Ramadan Kareem!  Now that we have graduated our grade 12 students and celebrated the achievements of our grade 10 students, we look forward to a smooth end of the school year. Please read through the remaining details below. 

This week includes exams for Y7-11 from Mon-Weds. We have no school Thursday, and regular classes again on Friday- except for students finishing language exams. Coming up we have the Y6-7 transition on June 8 and 9, and the Y 10-11 Transition activities on June 11-15. See the MYP and DP sections below.

DP

Year 10 Transition to DP

 We are going to have Year 10 transition programme on June 12-15, 2017. The first two days (12-13 June) include the brainstorming for alumni and their preparation (including creating a lesson plan and prepare teaching materials) for the Year 10 class that they will teach. So in these two days Year 10 students are having their normal classes.


In the following days (14-15 June 2017), Year 10 students will have special schedule for them to be introduce to the DP subjects and their requirements. So Year 10 will not have their normal classes on 14-15 June. We use the current Year 12 schedule for this purpose with few additional sessions, such as CAS, EE, TOK and the university experience and relevancy to IB sessions. All of these classes will be conducted and led by our alumni so teacher does not have to be there.

MYP

Year 6 to Y7 transition day will be Thursday June 8 and Friday June 9. Y 7 will not have regular classes. The Transition will culminate in the 'Taking a Stand' assembly Friday afternoon June 9. See the SSS for more communication.
