Due the incomplete syllabus and on going projects this can put additional strain on the students as they are already preparing for exam in March. 2024

We are under a lot of pressure and have an extremely limited time to complete our IAs, prepare for CAPE exams and maintain an all rounded profile. Hence, due to the extra stress end of terms adds to our already busy school schedule, it should be cancelled.

The form 6 students are under a lot of pressure to complete the syllabus, while simultaneously trying to do SBAs and study for their upcoming CAPE exams. Also, teachers are already under a time constraint to teach the entire syllabus and adding end of term exams just hinders that even further. Therefore, end of term exams should be canceled

The students of Form 6 are already extremely occupied with SBAs, assignments, and other extra curricular activities. Not only this, but they also have limited time to complete their syllabus and need to utilize all of the time that they have.

I do believe that this end of terms is not necessary for form sixers as this would allow their focus to be on labs, get further into the syllabi, as well as balance their academics with song and dance preparation. Midterms as well as courseworks have been given throughout the term and will continue until the end of the term to note student's performance rather than having end of terms for this term as it was last year.

I strongly agree with this petition. In previous years the time taken for end of term was spent teaching which in fact was very beneficial to us in the long run. Although i do understand the intent to better our transcript, I believe end of term exams would put a strain on our mental and emotional stability.

Totally agree. Time wasted , only a part of the syllabus covered and teachers are rushing to complete work.
