Assessments:
At the end of each term students have assessments covering the material that has been taught over that period. These exams are done under exam conditions. The final grade for each term is calculated by taking into consideration the continuous assessments and the term exam grade.
Extra – Curricular Activities (PEP)
For the holistic development of our students, the teachers offer a wide variety of activities for the students to choose from. The students can enhance their skills or choose something new that they would like to explore and learn. These activities are offered once a week in term 1 and term 2.
