Dear Parents,

Our students will be taking IGCSE/GCSE exams and Diploma in Applied ICT Award when they are in Year 10 or 11 and IB exams in Year 13. We consider the combination of these qualifications to be an important part of the experiences we offer our students from Years 10 to Year 13. 

The IGCSE/GCSE Exams will be finally taken in Year 11 although some students might take examinations in Year 10 and exam fee invoice will be sent around March of Year 11.

The curriculum of Diploma in Applied ICT will be taught throughout Year 11. Fee invoice will be sent to parents around the middle of first term.

IB written exams will be taken in May 2015 and registration / exam fee invoices will be sent to parents around November/December 2014.

We feel it is important to let parents understand at this point what financial costs are expected from Years 10 to 13.

The cost of the exam fees are approximately to be:

ICT — around HK$850

GCSE/IGCSE — **around HK$7,000

IB — around HK$7,500

BTEC registration fee — around HK$3,000/course

** Individual GCSE/IGCSE vary in cost depending on the subject. The costs of each subject are determined by the examination boards and reflect factors such as visiting moderator costs.

Yours faithfully,

Monica Gilbert-Saez

Vice Principal

Examinations Manager
