LEARNING AND

The teachers use a variety of teaching methods including directed
assignments, laboratory based work, projects and practical work. They
are encouraged to be flexible in their approaches to classroom
teaching to meet the general needs and level of understanding of the
students.
Regular class assignments, oral and written exercises, group
projects, and homework are given on a regular basis.
Students from Pry 6 are required to sit for PSR, Year 8 students for
SPE and Sec 5 students for GCE "O" Level Examinations. St. Andrew's
School has maintained a proud tradition of achieving a high academic
performance in all public examinations.

neatly, in the correct format, and submitted on the due date. Parents

of each examination. Students who have not done well in the
examinations will be required to meet and discuss their weaknesses
with the teachers in the presence of their parents.

pressing need for doing so.
