academic year on Monday, 28th October, 2024 and be promoted to Form two (2) and continue with the
new academic year immediately.
Incoming first year students for Single Track and Transitional Schools will also begin school on
Wednesday, 30th October, 2024. Additionally, all continuing students in Single Track Schools will re-open
for the new academic year on Wednesday, 30th October, 2024.
