I feel it is VITAL this year that we have proper exams and proper marks to reflect the true ability and standing of our students. I do not want another year like last year. To this end I have mapped out a strategy for the Senior Department that includes FOUR sets of exams between now and the end of June 2021. I have communicated that strategy to the senior students in a video. However, above every strategy the maxim always remains : student and staff safety is paramount.
Due to the fact that 2 of the 3 classes that were due to take online/inschool exams over the next two Saturdays are self isolating due to COVID-19, I feel taking online only exams will be a waste of time at the moment. Therefore, I am postponing the exams until after the Christmas Break when we can go back to having the students physically present in school.
The ONLY classes for whom exams will continue as normal over the next two Saturdays is 11A and 12A.
