Bandung International School Secondary School Semester 2 Exam Schedule 26 May 2014 Dear Parents and Students, This letter is a reminder of our upcoming Secondary School Exams. Starting 10 June, students from Grades 6-11 will be writing their Semester 2 Exams. The Exam schedule runs for three days and will replace our regularly scheduled classes. This means that students will need to arrive and leave school at different times. Students are requested to only be in school during their scheduled exams. If they are not writing exams they should be at home preparing for their next exam. This also helps us to ensure that there are few distractions during exam time. We kindly ask that you do not plan holiday time from 10-12 June as it is difficult for us to re-schedule exams. While demonstrating new knowledge is an important part of our exam system, the exams are meant to be more than simply repeating memorized information. Students will also be expected to demonstrate skills and concepts. This could mean performing an experiment in Science, solving a new problem in Mathematics, or analyzing literature in English. When preparing for a skills/concepts-based exam, practice is the best studying technique. Students should request practice material from their teachers if this is the case. Although we would ask your help to ensure that students take the exams seriously and that they are well prepared, we would also like to ask you to be aware of exam related stress. The best remedy for stress is to be prepared ahead of time. Our exams are not meant to be overly stressful and are weighted in a reasonable way. If you notice excessive stress from your child, please contact me. Do not hesitate to contact me or any of your child’s teachers if you have questions regarding the upcoming exams. The following pages contain the exam schedule. Thank you for the continued support of your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Steve Church Secondary Principal
