Class 10, 12 exams to be rescheduled
As the students and teachers from these schools will be attending classes from home for a few days, the authorities have stated that the exams for classes 10 and 12 for some subjects will be rescheduled after reviewing the situation further.
“The class 10 and 12 exams that have not been conducted will be rescheduled and students will be informed of the changed schedule. The open house stands cancelled and the alternate date will be intimated to parents at the earliest,” the principal said.
“Therefore, all remaining Rehearsal Examinations for classes 10 and 12 will shift from the onsite to the online mode. The online schedule as given earlier will be followed,” he said. St Lawrence High School said sanitisation drive in its campus is underway after the Covid-19 case was detected.
