Dear Parents, I trust you all had a restful Spring break and that you and your children had a valuable moment to relax together before the push to the end of this school year, just 8 weeks from now. Just before the break, our Seniors had a grueling 6 days of exams designed to give them a taste of the real IB exams just around the corner. The session went well and should help the students to identify their weaknesses so that they can work on them and strive for a more complete understanding of the subject matter. The Grade 12 IB exams start on Tuesday May 4th and run until Monday May 24th. Just a reminder; the IB English exams have been scheduled for Monday May 10th - this is an unfortunate clash with the holiday for Presidential Election Day but this date was set by the IB Organization and one which all schools, world-wide, who run the IB program must adhere to. Speaking of exams, students in grade 9, 10 and 11 also have these to look forward to! The grade 9s and 10s will sit theirs on Tuesday May 4th and Wednesday May 5th. The grade 11s have theirs from Thursday May 6th, to Wednesday May 12th with the long weekend splitting them into two sessions. Here’s a summary of the Grade 9, 10 and 11 exam schedules. Date Tuesday 4 May Wednesday 5 May Thursday 6 May Friday 7 May Tuesday 11 May Morning Mathematics 9 (all levels) Geography 10 History 10 Integrated Science 9 Chemistry 10 Mathematics 11 (all levels) All Modern Languages 11 Afternoon Mathematics 10 (all levels) Geography 9 History 9 Physics 10 Chemistry / Physics 10 English 11 (all levels) Biology 11

ATTENTION: CHANGE IN PROCEDURE
Dear Parents: Every year we have to deal with the administrative burden of trying to collect from parents the $1000 Re-enrollment Deposit. This is difficult for many parents, especially those whose fees are paid by the sponsoring company, and more difficult still for the school trying to collect from parents, especially those who are not sure of their circumstances. This year we shall try something different. There will be no re-enrollment deposit. Instead, we shall expect all departing families to complete the WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION FORM on or before May 15th. Failure to do so will lead to a deduction of $1,000.00 from the Facilities Upgrade Deposit. As I am sure you understand, we at school face considerable pressure from families applying to enter their children into ISM. We have to establish the May 15th deadline in order for us to be fair to those families on our waitlist. The earlier you can tell us that you are leaving school, the sooner we can provide clear answers to in-coming families. Sincerely Yours, David Toze Superintendent
