Week Nineteen - February 14th, 2025
Dear Parents & Guardians,
Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful mid-term break, feeling refreshed and recharged. As we dive back into school life, we trust the transition has been smooth and energizing for everyone. Thank you to all the parents who participated in last week’s Parent-Teacher Conferences. Your engagement and support play a vital role in your child’s learning journey, and we truly appreciate the valuable conversations that took place.
This week marks a significant milestone for our IB Diploma Programme (DP) students as they undertake their DP Trial Exams. These exams are more than just a practice run—they serve as an invaluable opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with the structure, timing, and rigor of the final IB World Exams in April and May. By simulating exam conditions, students can refine their time management skills, identify areas for improvement, and build confidence ahead of their final assessments. We encourage all our DP students to approach these trials with focus and determination, using them as a learning experience to maximize their success in the months ahead.
In other exciting news, we are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding achievement of our Senior First Lego League (FLL) team! Last weekend, our talented team competed in the UAE National Finals and emerged victorious, winning the prestigious Champions Award. This remarkable achievement reflects their dedication, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Their journey does not end here—later this year, they will proudly represent our school and the UAE at the International FLL competition in Australia! We are incredibly proud of their hard work and perseverance and look forward to cheering them on as they take their talents to the global stage.
Congratulations to our FLL team, and best of luck to our DP students in their Trial Exams!
Wishing you all a restful and enjoyable week ahead!
Kind regards
Ms Amanda
Head of Secondary School
