Registration of Candidates (Year 12)

Students in Year 12 will be required to fill a pre-registration form and submit the data page of their passports for the official registration of their May 2024 examination session. Please ensure that your ward’s passport has not expired, and if there is going to be a change or addition to your ward’s name, kindly notify us with supporting documentation.


Mock Examination (Year 13)

The Year 13 Mock examination will commence fromMonday, February 27, 2023, and continue till Friday, March 10, 2023. During this period, students are encouraged to be punctual to the examination hall and be seated 15 minutes (7:45 a.m.) before the commencement of each examination. The protocols for the official IB examination will be adhered to with respect to timings of papers, access arrangements, notice to candidates and actions that are considered as academic misconduct. Students must comply with all examination rules and regulations, or have their papers cancelled if they are found in breach of these regulations. The timetable for the examination has been shared below:

Mock Examination Timetable

Notice to candidates

Academic Misconduct

Students who are absent during the examination period for any reason including health conditions will not have the opportunity to reseat the mock examination. This is in accordance with the May 2023 examination regulations.

Once an examination is over, you may pick up your ward immediately or have them study at school till closing. If your ward does not have an examination on a particular day, they are permitted to study from home or come to school. 

Please note that after the examinations, Year 13 students will resume work on their internal assessments on the last day of the mock examination, March 10, 2023. If your ward does not have a paper on the last day of the mock examination, they are expected to attend school to complete any outstanding IAs.

Finally, we humbly appeal to all parents to support us from home by removing any distractions that may adversely impact your wards independent study time. 


Extended Lessons for Year 13

After the mock examinations, Year 13 students will have a special timetable that runs for 2 hours for each block. This schedule will enable us to administer standardised tests that align with the final examination for the May 2023 examination.

Year 13 Class Trip

Usually, after every mock examination, final year students embark on a one-night/two-night trip with their programme coordinators to de-stress and prepare for their May 2023 official examinations. We are planning a trip in March for the final year students and we hope to give you an update before the end of January. We humbly request that all parents encourage their wards to attend this trip as it will be their final one as a class.
