Academic Calendar

Two terms, published examination dates, scheduled parent–teacher meetings and a fixed set of events — issued to parents at the start of the year.

The academic year runs from June to April in two terms. The full calendar — teaching days, examinations, holidays, parent–teacher meetings and events — is issued to every family in the first week and does not change except for a public-holiday adjustment.
