English International School Newsletter of the 23rd June 2025

Dear Parents,

The academic year 2024 – 2025 is drawing to a close. Please note the following information:

Cambridge International Examinations

The results for externally moderated Cambridge Checkpoint Examinations for Years 6 and 9 are out, and they are outstanding overall, being significantly above the international average, with most in the Outstanding and High range. Students were given their Statements of Achievement on Friday. Parents will be contacted to retrieve their children’s official certificates once they will have arrived in school from Cambridge, U.K. Congratulations are in order for the students and teachers.

IGCSE and AS/A-level results are to be released in August. Years 11 – 13 students are aware of how to retrieve their results.

You may consult the Cambridge International Education website for detailed information on Cambridge Exams.

E.I.S. Sports Days

Early Years, Lower School, and Middle and Upper Schools will have their Sports Day activities this week, with fun games, athletic challenges and music, weather permitting. We thank our Student Council for their organisation of the activities with Class Teachers.

E.I.S. Yearbook

The 2024 – 2025 Yearbook is soon to be out. Orders made with payment will be honoured. Students of the Yearbook Committee have put in hard work, and we thank them for their efforts in completing the task before the end of the year.

International Abacus Olympiad

We congratulate E.I.S. children who took part in this online mental maths competition. We have just received word from the International Abacus Olympiad Foundation of their “exceptional performance.”

Last Day of Term / Prize Giving for Years 3 – 13: Friday, 27th June, Chinese Cultural Centre

We close out the academic year on this day, and invite you to a farewell ceremony (from 10:00 – 12:00), during which we reflect on the academic year, award prizes and wish our university bound students good luck. We will ask parents to kindly take their children directly to the Chinese Cultural Centre by 9:30.

Please note that the last day of school for Playschool through Year 2 children will be on Thursday, 26th June.

School Uniform and Equipment

Whilst looking ahead to the next academic year, please refer to the school website’s Uniform and Equipment section to make sure that your child will be appropriately attired and adequately prepared.

The school calendar for Academic Year 2025 – 2026 is out and should be consulted when making travel plans. Please note that the next academic year will begin on Tuesday, 16th September 2025.

I wish you, in advance, a pleasant, safe and healthy holiday, and thank you for your cooperation and support throughout the school year.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky
