DP/CP End of Unit Assessment
The end-of-semester examination will begin on November 20, 2023. 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.
Please note that after the examinations, Year 12 will resume regular lessons on Monday, November 27, 2023, whereas Year 13 will resume regular lessons on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.
Students are advised to prepare adequately for the examination; Year 12 students are supposed to revise all topics that have been taught this semester, while Year 13 students focus on key topics taught throughout the Diploma Programme. For Year 13s, this examination will serve as a pre-mock examination to identify topic areas that require further support before the actual mock examinations in February 2024.
While taking the examinations, students are required to adhere to all examination rules and regulations. Students in breach of examination rules will have their papers cancelled with no opportunity for a retake. No borrowing of stationery will be allowed during the examination; therefore, students are strongly advised to come fully prepared with pens, pencils, an eraser and sharpener, a calculator with an additional battery in case of any unforeseen circumstance, a maths set and a long rule.
Finally, we humbly appeal to all parents to support us from home by removing any distractions that may adversely impact your ward’s independent study time.
Kindly find the end of semester examination timetables attached for Year 12 and Year 13.

Math Vacation Classes for Year 13
Students in Year 13 will be attending Maths lessons during vacation from 8:00 a.m. – 2:00p.m from December 18 – 20, 2023. These sessions have been put in place to ensure that students cover more aspects of the syllabus early to give them adequate time for revision. Please ensure that your ward attends these sessions and kindly provide enough snacks for them as they will not be allowed to order food from outside. As such, students will have access to the fridge and microwaves in school.
