Celebrating Progress in Kiswahili

We hope this newsletter finds you well and that you are proud of your child's progress in Kiswahili class. It has been three years since the Kiswahili syllabus changed. These changes have brought about significant benefits for our students and opened up new avenues for their success in the subject.

One of the key advantages of this new syllabus is that it allows students to excel in various skills. For instance, if the student struggles with paper 1, which involves reading and writing, they can still boost their grade by performing well on paper 2, which focuses on listening skills. A speaking test is also part of the curriculum and provides a unique opportunity for students to showcase their oral competency. However, it is graded separately.

I am glad that each KS3 student has found their niche and understands the areas they need to improve upon as they receive teacher support.

With the end of year examinations now behind us, we turn our attention to the upcoming International Day scheduled for July 3rd. We have various presentations planned, including songs, poems, and special dress codes. We encourage you to join us and celebrate cultural diversity together!

Warm regards,

Rachel Simon
