Although we are not governed by the statutory holidays for schools, we follow the ESF schools calendar. During every year we have 5 teacher training days built into the calendar. This is in addition to the contact days with children. These CPD days are added onto our calendar not removed from the contact days with children.
Please find the school calendar for Abacus Calendar for 2018-2019 here. We also now have the Abacus Calendar for 2019-2020 available here.
K1 Art Exhibition
The K1 art exhibition is one of our favourite days of the year at Abacus. We hope you enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful art work the K1 children had created during their ‘How We Express Ourselves Unit’.
We have created a video to celebrate their beautiful work which can be seen here.
You can also view our photographs here.
K1 and K2 Leavers
If you know your child will be leaving at the end of K1 we would be very grateful if you would let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer the K2 place to another family. You will need to give 2 months notice in order to receive your debenture back. The school billing team will refund your debenture into your school billing account within 30 days of your child’s last day at school provided you have given two months written notice.
If you are leaving at the end of K2 you do not need to notify us. The office staff kept all of your debenture certificates in the office unless you came to pick yours up. At the end of the term the school billing team will refund your debenture into your school billing account within 30 days of your child’s last day at school.
Library
The library has finally been restored following the typhoon and is open for borrowing again. However we have not finalised the furniture yet and are exploring various options for this, so please bear with us as we decide what will work best for displaying our books and making them accessible for the children.
