The homework schedule for all MYP 1 students is below. Parents are advised to focus on the tasks and deadlines portion of their Managebac application to support students in completing pending tasks.

MYP 2 and 3 students also have a similar homework schedule that will be shared. However, assignments are meant to have at least 4 to 7 days intervals before submission.

Learning Applications & Learning Devices

All students have been added to our various learning applications and a survey has been sent to all students to ensure that they are logged in to them and are not facing any challenges. 

Students are to come along with their laptops and chargers every day to school. Learning is affected when students come to school with laptops that are not fully charged from home. It means they will have to spend some time in the first lesson of the day charging their devices. Also, tablets are usually not allowed in secondary school because they do not work well with some learning websites. Hence, we request that if your ward does not currently own a laptop, he/she must be provided with one. See the device guide for more details.

MYP 4-5

Math Clinics and Language Acquisition Clinics

Some MYP 4 extended maths students have been selected to join Math clinic every Monday to get the support needed before their first summative assessment. Also, MYP 5 students have begun to receive support in Math in preparation  for their assessments in May. Parents are implored to ensure that arrangements are put in place to pick their wards up at 4:30 on Mondays.
