2. Find an engaging place for your child to

study. Work with your child to find out the

best place for them to study, ideally

somewhere quiet. Ensure that they have all

the materials and resources they need.

3. Break up their review time into small

chunks. Ask them before each “session”

what they are going to do in that hour. Ask

them to start each session with the hardest

bit first so they’ll get it over with first. (http://

First Holy Communion preparations

for Catholics underwayThe First Holy Communion is one of the most beautiful and unforgettable events in a Roman Catholic’s

life. In the Eucharist, the Lord becomes food for the soul in the appearance of bread and wine.

Children receive this sacrament solemnly for the first time in the First Holy Communion, and are

encouraged to receive it every sunday mass to maintain a close relationship with God.

The first communicants from Grade 4 will mark this momentous event in their spiritual life on November

18, 2017, 10:00 am, at the Presentation of the Child Jesus Parish in BF Homes, Parañaque City.

Students in other levels (Grade 5 and up) who are qualified and wish to join the ceremony may get in

touch with Ms. Juliet Catungal of the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Office in

Luxembourg Campus.

Details of the event and the schedule of practices will be contained in a special bulletin to be given to

the students who will be part of this celebration.

Secure term exam clearanceThe “Term Exam Clearance” should be presented

to the adviser/proctor on the first day of the

examination week for the student to be able to

take the exam. Those who have settled their

account as of October 5, 2017 will receive the

term exam clearance from the adviser.

The First Term Exams will be on October 10 -

Clearance with a reply slip to be returned to the

Class Adviser.

Below are the different options on how you may settle your school fees assessment:

Reviewing can be tough for both parents and

children when exams are looming. Below are

some effective and entertaining ways to help kids

review:

1. Mix things up. Encourage your child to

make notes, to highlight key points and

words and to go over each topic several

times. Find out if there are any TV programs,

museums, books or exhibitions relevant to

any of the courses.
