CSIM Summer intensive courses in July

Enrolment opens today for the CSIM July intensive courses.

Although you have not yet passed the course, the matricula online system treats you as though you have, so you will be able to register for the next level up. If you fail the annual course or get a sobresaliente, you may need to be in a different level, but this will be handled by the office once all the annual course Actas are in.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR ORAL PRESENTATIONS - THEY WERE REALLY GREAT!

Wednesday 24th April

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to thank you all for your presentations today.  They were all very interesting and very good!  I was very impressed!  I realise that it is very difficult to talk in front of a whole group of people so well done.

Anyway, there is no homework this week.  Have a rest and see you all on Monday!
