The 2014/2015 application cycle started on October 20, 2013. Please make sure to fill in the on-line application at www.mohesr.gov.ae/napo/2014 as soon as possible not to lose the chance to sit for the CEPA-English exam, which is one of the admission requirements.

Many grade 12 students have been asking about when the CEPA test will be scheduled. It looks like they will only be sitting these exams in March and May of next year. The information we have received seems to indicate that there will not be one in November of this year. This gives all those who want to take this test, some extra time to practice on the MOCK Exams I have supplied you with.

Make sure you are keeping your eCart files in order and that your Title Page is up to date. In about 2-3 weeks I will be taking them in for marks. Soon we will be finished the ISTs and then the projects will be presented.

With the changes in the schedule and the switching of students in classes over EID it has been a challenge to stay on track, but most of you are managing. Remember to attend all your classes, and please be on time. When you are late, it disrupts the learning of the other students.

We are halfway through the first trimester. Keep doing your work, reading your assignments and soon we will have the Winter Break.

Remember that there will be Parent Teacher meetings on October 30th.
Here are the new files, if you need them.

First ISTs due this week

October 1
Students should be building up their ecarts (file folders) so they will have evidence that they have been working and achieving in class.  The first ISTs are due by the end of this week. I have included the files we have worked on for the last 2 weeks. If you have missed any classes, be sure to print out any worksheets you might have missed.

All Al Quaa cycle 3 students, who are citizens of the UAE, are to be taking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and that means they must wear their sports clothing. If they do not have the proper clothing, they are to join the other students in their English class.

There still has been no information as to when the CEPA exam is to take place. As soon as I find out, I will communicate the dates to the students
