dead, then He can't save me, atone my sins or do anything else He claims.
- Conquers our greatest fear: death.
- 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 - "'Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?' The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
- Joseph points out that Paul, in this verse, is using poetry to talk about death, emphasizing that we can rejoice in its defeat.
- Secures our future:
- Paul says that, if Jesus has not resurrected, Christians are to be pitied most of all men for sacrificing their lives to a hopeless cause.
- This is not the case though, and our labors are not in vain.
- 1 Corinthians 15:58 - "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

Its under a week until SOS IS LAUNCHED FOR ALL TO SEE and I personally cannot wait! In many ways its been a long journey, with lots of positives and incredible results…in other ways its gone so fast and I guess more could always have been done, such is life eh!
I'm really excited to see it in its glory and hopefully see others there too, see their reactions and just enjoy meeting those who made it possible.
I'm fortunate that my fabulous sister, my wonderful dad and my lovely friend Annalise will be there for the launch – alongside many others I hope! I know it will be an emotional day but also one of proud moments!
Photos will be taken so that everyone can be part of this day too! So watch this space!
Also, I'm really hoping someone will start a sos somewhere else which I can be part of too! I think its been a real success and something which could be a starting pad for others projects! 🙂

It is always the interest of the bridal couple to capture the theme of their wedding by choosing the best centerpieces. The couple merges different experiences with other people to come ensure that they create a lot of memories.
Flowers come in different variations readily available in colors that match the décor. They can be displayed without coordinating them with any other assortments or better still match them with any items that will be used on that day.
Edible Ideas It is goodto include centerpieces that are creative in nature. These centerpieces can double as favors and are a good way of cutting down expenses and the labor used in cleaning as well as in the creation of the same. For instance, a vase filled with chocolates that are candy-covered or a basket filled with some sweet almonds. Boxes filled with cookies can also be put at the middle of the table and to capture the eye of the guest.
Candles are an essential part of the centerpieces. They are Chosen of different heights to illuminate the set tables and ensure the room feels and looks intimate. Beautiful and inexpensive ones can be chosen to make the place glow. Placing them on a silver or mirror plate reflects the light more and hence illuminating the space much better.
Balloons have a magnificent power of making the place look more colorful and avoid the monotony of having only flowers. Balloons are cheaper as compared to the flowers and they fill a space more quickly.
Fruits Apples, lemons, oranges and any other type are quite a turn on and will catch the eye of the guests. A basket or a vase that is clear filled with these fruits showing their different colors looks beautiful and attractive. To avoid wastage, they can be carried home to be eaten later.
Framed photos will draw attention to the family of the couple in question whether living or dead. They may be inclusive of the dating days of the couple or even choose to include attendants that they wish to recognize.
Wildflowers are more exceptional than the exotic ones. They can be picked freshly and placed in vases that have water for the ones that are succulent.
Beads and baubles a bowl filled with assortments like shells, beads, crystals or rocks are a simple makeup. Mixed with candles, decorative beads increase the appeal.
Themed objects items that match the theme make a good centerpiece. Watering cans, birdhouses, jars of honey attained locally, birdcage be included. A carved pumpkin fits a fall wedding, while a sand pail supplements a summer weather wedding.

I have this recurring dream that the Packers lose every game they play, and then I wake up in a deep sweat and realize that it's not a dream. This nightmare can end anytime, please! Things won't get any easier this week as the Packers take their 4-game losing streak into Philadelphia. We will be tackling three burning questions, two key match-ups, and one bold prediction. This is the Countdown to Kickoff.
3 Burning Questions
Can Christine Michael boost the run game?
With only one game featuring a 100+ yard rusher this season, this team is in desperate need of a solid run game. I mean, Aaron Rodgers has lead the team in rushing in 2 games this year! Christine Michael was having a solid year in Seattle, and that was even with a suspect offensive line. The Packers are going up against a stout defense, but the area to attack this defense is on the ground. With a balanced mix of speed and power, he has all the tools to be successful for the Packers. The Packers are counting on him to carry the load this season when they kept Eddie Lacy on the IR. It will take Michael a little bit of time to become familiar with the offense, but expect a groove to start this week in Philadelphia.
Can Clay Matthews return to form?
After returning from injury last week, Clay looked to be a non-factor for the most part. There is no reason why, at age 30, that Clay should not be at his peak. If the Packers have any chance at winning on Monday, they need to develop a pass rush. The first name that jumps to everyone's mind is Clay Matthews. It's highly possible the Blake Martinez will miss Monday's game. And if that's the case, Clay is going to be all over the field. With the ability to get to the quarterback from all gaps, Clay needs to capitalize.
Can the Packers secondary rebound?
Short staffed, virtually zero confidence, and a coaching staff that has seemingly run out of ideas, this could be the point of no return. Sam Shields will remain on the IR and Demetri Goodson is out for the year. There are a couple bright spots this week though. Damarious Randall returned to practice, and the Eagles wide receiving corps is very average. Dom Capers is fighting for a job the remainder of the year, and all eyes are on him. Going up against a rookie quarterback, the secondary will have to take advantage of errant throws and telegraphed passes.
2 Key Match-ups
Aaron Rodgers vs Eagles Defense
At this point in the season, Aaron Rodgers is the key to every Packers game. If he has an off day, forget about winning. If he is classic Aaron, he keeps them in the game. The Eagles have one of the top defenses in football. The Eagles defense gives up few yards, but all it takes is a few good drives this game to put the Packers in position to win. Aaron has been hot these last few weeks, and he has confidence that the Packers can turn things around. Quoted this week by saying he thinks the Packers can run the table, he needs to keep his game elevated for that to happen.
Packers Front Seven vs Allen Barbre
The Eagles offensive line is banged up. This has forced the Eagles to start ex-Packer Allen Barbre at Right Tackle. Barbre has not started a game at Right Tackle since week 1 of 2014. The Eagles offensive line has done a decent job of keeping Carson Wentz on his feet, but a change like this on the offensive line is something the Packers can take advantage of. Getting pressure on Wentz and getting the Eagles offense off the field is key.
1 Bold Prediction
Last week I was about as close as close can be, so I'm ready to improve to dead accurate.
This week is going to be the Ty Montgomery show. Christine Michael and James Starks will get their share of touches, but Montgomery will make his touches count. Lock him in for a stat line of 121 all-purpose yards and a touchdown.
Packers – 23
Eagles – 20

Beginning The New Year With A Mega Post
No school holiday is complete with a little crafting. I've been thinking about doing some robot soft toys and I suck at drawing robots, so Nigel was my hired artist. He'll draw anything for M&Ms.
Had the drawing scanned and cleaned up with Photoshop. Filled in with some colour and sized it for printing into this inkjet canvas Grace lugged home for me from the states. Remind me to get more of this incredible canvas. It's an iron-on canvas that lets you print on your inkjet printer.
Printing was easy-peasy. Just load the right side up and print. Iron-on to a fabric and piece together by sewing . Sew fabric right side facing each other and invert at a small opening.
See him stuff that toy! Using his feet and all. Small hands do a better job when the toy is small. Stitch it up to close the opening and voila!!
He named his robot Adryon!
Pretending to sleep with Adryon. But he's actually in love with his little stuff toy he made and Adryon sleeps by his side every night now.
A tutu and a pink wabbit for 'Sica'. She's my biggest fan and daughter to a talented scrapbook artist - Katherine Saw!
The apron I made for Auntie Josie. A passionate cook and the reason why we are all overweight! I paired my favourite oriental fabric with some classical gingham and finished it off with vintage lace.
The little hamplett I assembled for Uncle Peter (What a sport and generous Uncle! He sponsored a gift for the Christmas Tree contest!) and Auntie Josie (For all that delicious and memorable food we had throughout the celebrations.).
A frame for mom. Picture was selected by Nigel and of course, a beautiful poem for his popo.
My Christmas tree was laden with handmade ornaments. This picture does little justice to all the little handmade gifts I've received from the swap and wonderful friend BJ!
I took down our Christmas tree today and look at my stash of handmade ornaments. Aren't they beautiful. I've been blessed.
A free-hand applique of a cupcake fit for a princess. My cousin Shen is into scrapbooking now and she was also my Christmas swap family, so I made her a little cupcake crafting pouch. And because it's her wedding I added the lace (pieces of remnant lace I got from the lady who made my wedding dress!) for a good measure of blessings!
The finished pouch with a button and a polka dot ribbon for an anchor at the zip.
Put everything in a pink box and I hope she'll have fun with the scrapbooking materials I got from Scrap and Crop. Have some wine and start scrapbooking!? Hahah!
Congratulations to Shen-Ni & Johnathan. It has truly been a wonderful ceremony and we love every detail you've whole heartedly planned for this special day. We all had an incredible weekend and here's all of us wishing you all the best. And Man, you made us all cry with that love serenade. Give thanks to the Lord, for you have found HER!!
Nigel and his sweet flower girl walking down the aisle as ring bearer.
Pretty maids in a row and a handsome prince at their tail. (Guffaw!!!)
Nigel with Unca Meow and soon-to-be Auntie in law!
All my cousins. Yean...We miss you too!
My babysitter is back. See you during the Chinese New Year. Will we be expecting your love interest?
Our family shot with our grandparents. A night of tribute to Chop Lee Kwan. After 7 decades of operations, this sundry shop has made us what we are today. This shop deserves a posting all on its own.
Founder of Chop Lee Kwan. My greatgrand parents started it all 7 decades ago and their legacy continues till today. This is a picture I retouched from an old picture and had it framed for my grandfather.
The Christmas tree contest in progress. Look at the enthusiasm and the utter mess! We have to thank all the sponsors and we hope next year they'll continue to contribute to this fun cause!
Everyone working hard on their designs. Look at the concentration.
Elizabeth and her mom's creation. I hope we didn't scare them away with our noise and mess.
Stan and Nigel's Magical Tree. A cute lacy Christmas tree with all the shiny confetti.
All the contestant's tree. Spelling mistake and all. Will post the winnings in the next post. Still waiting for the photos from Meow! (get the hint!)
Finishing touches by the Lees.
Hands Down for the winner!
So excited I have to shoo! everyone to the living hall where a jazzy team was preparing for a fantastic musical showdown. And while the judges selected the winners, we were treated to a special performance by our two very talented cousins (under heavy supervision by their mother!)
Aren't they just cool.
The three birthday kids cutting their 3-different flavoured cakes made by Auntie Josie! Yummy!

Love all your beautiful handmade goodies.

The Liberty County Jail is located at 180 Paul Sikes Drive. It is a 39.41 acre complex consisting of the Jail proper, two Training Facilities, K-9 Kennels and a Firing Range. The Georgia State Patrol and the Department of Driver Services facility are also located on this complex. Our facility houses inmates not only for our department but the Hinesville Police Department, the Midway Police Department and the Walthourville Police Department and any county that requests our assistance. We are also contracted with Fort Stewart and the U.S. Marshal's to house federal inmates.
The Jail Facility employs 58 County personnel, 3 Kitchen contractors and 9 Medical contractors. Our facility consist of 305 inmate beds in 17 separate indirect housing bays, 2 special housing cells, 4 medical cells and 4 solitary confinement cells. We have an on-site kitchen that provides two hot meals and one cold meal a day to the inmates. Our laundry facility cleans and maintains all the uniforms and bedding for the inmates on-site. In order to keep the cost of running our facility down, we utilize inmate labor or "trustee's" to assist with the preparation, cooking and cleanup of all inmate meals. Other "trustee's" are used to clean and maintain the facility and to assist in the laundry.
Sheriff Steve Sikes is committed to providing a safe and secure facility to insure the safety of the citizens of Liberty County by maintaining the custody, control and care of those incarcerated in a constitutional manner, and providing a safe, stable work environment for staff.
Frequently asked questions concerning inmate visitation, bonding procedures and rules and regulations are address on our FAQ page.

Who do I need to surround myself with?
It got me to thinking about the much deeper understanding I have now of the different arms of the Christian faith, how different Christians think, pray, understand God, what they believe about the Bible etc. I probably went through the stages of having no idea about this kind of thing, to being arrogant/proud about how my ways were so much better than everybody else's to now really loving the diversity I see in the Body of Christ.
This then caused me to reflect on a conversation I'd had with my spiritual director (you should all look into it-can be very helpful) about my struggles with prayer, and the need to surround myself with others far more committed to and experienced in prayer than I (and then to be able to move on from needing the support of those people-but thats another post) because those people just have so much to teach me.
I've found that being able to know a little bit about where a person/group of people are roughly coming from, can be helpful in working out if they're the people I need in my life right now.
Basically, there are some areas of my Christian life that I'm more on top of than others, and I really need to surround myself with those who are much further along in the areas I'm weak... Which are too many!

Think I understand what your getting at but at the same time that sounded very postmodern- choose people who give you what you want/need and as soon as that doesn't work for you or is not what you need move on to someone new. Maybe thats the best way to live life but at the moment I'm not convinced. lacks commitment to anything.

- Digger said...
Yeah thats probably a pretty fair criticism Mim, perhaps a bit too much of a consumer attitude?
I agree that just going to something/being a part of a community because you get something out of it, then leaving when you're not, is really poor form, but I think that maybe there are different expectations/rules for courses/programs than communities and groups.
Know what I mean?

Hey Digger, I thought this was going a tottally different direction just reading the title.
Firstly, well put.
It's not the first time i've heard this but i like the idea- it seems somewhat barbaric to "use" someone for their knowledge but what good is knowledge that isn't used?
I like what you said about having people around you who are stronger in certain areas that you may not be as strong in...gonna use that one in my own life ;)
Secondly, I agree that is harder to think about diversity in christian faith but like my Dad says, "God is like a human Dad on father's Dad. One child brings him socks and another shoes. Both bring him different things (worth different amounts materialisticly)yet hold the same value because they can be used together. So it is with Churches/individuals in faith."

- Mim said...
I took what you said much more generally- in groups, rels etc. (prob cos thats where I have most spiritual guidance) and ditching cos' you feel it's not worth it- still trying to work out exactly where I stand with societies ideal on this and whether I'm holding on to stuff cos' it what I'm used to and it's a safe christian expectation or if there's more to it and really of God.

Hey Digger,
I understand a little of what you're saying. I'm a fair bit younger than you, but have had thoughts in my life before, such as maybe I wasn't hanging out with the right people. But I think now that there is no 'right' people, that if you want strength and support and anything, it returns wherever you give it. It might not happen instantly, but it's bound to happen, or so I've learnt. I might be way off course here, but hey, i'm tired. I feel kinda ignorant and not so intelligent compared to these other posts.
Finally, what about a post on "What do I need to surround myself with?" because it's been something i've certainly been thinking about lately. Maybe I'll post on that one myself.
- 11:00 pm
- Digger said...
Hey Esky, yeah I reckon thats a good point about just using somebody for their knowledge/skills, and I think its a fine line between using people and making the most of their skills.
Nice photo too mate.
- 9:39 am
- Digger said...
Yeah no dramas Mim, make sure you blog down some thoughts when you can, would be interested to hear your perspective.
Hey Ben, I actually reckon there are 'wrong' people to hang out with, but not one 'right' group, if that makes sense.
I'd like to agree with you on the you get love and support from wherever you put it out, but in my experience, particularly outside churches, thats not always the case.
And yeah I'd love to see a post on that one.

- Petition"Please do not lock down laying hens"
Petition"Please do not lock down laying hens"
(Images taken at a poultry farm in Japan, 2016)
Please sign & share this petition!
To prioritize maximum output while minimizing costs, most chickens in Japan are raised on factory farms where they suffer greatly, leading short, miserable lives in overcrowded cages. Considered as "things", not living beings, no consideration is given to their well-being, or the fact that they have their own lives, feelings and emotions.
The low price of eggs has remained constant since the1960's, while chickens have paid the price in suffering. This must end.
This petition will be delivered to the egg industry, egg retailers, food manufacturers and restaurants using battery cage eggs and will also be used to lobby the government.
The use of battery cages is an inhumane production method under which egg-laying hens are housed in small wire-mesh enclosures in overcrowded spaces. Here, they spend their entire lives, unable to fulfil their natural behaviours such as nesting, perching, dust bathing or rooting around in the soil. The wire floors of the cages are sloped so that the eggs roll out of the cages, putting further stress on the hens' joints. Each hen has approximately sixty-four square inches of space. As of 2014, 92% of the poultry industry in Japan used battery cages.
The EU, as well as six states in the USA, has already banned battery cages.
Overseas, many well-known, major companies such as McDonald's, Starbucks and Walmart, announced some time ago that they have ended, or are phasing out, the use of eggs from hens in battery cages.
The number of companies following suit has also increased yearly. In the U.S, the top 25 retailers have committed to phasing out battery cages over the next decade. Other companies who have phased out (or, are actively phasing out) battery eggs include: Alsea, the world's fifth biggest restaurant group; Grupo Bimbo, the world`s largest baking company which operates the largest bakeries in the USA, Mexico, Canada, Chile and Spain; Carnival Corporation, the biggest cruise company in the world; and Hilton Worldwide, the hotel giant. Worldwide, across industries, corporations of all kinds are phasing out battery eggs.
However, in Japan, there's no similar movement.
In order to fight effectively to change this, and to save the millions of hens suffering at this very moment, we need your voice. Please say "No" to battery cage eggs.
"No More Battery-Cage Eggs" Campaign:
The Japan Animal Rights Center had a vet examine chickens rescued from battery cages in Japan. The results revealed gruesome animal cruelty:

This figure shows Napoleon Bonaparte at the Pont d'Arcole in Paris. It's the year 1796 when he defeats the Austrians at this bridge over the river Seine.
The figure is based, and that's a personal opinion, on this painting:
It is from the Legio Miniatures - Bruno Arnal range. I've painted him with acrylic paints from Games Workshop and Revell. The blue is maybe a bit to light, but I will not change it.
Enjoy the pictures!
Hope you like him!

Ponteland High School has achieved its best ever GCSE results this year despite changes to subjects and exams.
When combining English and maths subjects, 79 per cent of students achieved at least a 'standard pass' – 4 or better under the new number grades system for both English and maths – which is an increase on the 2016 results (76 per cent).
Grade 4 or better was achieved by 89 per cent of students in English and 81 per cent of pupils in maths and the 'strong pass' figures – grade 5 or better – were 70 per cent for English and 64 per cent for maths.
The new qualifications include three tiers of grades (7, 8 and 9) to replace A* and A.
A total of 11 students gained grade 9 in English qualifications and the number for maths was also 11.
Twenty eight per cent of all English grades were 7 to 9 and 21 per cent of all maths grades were 7 to 9.
Other notable achievements include 20 per cent of students receiving five or more A*, A and English and maths 7 to 9 grades and 41 per cent gained five or more A* to B and English and maths 6 to 9 grades.
Katrina Sanders was among the star students. She got the top grade of 9 in English language, English literature and maths and A*s in biology, business studies, chemistry, French, geography, physics, religious studies and Spanish.
The 16-year-old Ponteland resident will return to Pont High to study A-levels in chemistry, maths, further maths and physics.
She said: "I was nervous coming to the school and shaking when I opened the envelope, then I started crying tears of joy when I saw my results.
"I was expecting to get 7s in my English subjects, so I was really happy to get 9s in both English language and English literature.
"I would like to thank all my teachers for their support.
"At the moment, the plan is to study maths at university. I find the subject very interesting."
In addition, 31 per cent of Pont High students achieved the English Baccalaureate, which includes strong passes in English and Maths to complement C or better grades in science, a humanities and a language qualification – 33 per cent when including standard passes in English and maths.
Headteacher Kieran McGrane said: "I am absolutely delighted with the superb GCSE results our students have achieved this year.
"All schools have been understandably cautious about outcomes this year given the significant changes to GCSE English and maths and the move to terminal exams.
"As such, it is even more pleasing to see that our results have increased from last year.
"All of our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that our students were well prepared for their exams, but particular mention must go to our English and maths staff who were getting students ready for the first qualifications graded under the new 1 to 9 number grades system.
"To achieve a total of 22 grade 9s was phenomenal given the high standard required to achieve this top grade.
"Our students have applied themselves diligently and conscientiously and they should be rightfully proud of their achievements.
"Thanks also to parents for their support throughout what will have been an anxious and trying time."

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, filet removed
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups crushed corn flake cereal
1 tsp canola oil
Remove the filet from each chicken breast. Save the filets for another use. Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness (1/4 – ½ inch). Coat with flour then dip in beaten egg. Cover both sides of the chicken breasts with corn flakes crumbs, pressing down on the coating with your hand to help the cornflakes stick. Place chicken on parchment paper covered baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
Preheat oven to 400F. Bake 20 minutes or until the meat thermometer inserted into the largest piece reads 170F. Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles, and vegetables.
Get a jump on tomorrow's lunch! Coat the filets just as you would the chicken breasts. Bake for 15 minutes then cool. Refrigerate then enjoy for lunch the next day.

The genius behind the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show will finally become a New Zealand citizen after years of calling the Western Bay of Plenty home.
From his home in the Katikati area, Richard O'Brien told the Bay of Plenty Times yesterday he was over the moon at the good news, which he learned of this week.
"I can't believe it's happening. It's fantastic, and something I really should have taken care of before I left," he said.
Mr O'Brien was raised in Tauranga when his English father came to New Zealand to become a sheep farmer in 1952. He spent his teens and early 20s in Tauranga and Hamilton, before leaving for the UK in 1964.
(Story continues below)
He has long been a celebrated son of Hamilton, where a Riff Raff statue stands and where a fundraising concert will be put on by Mr O'Brien in March 2012.
There was controversy surrounding Mr O'Brien's citizenship last year when an application was declined because he did not fit immigration criteria.
There was a public outcry from fans, some of whom set up Facebook pages "Let Richard O'Brien be a New Zealand Citizen". Immigration officials then announced they would waive the usual requirement for people to have had residency for five years before applying for citizenship.
Mr O'Brien will now take part in a citizenship ceremony on December 14.
"I feel it's right. I got to England in 1964 and I was a New Zealander, a Kiwi. I loved it, I've always loved the country," Mr O'Brien said.
"I'm standing here looking out the window and on one side you have rural New Zealand, looking towards the Mount and on the other side is a beautiful valley."
Mr O'Brien shot to fame when he wrote and starred in Rocky Horror but is also well known as a writer, actor, television presenter and theatre performer.
He said he had ensured his children had close ties to their aunts and uncles, who also live in Tauranga, and when he was based in the UK.
He would let no more than three years go by without a visit to New Zealand.
After years of splitting himself between New Zealand and the United Kingdom, he is almost settled now. "I want to make sure I live here more than I live there," Mr O'Brien said.

From the sales floor to the boardroom, your ability to deliver a message with clarity will have a dramatic impact on your success.
When it comes to your spoken communications, planning and preparation allows you to deliver your message more effectively, increasing the likelihood others will respond as desired.
As you consider your approach to any conversation or presentation, consider the four keys to developing clarity:
- Substance
- Simplicity
- Structure
- Speed
When you are communicating with others you have a message to share and a desired outcome of the conversation.
When you focus on the substance, you start taking an intentional look at your message to identify the key essential elements. By devoting time to developing your message, you increase your probability of success.
Ask yourself:
- What are the most important details I need to share?
- What do I want them to remember?
- What action do I want them to take?
- What can I say or ask that will help them take action?
- What story could I share to illustrate benefits?
These questions will help you identify the most important substance of your presentation and begin developing a strategic outline.
Having identified your core substance, ask yourself: How can I deliver this in the most simplistic manner possible?
Keep in mind that when you are presenting to others, they are:
- Listening to you
- Processing the information
- Thinking about the information and what it means to them
- Watching you
- Distracted by their surroundings
- Feeling their cell phone vibrating
- Thinking about other things they need to do
Given the level of thought and distraction occurring within the mind of your listener, the more straightforward your message, the higher the probability it will stick.
As you develop your message, consider:
- Using simple terminology, avoiding buzzwords and jargon
- Using shorter, more concise sentences
- Using a short story to illustrate a point
Keep in mind that the intent of "Simplicity" is not to talk down to people, but to present a message that is easy to understand, interpret, and act on.
Once you are clear on your key message and wording, developing the structure of your discussion or presentation will help you avoid missteps.
Some of the key areas that require attention are:
- Rapport building
- Opening
- Information gathering
- Information sharing
- Story structure and placement
- Closing/call to action
As you become more strategic about the structure of your presentations, you will develop a library of common openings, stories, and calls to action that you will be comfortable using in a variety of situations.
You have prepared your information, now it's time to talk to a customer or present to a group. During any form of presentation it is important to use vocal variety (tone, volume, and speed) to avoid having your standard speaking tone become monotonous.
Vocal variety throughout your presentation provides two benefits:
- Maintaining engagement and interest in your material
- Highlighting critical elements without additional words
Here are some tips for intentionally using speed to create greater impact:
- Record yourself speaking normally to determine your baseline speed, tone, and volume.
- Highlight points that you are excited about, and practice saying those at a faster rate to convey excitement.
- Highlight important points, and practice slowing down to convey importance.
- Practice using pauses to allow your listener to connect to your points, and consider their impact.
Through your increased focus on Substance, Simplicity, Structure, and Speed, your presentations to your customers or audience will become more consistent, powerful, and most importantly, more effective.
