Information for Form 7 Crosswords

Dear everybody,

The registration to the form 7 crossword competition is closed. I am happy to inform you that 32 teams from 11 schools are going to participate.

There are a few thigs I'd like to remind you about:

1. Students should bring their own dictionaries.

2. Everybody is expected to take a change of shoes / wear indoor shoes.

3. The contest lasts for two hours, from 2 to 4 pm. There should be one teacher in each classroom and when the time is over, the answer sheets need to be checked so all teachers whose students are participating are asked to be present and help with it.   

Also, we need help with teachers. As the VKRK's teachers have to attend a compulsory seminar at the same time, we need 6 teachers to sit in the classes while the students solve the crosswords. Anyone willing to give us a hand, please contact me in advance.

I am looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday, 7 April at 2 pm at Võru Kteutzwald School. The rooms are on the second floor (according to the English system)

Best regards,

Mare Veiderpass
