Dear Parent,
This is to thank you for your support with our online interim classes that took place from 7th to 30th September 2020.
We understand the challenge of learning new online platforms and taking on this responsibility of supporting your child with his/her online learning.
Thank you teachers for your dedication and diligent work during the last period, while preparing for a new academic school year.
Students: We are proud of you for your efforts during that period. You did a great job.
We: teachers, parents and students will continue to work together to build on our success and make distance learning even more fruitful.
A feedback form will be sent to you to fill in, in order to make the online classes scheduled for the upcoming academic year 2020/2021 more effective.
Again we thank you parents for your partnership during this difficult time. Stay safe.

Dear Parent,
This is to inform you that the schools are suspended for the safety of our youngsters and the safety of the whole country.

Therefore please please be aware that if our youngsters are sent to cafes, cinemas, clubs,....etc this will certainly defeat the purpose and become a source of spreading the virus not only on the individual level but on the national too.
Let’s all cooperate for the safety of our youngsters and the safety of the whole nation.

School Administration

Due to the current events and close down of schools for the coming two weeks, HOE is implementing an online teaching platform: “School Everywhere”. We will be contacting you shortly for details. In addition we will update you with any decisions/decrees issued by the Ministry of Education.
All the best for our students.
Thank you.

Our visit to the Elderly Care Centers

Under the umbrella of “Family Bonding” The school is hosting a special event on Sunday, 22nd March 2020, when students will invite their grandparents to visit their classrooms.

Grandparents are a valuable resource of wisdom

Grandparents provide children with love, stability, safety, fun and wisdom that help improve a child’s developmental and learning skills. At the same time, caring for grandchildren can help elderly people boost their morale and keep them mentally sharp.

Strengthen parent-child communication through the magical grandparents-child relationship

Therefore, each child is inviting all his/her grandparents on both sides. If a student does not have a grandparent to invite, he/she is welcome to invite a special senior member of the family, an older aunt/uncle, or a grand family friend.

Grandparents will have the opportunity to see their grandchildren in their classes, spend some time with them and look at their work.

Grandparents are invited to share memories of their own school days. They can bring photographs of their own parents as little kids and talk about how families and schooling have evolved over time. After that, grandparents will join their grandchildren in their break where the students will serve them light refreshments and food.

We hope to make it a valuable experience to celebrate grandparents and show them how important and loved they are.

Looking forward to a great time with the grandparents.

Encourage and support a closer bond across generations

Special cards made by the students.

Getting ready for the visit.

Give aways for the residents made by the children.

Students were asked to write about a family member, other than the parents, who is close to them and explain why.

Three of the relatives children talked about in their essays were invited to attend today’s assembly as a surprise. Both Children and relatives were proud and excited when they were interviewed on stage.

Extended Family Members are a Hidden Treasure

In connection with our theme “Family Bonding”, the school is organizing a two-hour visit to a number of Elderly Care Centres, on Sunday 8th and Monday 9th March 2020 during the school day.
The visits will include the following places : دور المسنين الآتية
دار المواساة/ دار أحمس/ دار السعادة لرعاية المسنين

We believe that FAMILY has a significant role in care work ; providing care for the elderly is an example. Within this perspective, visiting a Nursing Home and providing care work to old people teaches children empathy, patience, kindness and therefore, prepares them for their roles and responsibilities towards their own family.
It also teaches them that Family should participate in community life, one of which is making elderly people feel loved, cared about and connected to the world around them. We try to teach our children that there is no greater gift than the “gift of time” helping an elderly person feel like a valuable member of society.

Children together with their teachers are working on ideas of how to spend time with the people at the residences, such as reading a book, playing puzzles or other games like dominoes and cards, etc.. Moreover, the children are working on give-away gifts for all residents.

Promote family bonding. Promote happiness.
Spend quality time with your children
