26th September 2017

Dear parents and students,

This is to confirm that BWIC will be amending its school calendar to recover much of the period lost to hurricanes Irma and Maria.

The process begins this week, with normal classes on Friday (29th September, National Youth Day).

The rest of the calendar will be made public following a meeting with all BWIC teachers tomorrow.

We believe that while the changes might cause inconvenience to some families’ travel plans, by making the changes proposed we will recover a lot of the face-to-face teaching and learning time that is so crucial, especially to students due to take Cambridge examinations later in the year. Some families who already have their travel arrangements set will be unable to change dates; this is unfortunate, but understandable. 

Thank you for your continued support.

With best wishes,
Anthony Wilkinson
Vice-Principal, British West Indies Collegiate
