English International School Newsletter of the 28th March 2024

Dear Parents,

Tomorrow we shall come to the end of our second term and will look forward to a busy and fulfilling third term when classes resume on Thursday, 4th April. Please note that tomorrow, 29th March, will be a half-day at school. Classes will end at 11:45 a.m.

We remind you of the following information for your diaries:

Cambridge Externally Moderated Examinations

External Primary and Lower Secondary Checkpoint Examinations for Year 6 and Year 9 will be held from 22nd - 25th April. (Mock examinations, to familiarise children with the process, have been held this week.)

Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-level Examinations will begin on 25th April and run through 13th June. Students in Years 11 – 13 have received their exam timetables.

DELF (Département de Langue Française) Exams – Institut Français

DELF exams begin next month, with different dates scheduled depending on your registration. E.I.S. French teachers have provided information at school, along with encouraging participation to receive this qualification awarded by the French Ministry of Education. Further information regarding these exams may be obtained at the Institut Français.

After-School Activities

Third term after-school activities will begin on Monday, 8th April. Please consult the school website to see the array of activities which are available. We encourage participation in activities to broaden students’ horizons, provide relaxation and socialisation outside the classroom, and to enable them to nurture talents and skills.

Class Timetables

Attendance and participation in all lessons on your child’s timetable (including physical education, music, etc.) are required. Exemption from a lesson at a given time, due to a valid reason, must be requested by means of a note from a parent or guardian.

We extend our best wishes in this season of Easter and Ramadan.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
