At age 3, Jannine Nicholas memorised the Lord’s prayer and recited it everyday and like Paul she wrote out the Word of God in her own handwriting. As to date she has written out 24 books of the bible. By the time Paul was 17 years old, he had already written out 54 books of the bible. He entered Cambridge University overflowing with the Word of God. It was such a joy when Paul surprised us by informing us on 24th January 2010 that he has created his own website now, press this Link to read Paul's own superb and genuine story. It's an interesting read:
At age 5,Jannine sat for an entrance exam at Alleyn's Junior School, Dulwich. Out of 200 applicants, 100 were short listed to fill 16 places. God the Father honoured Jannine by successfully placing her within the 16 entries. At age 11 she won two scholarships to St. Dunstan’s College and Sydenham High School in London. Her name was published in 'The Times' on the 25th June 2002 for securing one of the top scholarship awards at St. Dunstan's. Jannine attended Senior School at Old Palace School Of John WhitGift.
For over 13 years Dad faithfully prayed and spoke the Word of our Lord aloud (the verses of the bible) every day, together with Jannine. Dad coached her on how to articulate the biblical verses, oozing and speaking them, percolated with the sweet fragrance of the Holy Spirit. To discern whether Dad has done a successful job, do hear a short rendition of her public reading at All Saints Church, Peckham on 19 July 2009 at the 10 am service: Please click here for a recording of Jannine reading Psalm 102.
Jannine is now an under-graduate at St. John's College, University of Cambridge.) Before she left for Cambridge one of the Books of the Bible she read aloud daily with her Dad was the book of Proverbs, a book full of wisdom. We must have covered the book at least 60 times. In reference to her year, October 2009 entry, the Law Faculty at St John’s College sent acceptance letters to only eight applicants from all over the world to read Law. The selection process is rigid and tough. St. John's College has certain distinctive characteristics. Their law undergraduates are mainly supervised by Fellows of their own College and the College Law library is something to behold. It's also one of the best resourced of any Oxbridge College. They retain and hold copies of most of the books and periodicals which are pre-requisites for any first year undergraduate). |
 Jannine
at Alleyn's Junior School, Townley Road, Dulwich SE 22
2000/2001: Form 5W, sitting alongside Jannine are Anna Putt and Augustus Lonsdale. Standing behind are the Class Teacher Miss W. Tyler, Alexander Ooi and Angeli Jeyarajah. We convey our thanks to Wendy Tyler for motivating Jannine to achieving academic excellence. Miss Tyler left Alleyn's in January 2002 to take up the post of Director of Studies at Dean Close Preparatory School in Cheltenham. We wish her every success.
The Headmistress during this period was Mrs Bridget Weir. We remember having some discussions with her in her comfortable office. She was the founding Headmistress of Alleyn's Junior School. Also at this time the Headmaster of Alleyn's Senior School, was Dr. Colin Niven. Incidentally, he was also the Headmaster of Island School, Hong Kong and Dulwich College, Shanghai, The Peoples Republic of China.

September 2006 During her Year 10, Jannine decided to sit for her first GCSE Paper. The subject was astronomy. She commenced her studies in September 2005 and sat for the examination on 13th June 2006: a total of nine months. We were delighted to receive the news that she has now received her first A*. May this be the seed for her to flourish when she sits for her complete set of GCSE’s during the summer of May/ June 2007. May the original blessing of the Garden of Eden overflow on her----- that she will proceed to dominate, control and overpower every subject she sits for and that the blessing of our Lord upon her will stand as a testimony for others to imitate. The blessings continue to flow!
In March 2007 Jannine entered the United
Kingdom Senior Mathematical Challenge, which is usually a statistical gauge for
students to be tested for their mathematical competence. Aspirants are tested
for mathematical reasoning, precision of thought and fluency in basic
mathematical techniques to solve non-standard problems. It is targeted at the
top third pupils in English School years 9-11. She won the Gold Certificate for
the top six per cent of the candidates. |
This is part of our beautiful back garden. Well tended!
Clematis--- "The President." May 2007
Isaiah 51:3
The
LORD will comfort Israel again and make her deserts blossom.
Her barren wilderness will become as beautiful as Eden--the garden of the LORD.
It’s May 1st 2007, Jannine sits for her first GCSE today. It’s her French Oral.
Our back garden is already flourishing; the beauty commenced early this season. Photo to follow soon: Photo inserted above,see the beautiful purple flowers, "clematis"---it's also termed, "The President". Like our blessed garden may Jannine prosper successfully in her GCSE’s. Her last paper will be on June 15th, 2007 concluding with Physics and French reading and writing.
We will keep you posted when the results are published nation wide on the 23rd August 2007. Another miraculous event,part of the blessing, has developed since Jannine joined Old Palace School of John Whitgift in September 2005. For the first time in it’s entire 118 years history Old Palace School Whitgift Foundation have decided to offer a few scholarships at 50% based on overall Academic merit in reference to the Sixth Form. It has previously never offered any Academic Scholarships to the sixth form students. This year, 2007 it will be an interesting development if Jannine scoops this scholarship given the fact that she had to sacrifice her previous 50% academic scholarship with her former school St. Dunstan’s College. If there is any good news regarding this blessing then watch this space.
Just as a matter of interest we thought we let you know that in it’s previous era Old Palace School of John Whitgift was for 500 years the summer residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury. Loads of Christian heritage here, don't you agree? Furthermore from 1887 till 1975 The Community the Sisters Of The Church managed this school for educational enhancement. Surely lots of intercession and prayers must have been uttered for this school!
Archbishop John Whitgift (1583–1604) was the original founder of the now aptly named, The Whitgift Foundation. One article refers to him as perhaps Croydon's greatest benefactor. On 22nd March 2006 during the Annual Service to commemorate this renowned founder the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams attended and preached during this service. It’s normally celebrated at the Croydon Parish Church. It ought to be noted that six former Archbishops of Canterbury lie buried within this building It has also been stated that some of the country's most famous monarchs, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, visited and stayed around this building. The history goes back over 1,000 years. So remember you are walking on “hallowed” ground. This area is steeped in highly interesting history and oozes character.
Again during the year 2006 Old Palace welcomed a former Archbishop, Lord Carey to be the guest speaker at the Friends of the Old Palace Annual General Meeting. We pray that the blessing of the Garden of Eden be on Old Palace School too!!!!
Received this refreshing good news today- 23rd August 2007.
J
annine got her GCSE results today. God the Father maintains the blessing of the garden of Eden. It was excellent news.Isaiah 58 verse 11
The LORD will guide
you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will
strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring
whose waters never fail.
She managed to conquer her GCSE’s by securing a shining golden set of 10A*(stars) plus one taken last Summer, in June 2006: which makes 11A* in all.
These were for Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, English Literature, German, Latin, French and History. The A* (stars) also included Astronomy taken in June 2006.
A photographer from a local newspaper called the Croydon Advertiser is coming to see her tomorrow. Please do purchase the Croydon Advertiser of 31st of August 2007 to read the published article which includes a nice photograph!
We are ever grateful to our Living God, Christ Jesus for anointing her to achieve these high grades. Her Headmistress Judy Harris of Old Palace School of John Whitgift also sent a note today informing Jannine that she is delighted to offer her a top 50% Academic scholarship for years 12 and 13. ( Lower and Upper Six Form)
Breaking News 5th January 2009
Our daughter Jannine received an official letter from St. John’s College, Cambridge January 2009 stating that they are delighted to be able to tell her that she has been given a conditional offer of a place to read for a BA Honours degree in Law commencing October 2009.
We offer our highest congratulations to Jannine on her fine achievement. The conditions are tight and demanding. The Tutors are asking Jannine to get exemplary grades to secure a final place. Jannine informs us that this is a tough call. We are also increasingly realizing how very difficult it is now to secure a place at Cambridge. We had to remind her that the blessing of the Garden of Eden continues to overflow on her and the wisdom of the Holy Ghost will infill her. (Thank you Jesus). We will proclaim and decree the scriptures. We have encouraged Jannine to do her best in her A level subjects and our expectation is God the Father, the compassionate and merciful One will do the rest.
We will keep you posted on the final outcome. Meanwhile we will still say to her, well done! She has also received a conditional offer from the august London School of Economics again to read Law. For this we are also thankful!
We pray that she will be successful regarding her grades and will shine in a similar manner to the extraordinary accomplishments that her grand Uncle Mr. Benedict Ponniah fulfilled during his time at this prestigious Institution, St. Johns, Cambridge.
Press here to read Benedict Ponniah's accomplishments, (My Grandfathers nephew). Did Malaya miss out on an elite Malaysian becoming Secretary General of the United Nations.)Jannine's results published today-- 20th August 2009
From the above it is evidently very clear that St John's College, Cambridge insisted on Jannine receiving a minimum of 3 A stars for her A level subjects. Just being awarded an A grade was not sufficient for Cambridge. Jannine received 96% for Economics, 91% for Chemistry, Mathematics 89% and Latin 87%.
In securing 89% she missed her A* by one %. The sad feature here is that for Jannine, mathematics is her favourite subject and she really expected to do exceptionally well. Mr Malcolm Wilcock, who is the UCAS co-ordinator and Head of Oxbridge applications at Old Palace School of John Whitgift, had to send to Cambridge all her individual subject marks. Cambridge was very thorough in checking all the fine details.
At 6-30 pm we received this news:
Congratulations! Your place at University of Cambridge to study Law has been confirmed. You will receive a Confirmation Letter shortly. (Letter received today 22nd August 2009)In 2008 entry only 9 applicants were accepted from all over the world to read Law at St. John’s, Cambridge.
Some messages of congratulations regarding Jannine’s success.
a)
That is truly great news-what wonderful results. I will follow her future career with interest.
b)That is brilliant news, I am so
pleased for Jannine and you all, please pass on my congratulations for her

c) I wish Janine all the best and joy as she pursues her career in Law at Cambridge. We thank God for all His faithfulness and surely you must have worked hard and trusted the Lord to give you this success! I also know that He gives us power and wisdom for every success.
Keep praising the
Lord!!

The pictures below show St John’s College where Jannine is
presently an under-graduate. The full formal title is, “The Master, Fellows and
Scholars of the College of St. John the Evangelist in the University of
Cambridge.” The college was founded by the well known philanthropist Lady
Margaret Beaufort. It is set on the Backs of the River Cam
on one of the most beautiful sites in the city of Cambridge.
The College's
alumni comprises nine Nobel Prize winners, six Prime Ministers, three
archbishops, at least two princes and two saints. The current Prime
Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh, went to St John's.
The list also includes William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson - both men
were leading campaigners
against the slave trade.We need to mention Frederick Donald Coggan (Archbishop
of
Canterbury 1974-1980 and William Wordsworth (poet) too.
For the next Michaelmas Term commencing 1st October 2010 Jannine Nicholas won the vote and was nominated as Secretary to The Winfield Society 2010-2011.( Equivalent to the St. John’s College Law Society.) To achieve this position she had to write a personal manifesto and this was read by all the law undergraduates at St. John’s College.
May this also come to pass that soon we will be showered with a tremendous blessing . That a garden will materialize around us that will radiantly look and smell like these photographs below. We thank Ann B. Dodds from the United States of America for forwarding us these photographs. These gardens start as a vision and then they surely become a reality.
Habakkuk 2 verse 3b
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come and will not delay.
These photographs are from Butchart Gardens, British Columbia, Canada.
