Dear parents/ caretakers,

The upcoming period is marked by the first test week for our lower classes, the second test week for the higher classes, and of course also the SEs for the exam classes. All in all, a very busy study period for all students.

In early December you will receive the first report card. Around this period you will also receive an invitation to speak to the student's mentor, if desired.

After the test week, part of our upper secondary classes will further prepare for their Cambridge certificate, and we will finally end the year with a well-deserved Christmas dinner and then the Christmas vacation.

But, before all of this is about to happen, some serious studying will have to be done! We wish all students the best of luck in their preparations for their upcoming tests!

After 3 long years of absence, we were able to organize another great Haunted House. The reactions were very positive. This of course would only have been possible with the help of the student council, the Halloween committee and a lot of inspired teachers and students.

Our Arts & Craft teacher made a significant contribution, with the help of a number of students, and showed how creative we can be at our school. This creativity was also reflected in the beautiful costumes and creepy masks of both students and colleagues.

During the well-visited evening, it was also possible to enjoy hot dogs, soft drinks, music, and a cool light show, next to a visit to the Haunted House obviously.

The next Haunted House is planned for 2024 and will definitely turn out to be just as scary a spectacle.

This week we finalized the applications for the yearly Cambridge exam. Students of classes 4HV, 5H, and 56V, who have made the decision to take this exam, will prepare for either the FCE or the CAE exam, together with their English teacher.

The oral part of the exams will start on December 8, after which the written part will take place on December 10.

You might have noticed that the Facebook posts concerning the College have increased.

In the past week, there have been daily updates on all Spirit Week outfits in Facebook Stories. There are also regular posts about the different events that take place at school. Keep an eye out for updates on Schakel College!
