Class Changes
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs Catherine Smith as a temporary Teacher of English to Yrs 7, 8, and 9. Mrs Smith is a well-qualified and experienced English teacher based in the UK. She will teach these classes online for the remainder of Michaelmas Term. A search for a permanent, full-time replacement has begun locally and internationally. 
 
Half-Term Holiday
As shown in the school calendar, Monday 26th to Friday 30th October is our Half-Term Holiday. There will be no classes on campus or online next week.

School Exams
A reminder that there will be no formal school exams for students in Years 7, 8, 9, or 10 during the November assessment period shown in the school calendar. Assessments for Years 11, 12, and 13 will take place immediately after half term in the form of one-hour, class-based tests, to be arranged by the teacher.TCI Government will be reviewing its ‘Return to School’ road map on 30th October. Our ‘return to school’ schedule will, of course, be guided by whatever decisions TCI Government takes. We still envisage Year 10 returning to on-campus classes (2.00PM to 4.00PM) from Monday 2nd November. Years 7-10 students should expect some baseline testing to take place once they return to school. At present, Years 7-9 are due to return to school from 4thJanuary.

School Uniform
Parents are reminded that our students are not required to wear uniforms until the whole school returns to ‘new normal’ classes in January. In the meantime, students may wear casual, BUT APPROPRIATE, clothing ensuring that it is clean every day. Clothing that is extremely tight-fitting or revealing is not permitted, nor are t-shirts or sweaters with indecent or acceptable images or logos. Sports shoes may be worn; beach footwear or open-toed sandals may not. All students must wear socks, and these must cover the ankles. Our normal regulations apply to hairstyle, hair length, and items of jewelry.
Thank you for your collaboration as we uphold health and safety standards. 

With best regards,
Mr Anthony Wilkinson, Vice-Principal
