CAC High School Principal’s Notes
Last Friday, we held a fantastic graduation ceremony once again at the pyramids. This marked the 76th year that CAC has held its graduation ceremony at this iconic location. Even after all this time, the majesty of the event has not faded—it truly is a fittingly impressive location to celebrate the graduation of such an impressive group of students. We are very proud indeed of our seniors and we wish the Class of ’24 good luck as they embark on their educational journeys beyond CAC.
Back on campus, exams got started today and have been progressing as expected. Students in grades 9 to 11 are demonstrating their learning from the last semester and will continue to do so through the rest of this week. For most students, Thursday will be the last formal day of exams with the following Sunday (9th) being set aside for students who missed exams or had conflicts in their schedule to make up exams on a case-by-case basis. Monday 10th is the last day of school for everyone with attendance expected for all.
On this last day, students will cycle through all of their classes to receive their semester two exam grades, and receive feedback on their exam performance as well as final closing activities in non-exam classes. The day ends with a celebratory assembly where we bid farewell to departing faculty and students. This formal closure to the end of the year is highly beneficial for all students and we eagerly await the presence of everyone on Monday. Dismissal is scheduled for 11:30 on that final day of school.
In the meantime, here’s hoping your child’s exams are going well and they are managing to balance the heavy academic demands of studying for and taking exams with some relaxation and recharging in between. The holiday will soon be upon us all!
