- Report of the Meeting held by the Principal with parents of the ISC Section
On Monday, 18th January, the Principal , Mrs. S. George held a meeting with parents of Grades 11 and 12 with the objective of updating them with the activities in school and with the efforts taken by the school to provide the best possible education in the current scenario.
Soon after the announcement of lockdown, the school invested in G suite to enable seamless delivery of online lessons, access to educational material and conducting of examinations. The various activities included virtual orientation for parents, crowd funding activity to meet the SUPW requirements, career counselling sessions, SMUN and Scottish Spotlight. The syllabus for Grade 12 was planned such that it was completed in the first week of October. Throughout this time, our Principal updated parents through video and voice messages. Explaining the purpose behind holding exams on the campus, Mrs George pointed out the need for a paper and pen test on the campus to get a true picture of a student’s preparedness for an exam. On-campus exams would however be held subject to government directives. In all probability, another written pre board exam would be held after April 2021. Exams were planned keeping in mind the dates of various competitive exams. Parents were also given detailed instructions regarding the students' uniforms during the preliminary exams, method of sealing envelopes containing the answer papers,and dropping them to school.
The meeting ended with a question answer session.
