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

September 22

Students are becoming more familiar with their new timetables, classmates, and moving from class to class. Attendance is improving, but remember you must go directly to your class; coming in late disturbs the students who made the effort to show up on time. It is best to be respectful of others.

The dates for the first CEPA exam sitting have not been published, but as soon as they are, I will post the information here.

Several students have missed the first couple of weeks of school, therefore I am setting up links to some worksheets that other students have already completed. These sheets are to be completed and put into your ecart file.

If you miss a day of school. remember we will be working on English that day. To catch up, please check to see if any worksheets or assignments were given that day.

You are responsible for any work you have missed.

Welcome Back to School 2013-2014

Welcome back to Al Qua'a Boy's School for the 2013- 2014 school year. This website has been set up to facilitate communication between Mr Kim and his students and the parents of his students.

I will be including infromation about school events and what the boys are doing in class.

I will also include files of the handouts and worksheets the boys are given in class. This will allow them to be sure to have a complete ecart to hand in.

If a student or parent has a question, please post it on the site and I will answer it as soon as possible.

This week we are beginning the new semester. The grade 11 students are studying :"A Healthy Society" and the grade 12 students are studying "Careers and Future Choices"

June 25- Last Post for this School Year

Well classes are over and school is done (unless you are resitting an exam). I hope everyone has a great summer. I will be returning in September and will again be teaching the Grade 11 classes.

I have had an interesting and exciting 6 months in Al Qua'a and I hope next year is even better.

If you have a friend or family member in grade 10, please let them know about this website so they know where to go for information about my classes next year.
