Dear Parent s,

Our Grade 9 and 10 exams will be next Thursday and Friday. I have asked for all teachers to make sure they

spend at least one class of revision and to also ensure t hat each student has access to review materials.

know that the Grade 9 students will stress out about these first set of exams, however with good preparation

and planning will come the requisite success! For Grade 11 students they will have exams all next week. With

Seniors already taking their IB exams it wi ll be quiet and serious place next week!

Please make sure your child: Studies well wit h a good revision schedule.

Eats, sleeps and exercises properly during the exam period.

Arri ve early t o all exams so that they are not held up in Manila traff ic.

As I wri te this art icle I am j ust about to head off to the PTA end of year Despedida, designed to t hank staf

and faculty and to farewell departing teachers. It is of course that time of year when we begin the process o

signing out . I hope to see as many of you as possibl e at our upcoming HS Academic and Service Awards

Graduat ion and Honors Societ ies Celebrat ion.

As usual at this time I would like to take this opportunity to thank all parents who have directly or indirectlysupport ed the High School t his year. Parent part icipat ion in ISM High School events has never been st ronge

and I am sure that this has been a significant contributor to our success in academics and in the cultural and

sporting arenas. Whether it was your involvement in PTA, a committee, attending Parent Coffees, on the

sport field or court, or providing encouragement to our performing arts, I really do want to state ou

appreciation for your ongoing support. Our programs would not be as rich and as successful without you

involvement.

Kind regards

William R. S. Brown
