12i Third Term 2022-2023
Prepared: July 18, 2023

Dear student (and parents / guardians),
We are pleased to present you with your final report of school year 2022-2023. The report starts with a reflection
from you in which you look back on the past term, evaluating your own learning and progress. Your mentor also
provides a comment about your overall progress.
The grades you see in this report reflect your current level of academic performance as assessed by your subject
teachers. These grades are not predicted, final grades for the Diploma Programme. Performance for most subjects
is scored on a scale of 1-7, based on definitions outlined in the DENISE Assessment Policy. Theory of Knowledge
is assessed with a letter grade of A to E. In addition, the subject teachers provide comments on your progress this
term. The report shows levels for Approaches To Learning (ATL): collaboration, academic integrity and selfmanagement. Physical Education (PE) is considered part of CAS (Creativity, Activity, and Service). Definitions of the
assessment indicators are included at the end of the report.
We encourage you to discuss your report at home. Pay close attention to the comments, the academic grades and
the ATLs. Keep the IB Learner Profile in mind and use the feedback to set new personal learning goals for the
coming school year, 2023-2024. Enjoy the summer break and we look forward to seeing you in September.
Kind regards,
Luc Sluijsmans
Principal

Reflections
Pieter Reitsma
I haven't learned a lot this term, it was mostly just rehearsing what we have learned for the entire year. Which didn't
make it very fun. I have learned that I shouldn't try my hardest just to please others, instead of taking the hardest
subjects to make my family proud, I should just be nice to myself and tone it down a level. I'm extremely nervous
about my rapport card, as my grades have been extremely fluctuating, I'd like to say that this is most likely because
of my lack of experience in not only some specific subjects but school in general. As I've been moving around a lot
for the last 5 years, so I never really had the chance to settle down and focus. This might just be me making an
excuse as I don't want to face the fact that I am not capable of some subjects, but it is enough to distract me from
this thought. I will be getting my rapport card in about a week, I hope that day will be good rather than bad, I'm
quite confident in History, English, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, and Dutch. But maths still remains an issue, I
believe that I have the potential to do it at a higher level, I just struggle with focusing on the tests which leads to
bad scores. At this point there is nothing really that could help me, the consequence of me not getting Maths HL is
an extra 40,000 euros in tuition, which sucks, but it is what it is. Overall, it was a solid year, I managed to learn a lot
about myself, for example, I like sciences. I also managed to make new friends, which I struggled with a year ago.

Comments:
You have worked well in English class throughout this year. Your reading skills are very good, your writing skills
have improved, especially in the last two periods, and you collaborate very well with others. Your engagement with
speaking assignments has also resulted in good grades. To improve, keep up your approach to applying feedback
you receive on your assignments, as this has resulted in improved grades. I would also recommend participating
more during the lessons as this will help your understanding of the material. Teacher advice: SL.

Pieter, ik heb je met plezier lesgegeven het afgelopen jaar! Je hebt mooie stappen gezet, zowel op het gebied van
spreken als op het gebied van schrijven. Zorg dat je blijft werken aan je zinsbouw en woordkeuze, hier maak je
soms nog kleine foutjes in. Succes voor volgend jaar. Nu eerst genieten van je vakantie!

Comments:
You showed good knowledge and understanding of resource consumption. You participated in fieldwork and did
well in your mini IA. You found trends in the data and linked back the data to the hypotheses. You can improve on
linking back the results to the research question and analysing the desciprtive techniques.

Comments:
You started the year strong but you sadly didn't keep it up as well at the end of the year. In SL you should be ok but
you have to practice far more then you are doing now. You have to really keep practicing the calculation questions,
you are making a lot of errors in them on the test. This tells me you havent done enough practice at home and did
not fully understood how to do them properly.

Comments:
You are a good mathematician who has made pleasing progress this year. You must try to work on your
organisation skills as well as your routine, and then I believe you could reach your full potential in SL mathematics
next year.
