English International School Newsletter of the 26th November 2024

Dear Parents,

As the end of the first term is drawing near and the holiday season is soon to be upon us, we would like to extend our compliments of the season to all. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, which is a day to be celebrated this Thursday in America, we express our gratitude for a smooth and vibrant first term.

Please consider the following information and reminders for your diaries:

Collection Basket

As we think of those who are not as fortunate as we are, we prepare items to donate to a local orphanage. If you have good quality used clothes or toys, please gather them together to bring to school from 2nd - 11th December. Baskets will be placed in front of the administration building and at the Middle and Lower Schools for collection. Donations of dried food items, such as rice, beans and other grains are also accepted.

Mock Examinations, Years 11 – 13

Mock IGCSE and AS/A-level examinations will be held from 4th – 11th December. Letters have gone out to the parents of students involved, and exam timetables have been distributed.

Reports Out and Child Progress Conferences

Reports will go out on Wednesday, 11th December. Teachers will set times with parents for Child Progress Conferences to be held either in school, by phone or virtually.

Preparing for next term

In preparing for next term, I refer you to the Uniform and Equipment section of our school website. Please devote ample time to making sure that your child has the correct uniform and footwear, and that your child will be ready to come to school neatly dressed and groomed. It is important to note that certain hair attachments/styles are not appropriate for school and could be hazardous when working in the science laboratory. We continue to recommend reusable water flasks for students, which are more practical and environmentally friendly. All students should come to school with a water bottle of appropriate size.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
