They will complete other subjects in the exam this week.
Headmaster Barum Rongi said it is the first for the students to sit for the grade 8 exam.
He said the school started in 2020 with two classes – grade 3 and 4.
He said in 2021, it started grade 4 and made a huge jump to 6.
Mr Rongi said in 2022 it took grade 7 and grade 8 this year.
He said the school made a huge jump compared to nine other schools set up at the same time. These students, he said, are the pioneer Grade 8s of Waghi Wan.
“As headmaster I will never forget my students doing their exam. It is an experience that I will still remember for the rest of my life,” he said.
