TWELVE-YEAR-OLD Garfield Davidson scored another academic victory this week with the acquisition of four more subjects at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) level.
This week's achievement of a distinction in Human and Social Biology and credits in Spanish, Principles of Accounts, Office Administration adds to the four distinctions which Davidson scored last year in Integrated Science, Social Studies and Electronic Document Preparation and Management and the credit he scored in Religious Education.

1/1
"I feel really good," the reserved Davidson told the Observer West yesterday, noting that with the exception of Office Administration, for which he had hoped to score a dictinction, the results represented what he had expected.
Davidson, a student of the DeOkoro Magnet school for gifted children, where he enrolled four years ago, will now move on to tackling Chemistry, Biology, Physics Math and English at the CXC level, much to the delight of his principal, Vivienne DeOkoro.
"We are talking about a traditional seventh-grader here. Had he been at an ordinary high school he would be going into grade eight and he certainly would not have eight subjects," she told the Observer West yesterday.
DeOkoro, who started the DeOkoro Magnet school for gifted children 17 years ago, sent up 22 students for the May/June sitting of the exams.
"They all did well," she said, noting that the school, which facilitates asynchronous development in children, will be starting a programme in Kingston this September.
