Class of 2016: Exam instructions

There are only 4 school days left until the exam week starts and students should already be well ahead with their preparation. The revised timetable can be seen below, and the topic list (now with correct Maths topics!) and exam instructions can be found on separate pages (select from the tabs above).

The remaining days will be spent revising with teachers and so it is crucial that students attend school, including on 22nd and 23rd March, despite the US president's visit to El Salvador. We expect minimal disruption, if any, and so will expect all students in lessons.

Good luck in the exams Grade 7!

Class of 2016: Outstanding!

The word outstanding has more than one meaning... it can mean excellent, and it is in this way that I use it for the first news of this post; but can also mean overdue, as is the case for the second item!

Maths Counts - Outstanding performances!

A number of grade 6-8 ABC students competed against schools from around Central America last week in the Maths Relay competition. All of the participants did us proud but a special mention must go to the team who won. First place went to an ABC team, made up of 8 students, 2 of whom are from grade 7: Andrea Osegueda and Andres Butter - congratulations, a great achievement. Competition continued the following day with Maths Counts. Again an ABC team took first place - this time a team of 4... 3 grade 8s plus grade 7s Andres Butter who will now have the opportunity to compete in the next round, which will be held in Mexico! Good luck Andres!
