Adrian Moody Head of Campus Secondary NewsDear Parents,Keeping busy to the end
Although students and teachers are understandably looking towards assessment week (25-29 May) and the challenge of a week of end-of-year assessments, that is not the end of the year! More learning and more activities will be going on afterwards! The following week, the M4 class will travel to West Kilimanjaro (2-5 June) to study the geography and economics of the area. The M2 class will journey to Moshi for their "In Control" culminating activity, being in control of a Kindy Fun Day. The week after that, the M1 class will show off their physical and design patterns in a Fashion Show culminating activity, while the M5's will head off to the Moshi area for an end-of-year trip. Throw in an M5 Art exhibition, a Shakespeare performance, and all the regular classroom adventures, and the students will be actively learning right through June.
