Dear Parents / Guardian,
As we welcome you back to this final term of the academic year
2016/2017, we would like to reiterate our commitment to developing holistic learners who can easily compete at the global level. This term is
very crucial to us and we once more seek for your unrelenting support.
Remember that we are partners in this venture and therefore your support
and credible feedback are of great essence.
Exam scripts
All the exam scripts will be issued to the students in the first week of the
term. This is the week ending on 5th of May 2017. The process of issuing
the scripts has not changed; students will go over the script with the subject teacher and the paper goes home where the parents are expected to
sign and return to the teacher the following day. Any exam paper that is
not returned the following day will not be accepted by the teachers.
Report Cards
We have noted that many report cards had arithmetic errors caused by our
new computer system. We would like to most sincerely apologise for this
anomaly and let you know that our technical team is working relentlessly
to see that the program is producing internationally acceptable documents. Due to this, we are humbly requesting you to return the reports
issued at the end of term two so that we can issue more accurate ones.
Once more, we regret this inconvenience.
Remedial
As you may recall, we gave a schedule for remedial lessons in upper classes (Year 4 & 5) as follows: Girls on Mondays and Thursdays and boys
on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Kindly note that the teacher needs to be notified and transport arrangements be done by the parents. However, in the
lower classes, the parents need to sign the form issued by the class teachers.In case a teacher in upper classes wishes to call a particular student for
remedial,a form should be filled and returned to the class teacher.
Mentorship
Science Fair
This Term is a term that will see our students explore the scientific world. The
Science Fair will be a learning moment.
All investigations will be done in school.
The climax of the Science Fair will be on
26th May, 2017 where the judging and
viewing of the investigations will be
History Knights
The Humanities department is scheduled to have the History
Knights this term.Pupils from Year 1 to 6 will have an opportunity
to show case what they learn in History and also some great personalities who have made History in the world. The event will be
held during the last week of the term. Meanwhile, pupils will be
assigned the roles they will take part in and begin their rehearsals.
As we start our preparations, we hereby appeal to parents to cooperate and assist whenever called upon.
This is a guidance program in which each child from Year 4-6 is
attached to a Mentor. They have par t of their meetings every
first and third Thursday of the month from 7:30 – 8:00 am.
Please make sure your child comes to school early enough to gain
from this great program.

We also plan to have the House Breaks this time; however, they
will be Breaks with a difference as all the Houses will have their
breaks on the same day and time. The date and more details shall

Term Value Theme
Once again, we have a great value Theme - Honesty to guide us
throughout the term. We urge you to help the children, in little
ways, to nurture this great and noble value. A date when the whole
school marks this theme will be communicated later.
We will miss them

husband who is working outside the country.
Clubs / Activities
There will be Wednesday afternoon Clubs starting from this week.
Please remember that lunch will be taken from school as the students will not be allowed to go home for lunch (On Wednesdays).
The lower junior students will not change clubs within the Academic Year anymore. However, in the event that a child would like
to change to another club, the parent or guardian should bring this
to the attention of the class teacher in writing. Kindly note clubs
will be put on hold during the holy month of Ramadhan.
The Holy Month of Ramadhan
As it has been our Culture, we hereby remind you that the School shall be taking
part in collection of alms from the students in form of dry food, clothes, shoes,
bags etc which shall be then given to the
less fortunate in the society.
