A note from the Principal Dr Glenn Moodie
As intensive, two-year IGCSE courses come to end, I am sure all Form 5 students will be breathing a sigh of relief and looking forward to a welldeserved summer break. The IGCSE years are the most academically challenging which students have faced so far and, in some ways, the breadth makes them more challenging than anything they will face in the future as well I hope students will look back on a job well done and remember fondly the trials, tribulations and triumphs of these past two years
The end of Form 5 is a critical time in any student’s life School as they know it is coming to an end and greater freedoms await - including the opportunity to really focus on the areas of academia about which they are most passionate Whether students are remaining at KTJ for the Sixth Form or moving on, we wish them all the very best for the next stage in their educational journey. We are always honoured to have the trust placed in us to nurture young people through some of the critical moments of their educational lives and we are proud of what each and everyone has achieved
KTJ is a special place and I hope students, whether they are leaving us today and joining us in the Sixth Form, will always cherish their time here
Goodluck!
