ASSESSMENTS:

1st and 3rd term Assessments are sent to all parents, giving them an indication of how their daughter’s work habits and attitudes are progressing. Academic reports are issued at the end of 2nd and 4th terms

PUBLIC SPEAKING:

Skills and techniques are incorporated into the school curriculum. Girls in Grades 6 and 7 compete in a contest where prepared and unprepared topics are presented before an audience and adjudicators.

 

PROGRESSION TO HIGH SCHOOL:

Pupils are prepared for a variety of High Schools according to individual strengths and interests. At the end of the first term in Grade 7, schools best suited to pupils’ abilities are recommended to pupils and parents. Whilst Collegiate Junior is the main feeder school for Collegiate High School, progression is not automatic.
