ASSESSMENT

In the primary level, assessment is a continuous process and is carried out through teacher observation, discussion, and marking written work. Annual assessment is done for Reading levels, Numeracy, and Language skills. School Reports are issued at the end of each semester and formal Parent/ Teacher meetings take place once each semester.

For the secondary level, the regular assessment of student's work is considered crucial to the education process. Depending on the lesson, two or three formal written exams are given each half year. In addition, a series of short tests are given throughout the year and most assignment and practical work is marked and graded. All graded work is accumulated and this together with the examination result determines the final grade for the year. Promotion to the next class is based on the total performance for the year.

Parents and teachers meet twice each half year at open meetings to discuss student's progress. Parents may make appointments at other times to discuss any immediate concerns and teachers will contact parents if there are any problems regarding a students work or behaviour. Full reports are issued at the end of each semester and parents can meet teachers when collecting the report.
