Greetings.
Since the study in this school began on 16 / 10 / 1960 instead of mid-September
due to religious holidays, and since there are other religious holidays during which our school closes
which causes a shortening of the actual study period, and in view of the school administration's keenness to complete the curricula, please kindly
approve the postponement of the final examination dates as in previous years, so that these dates
are as follows: -
1- The final exam for students of the fourth preparatory grade from Shamash Preparatory School begins on Tuesday, corresponding to
30 / 5 / 1961 and its completion will be on Tuesday 6 / 6 / 1961.
2- The final exam for students of the intermediate and primary section of Frank Iny School begins on Wednesday
14 / 6 / 1961 and its completion will be on Thursday 22 / 6 / 1961.
