English International School Newsletter of the 11th May 2026

Dear Parents,

Kindly note the following information as we approach the halfway point in our third term:

Public holiday: Thursday, 14th May - Ascension

Cambridge International Examinations: IGCSE and AS/A-Level; Checkpoint – Years 6 and 9

The IGCSE and AS/A-Level Examination period has begun and will end on 9th June.

External Primary and Lower Secondary Checkpoint Examinations for Year 6 and Year 9 have started, and are being held during the period of 11th through 21st May.

You may consult the Cambridge 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.

Although we are in the ‘final stretch’ of the academic year, and in quite a busy period with examinations, end of year and next year’s preparations, etc., I once again remind you of teachers’ and my availability to meet with parents, individually, should any questions or concerns arise. If you wish to meet, kindly call the school secretary to arrange an appointment, which will be set up at our earliest convenience. We welcome your input and feedback, and we count on your collaboration to maintain a healthy and productive learning environment for our children.

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 for a short walk to and from the classroom. Traffic instructions for school drop-off and pick-up must still be followed.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
