On 23rd April, Primary School had a fun day to mark the end of the 1st half of Term 3. Students prepared snacks and dressed up in the bright and beautiful colours of Ramadan to celebrate the beginning of the holy month. With fun activities and a light day, students enjoyed their virtual celebration with friends.

This week has been an exciting beginning to the 2nd half of Term 3 for us! We look forward to more exciting and fun learning opportunities for our children.

Dear Parents, Guardians and Learners,

I hope that this message finds you in good health and high spirits. With the assessments beginning next week, I would like to write to provide some reminders as well as to thank all members of our school’s community for their positivity and contributions to this process.

Firstly, I would like to advise some additional information regarding the procedures for the start of the assessment, as well as to remind learners of certain expectations.

• Google Meet links for assessments will be sent via Google Classroom at the entry time.
• The Assessment Papers will be generated for those who are present, at the start time.
• All learners should be able to share their screen quickly during the assessment, on the Google Meet application. When asked, learners should share their screen immediately and should wait until instructed to stop sharing, use their device or continue their assessment. The time used for screen checks will be added at the end of the assessment.
• All learners should be able to use CamScanner. Please ensure they have practiced:
  • Taking clear pictures.
  • Converting to PDF via the app.
  • Uploading to Google Classroom.

Please be reminded that learners, or parents/guardians, should have completed the Google Form entitled, “ASCS 2019/2020: Online End of Course Assessments - Procedures and Guidelines Agreement”. Additionally, please check the ASCS 2019/20: End of Course Assessment Student Timetable, as there are some slight changes that have been made.

Finally, I would like to say to our learners that I hope they do extremely well on their upcoming assessments, and that they are in a position where they feel prepared and positive. I once again encourage all learners to try their best, and to ensure that they are demonstrating values that we all aspire towards; motivation, integrity and honesty.

Respectfully yours,

Mr. Harvey Furniss

Assistant Head of Secondary (Attainment and Progress)
