Dear Parents and pupils,
Welcome back to school! We trust that you all had restful holiday and are ready for an exciting and busy term. With the Lords help, we know it is going to be fruitful!
CONVENTION
This year's theme - STAND - Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand".
The theme this year, we believe, is very relevant to Zimbabwe!
Date: 23-26 July
Venue: Harare International School
Cost: R80 equivalent in ZWD converted at rate of the day of payment in the CET offices.
Please join us this year. The events list is attached. Sports day for senior and junior students from Pre-School through to High School will be held on Friday 25 July at the University of Zimbabwe. The final date for registration is 31 June 2008. Students age 11 and up are able to enter Student
If you know of any families that are on other Christian curriculums please can you forward this information to them - we would love to have them join us.
The Team at the All Africa Student Convention have also opened their doors to any student on a Christian Curriculum, so if students on other curriculums (eg Alpha Omega) were to win a nomination they would be able to enter the AASC as well. Unfortunately only students that are on ACE can receive nominations to attend the International Student Convention, USA.
We would like to hand out required documentation by Wednesday 14th so please make sure you confirm your child’s entries with us before then.
If you are able to help with the catering this year, please let us know in writing before Wednesday 14th. Proceeds will go towards PACE books for students and to “Shalom” – an orphanage which we are helping to set up in Marlborough.
If you need any help or further information please contact us.

SATS
Any students in their year of graduation will have to write the SAT test in October. Please encourage your child to begin revision NOW .. and help them in whatever way you can! We have supplied a booklet of common SAT words and their roots to graduating students and we will continue with math formula drills and SAT essays. It is up to the student, however, to apply themselves diligently if they wish to get good college entrance scores.
