Dear all,
Welcome to another edition of the Secondary Newsletter! A new week brings renewed energy and exciting opportunities for our students and school community.
We firstly would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to our Grade 12 ACT students for successfully completing their ACT Scaling Test in the last two days. Well done to them!
We are now in Week 7, with just two weeks remaining in the term. As we approach the end, here are a few important reminders and upcoming events:
Grade 9 & 11 Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-Teacher Conferences for Grades 9 and 11 will take place next week from Monday, 1st September to Wednesday, 3rd September.
- Each student will receive an appointment slip to fill out in consultation with their subject teachers.
- Students are responsible for scheduling appropriate meeting times with their teachers.
- We kindly ask parents to mark these dates and attend the conference sessions.
- If you’re unable to attend during the scheduled week, please contact the school office or Head of Campus in advance to arrange an alternative time.
Boarding students will not participate in these conferences, as the school maintains regular communication with boarding parents directly.
