Above: Mrs. Lindy Smith and Mrs. Louise Rawlings were on hand to present Canadian school choices. For Ninth graders at SAIS-R, this is a special year, a bitter-sweet year, for it means the certainty of moving on. In compliance with the guidelines of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education, curriculum at SAIS-R terminates at the end of grade 9. Most graduating students will plunge head-on into meeting the requirements for entrance to boarding schools, sitting for the SSAT Exam and writing those all-so-revealing essays about themselves. They will spend hours with their parents learning about possible schools and completing applications. Certificates and awards earned by the students are gathered together, recommendations are written by teachers and transcripts are prepared. It is an important year for the student and his entire family, a year when some serious choices must be made. While some students welcome the opportunity to have a boarding school experience, others prefer to stay with their families, a decision which may necessitate a move to a new location or returning home to live with relatives. Mrs. Dannie Russell of the SAIS-R Placement Centre coordinates all application material, counsels students and parents, and organizes a very successful and informative annual Boarding School Fair.
