A Change to the 2010/11 School Calendar

Please kindly note that a change has been made to the school calendar. The school's leadership has been concerned that there are too many disruptions in the first quarter of the school year and that these will have a negative impact on student learning. For this reason the Mid Autumn Festival holiday has been reduced from 3 days to 1, Wednesday September 22nd, and therefore September 23rd and 24th will be regular school days. The two days holiday for students has been moved to February 17th and 18th 2011, and those two days will be used by teachers for professional development purposes. We apologize for this late change to the calendar and for the inconvenience this will cause. However we are sure you will agree that the change will have a positive effect on student learning, and we are grateful to the BCIS teachers for giving up two days holiday in order to engage in professional training. The updated calendar is available on this website (http://www.bcis.cn/en/news-a-events/upcoming-events/month.calendar/2010/08/
