December is a crazy month here. It's the end of the school year, so mark taking is held for scholarship organisations and students bring their fee schedules for the next school year for payment. Our job training students follow the same schedule.
Big exams are held in schools in November, then there's a marking frenzy to get results of elementary schools out by Dec 28. Then students are 'called' to schools and those fortunate enough to have marks high enough for scholarship applications can be called for interview. We have two girls moving up to a Provincial school in the second year of HS, so we shall have to get all their 'shopping' (a long list of items and uniforms) completed by Jan 3.
We shall be interviewing for new scholarships at the beginning of January since form 2 (second year) doesn't enter school until February.
There are many choir festivals during the month and confirmations and bapstisms are traditionally held at this time. A whirlwind of activity!
