From the Ark Academy
It is wonderful to finally extend a formal welcome to our class of 2019–21 at Ark Academy Sixth Form. We are delighted that you have chosen us to complete the final stage of your secondary education and we promise that we will do all in our power to get you to your choice of university, degree program, apprenticeship route or job of your choice. We believe that our exceptional outcomes speak for themselves and should reassure you that you have chosen the greatest location for success. On Wednesday, September 4th, Year 12 students will formally begin classes. You must arrive between 8:00 and 8:15 a.m. and report to the sixth form building, where your director of sixth form, head of year, and form tutors will greet you. You will be based at Ark Academy on Wednesday, April 4, and you should dress professionally. This basically implies that you should wear a blazer and be well-groomed so that you may leave school and go to a professional job interview without having to change. There is further information attached. Please remember to bring a bag, a notepad, and a pencil case. Additionally, until your biometrics are configured and the Sixth Form Cafe is fully operational, you should bring a packed lunch or money to purchase meals off-site during lunch. Last but not least, on Wednesday you must submit any remaining paperwork (passport, proof of results, etc.) and your $40 enrollment fee.
