EDUCATION – EXAMS
The staff want to appeal to parents to please next week (2 – 6 November) whilst there are no extra mural activities to draw up a study plan for their children and to encourage them to start studying for the exams on a daily basis. Please supervise and monitor the studying in the evenings. For some learners this will be their last chance in order to be promoted to the next grade. Please ensure that transport collects children on time. I would appreciate it if we don’t have any learners on the premises after 14:30.
I would like to stress the importance of the forthcoming exams and appeal for them to be taken seriously by learners and parents. Thanking you in advance.
