2. Friday, 10th May – Student-led Conference
Reporting on student learning comes in many forms such as report cards or emails from teachers, however, by far the most effective reporting experience at XLIS are our student-led conferences. This is a time where parents come to school and have the opportunity to listen to their child report on learning. It is a form of assessment as learning, where through the preparation and reporting process students develop in different IB elements. Buses do not run on this day as students come to school with their parents at different times. Please keep an eye out for information on time slots coming from homeroom teachers.
3. Saturday, 11th May – Summer Fair
