Typically, when we return after the June break for the second term of the school year, we have "Welcome Back" exams. The idea is that students might study a bit during the break or at least try to remember things a little bit if they know they'll have exams right away when they get back. Also, some students tend to be slow returning after a break, wandering in a few days into the term. If there are exams right away, it encourages parents to make sure their kids return to school on the day they are supposed to. However, since this year we are coming back from a three-month break instead of a one-month break due to corona, Gerald (the academic master) decided to be nice and have our first set of exams at the end of July, so the students had nearly a month back at school to get back into the groove of things first.
I took a couple of photos of form one as they took their English exam today. I had always used the word "to proctor" an exam in the US, but the commonly used word here in English is "to invigilate". It sounds impressive, anyhow.
