English International School Newsletter of the 28th April 2022

Dear Parents,

I am pleased to greet you on Pay it Forward Day. This global initiative on the 28th of April aims to open the hearts of people across the globe and change the world for better. At school, we are focusing on how small acts and kind words can make a difference in people’s lives and create a ripple effect. We also remind one another that we can pay it forward on any day of the year.

Kindly note the following information to include in our busy month of May:

Cambridge Examinations

The Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level Examination period began on 26th April and will end on 10th June. Years 11, 12 and 13 students have received the timetable for these exams. The internally moderated Cambridge Progression Tests in English, Maths and Science for Years 3 – 5 and 7 and 8 will be held from 30th May – 3rd June. You may consult the Cambridge Assessment International Education website for detailed information on Cambridge exams.

It is important to note that the end of examinations does not mean the end of school and studies. The academic year will end on the half-day of 30th June.

Rainy Season

The rainy season is upon us, bringing along a refreshing coolness. As many of you know, rains can be quite heavy during the months of May and June. I would like to remind you to ensure that your children are adequately prepared with rain gear.

The school calendar for Academic Year 2022 – 2023 is now out. You may consult the school website for next year’s information and events. Hard copies of the calendar are also available in the secretary’s office. When making travel plans, please note that the next academic year will begin on Wednesday, 14th September 2022.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky
