HEADS OF GRADE

Grade 11

Hello Grade 11 students and parents, Another term of your DP is complete, congratulations on making it this far!

I hope you have taken some time to reflect on your most recent report card and any changes to your study habits you needed to make, have been implemented already. Reminders to keep on your radar: for CAS you should have each CAS strand demonstrated at least once. Reflections and evidence should be up to date for each of your experiences. Any completed experiences, you need to have the supervisor review done and you mark it complete. For EE: now that reflection 1 is complete, you will have some new advice from your supervisors to help with your outline which will be due in June.

Our final term in Grade 11 will be full on with preparation for mock exams at the end of May, so please ensure you are taking some time to rest during spring break. I hope you all enjoy the break and see you all in 2 weeks!

OK, Class of 2023 we are nearing the Finish Line! IAs are submitted, CAS is completed and there is only one more major hurdle, but it is a big one. Final exams. How are you preparing? What your plans? Will you cram day and night? Will you not study at all? Will you lock yourselves in your room and read over all of your notes from the past 2 years? However you study best is for you to decide. What is imperative though, are a few simple must have’s.

1. No matter what, you must eat something.

2. You must take breaks and find brief moments of social interaction, aside from your revision.

3. Rest, rest, rest! Tired minds don’t retain much.

Enjoy your spring breaks seniors, but accomplish a little day-by-day. This will make exam time manageable. There is no glory in cramming.

Ramadan Mubarak!
