Week One - August 29th, 2025
August 29, 2025
Dear Primary School Families,
One of the greatest joys of a new school year is the sense of limitless potential it brings. We imagine the discoveries ahead, the journeys we will embark on together, and the many accomplishments that await your children.
After only one week, our school is filled with laughter, smiles, and energy. What a pleasure it was to greet our students and families earlier this week. This has brought such warmth to our community. The children's enthusiasm, and joyful chatter truly transform our school into a vibrant place of learning and belonging.
Of course, we know that our new students need some time to adapt to their new environment. Please be reassured that our entire staff is here to support them as they settle in and grow to love their new school. Despite a few tears from our youngest learners, it has been heartening to see how quickly the students are already finding their place, making friends, and enjoying their new classes. During my visits to classrooms, I witnessed lively discussions, creativity, and genuine joy, a clear sign that this year is off to a wonderful start.
On a personal note, I would like to thank you for your warm welcome. I was so touched by your kind words, encouragement and support.
Looking ahead, we are excited to invite you to our Parents back to school on one of those mornings : the 24th, 25th or 26 of September . You will have the opportunity to attend a presentation about the primary school and to hear about your child’s daily routines, curriculum, and special events planned for the year. Just as importantly, you will be able to spend some time in your child’s class. These sessions will also allow you to connect with other parents in your child’s class and strengthen the sense of community that makes our school so special.
Now that the first busy days are behind us, we look forward to building on this positive start together. I am deeply grateful for your trust and partnership as we accompany your children on their learning journey this year.
Warmest wishes,
Mirna Hafez-Farah
Head of Primary
