“I am because we are" 

                     -Ubuntu anthem

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for being so supportive generally with all our endeavours and initiatives. This includes the infrastructural expansion (new academic block), curricular expansion (CheckPoint exams for CP and LS), non sporting competitions (MUN, Debate, Spelling Bee - in addition to Scholar’s Cup), social skills (TEDx and  DoE). and more.

Thank you for helping us integrate these necessary growth elements into the academic fabric of your children, and for recognizing that to make our learners well rounded individuals  - this integration is key.

Now, as we begin to wind down the year and head towards examinations and assessments, and as the focus narrows to academia, we request the same understanding and support from you. Let us all make it comfortable in all ways possible, the management of the stress and and the anxiety during the next month or so.

Warm regards

Shouquot Hussain

Although there is a growing appreciation for holistic learning and the value of a broad curriculum, subjects like Art and Music are often still undervalued. Many students echo sentiments such as, “My parents said it’s okay if I don’t finish my art assignment,” which reflects this lingering mindset.

Our Board Chair made a powerful point in our last year’s graduation speech—a message I often share. He said, “When I was studying history and geography in high school, I questioned why I needed those subjects. Later, I realized they taught me resilience. They trained my mind to learn even when the subject wasn’t my favorite.” This insight is crucial for all students to understand.

Subjects that may seem less important today actually help us develop discipline, strong study habits, a growth mindset, and the perseverance to tackle tasks we may not enjoy. These are essential life skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

I encourage you to engage your child in conversations about what they are learning in every subject, including Art and Music. Let’s not only value the content knowledge but also recognize the broader skills these experiences foster—skills that shape us into better learners and lifelong learners.
