MYP Highlights (APR/MAY 24)

The MAP tests for MYP 1-3 will be conducted on the 2nd to 4th of April. The results from the previous MAP test made us introduce the reading club. We hope that some improvement will be seen in the next MAP test. Students are not expected to read anything to prepare for this test as it is an assessment for learning that sheds light into what level of learning students are, gaps in their knowledge and what areas we may need to focus on for each student.

The schedule is below: 

2nd of April: Mathematics 3rd of April: English Language reading and Usage 4th of April: Science.

The MYP 1-4 3-Way conference will be held on the Tuesday 9th of April. It is a no school day for all students. Students are to come along with their parents at the scheduled time and present their learning journey, challenges and support needed. A new feature added to their presentations is the overview of goals slide. This slide encourages students to reflect on the goals they set for themselves in the previous semester, and state whether the goal has been completed or not. It finally guides them to set new goals or continue with the previous goals then finally, set clear action plans to achieve the set goals.

Although the MYP 3 students completed their subject selection meetings in March, they will be taken through a series of workshops to prepare them adequately for MYP 4-5, the last 2 years of the MYP. This orientation will take place after their final examinations in May.  Hence, parents are not advised to plan summer holiday trips anytime before the school’s vacation date.

The Wellbeing Division is organising another edition of this year’s “Exams Cafe” for Year 11 students. The ARIS Exam Cafe is an intervention that focuses on reducing stress through providing strategies for time management, relaxation and healthy goal-setting. This program is to provide our students with the necessary preparatory nuggets for their exams and also to support their mental health and wellbeing during their examining year.

The sessions include: 

  • Exam Eagles: De-Stressing and team bonding with Mm Priscilla
