Summer Holidays!

      As you all should know, hopefully, it's the summer holidays! School came to a close with a bang at SJI Independent, where SJII had their annual Sports Day. The points for results came close, with Yellow house leading by a mere 5 points, followed by Green house. However, despite the better team winning, there will still be next year to beat Yellow house.

      Some have gone back to their home country, or on their family vacations; a group of G11s have gone to Krabi and survived, and the G12s are getting ready for their IB exams.





      May this 7 week holiday help revive all that need reviving, and give those who need time to heal, time to heal from the past half year of IB life.

End of 4th June Week

What's Happened:


    OBA Founder's Day Dinner — on Saturday 15th May, the Lasallian schools came together to celebrate the day in which St John Baptist de La Salle gave us a future, and made all this possible. Dinner followed the Mass which was held in the chapel, where traditions were remembered and carried out.

The most important things universities are looking for are Academic Strength, Academic Curiosity and Interest, Study Skills and Work Habits, and Proven Enthusiasm and Commitment to ECAs. The G11s are advised to think about what they want to study, which system suits them best, the cost, and what the application process entails.
