Classes
> A bell will ring at the start of each class on the hour.
> Another bell will ring 10 minutes before the hour to signal the end of teaching
for that period
> A third bell will ring 5 minutes before the hour, at which time teachers and
students should begin to assemble so that the class may begin promptly on the
hour.
Punctuality
> Students are expected to be on time for all church and school activities.
Failure to do so will be detrimental to your future as a student. In addition, one
unexcused absence from any class will mean the loss of two grade points from
the student's final grade for the term. Three unexcused late arrivals to class is
equivalent to one unexcused absence.

but usually each student does about eight courses per trimester. Teachers grade
each course based on classroom behaviour, class participation, weekly tests,
monthly tests, oral examinations, assignments as well as end of trimester
examinations. The pass mark in all courses is 70%, according to the grading
scale.
