Ø  Class Photographs

These are now ready.  You should have received details by now.

Sadly, last year we received orders without names on and others without money.  Please follow the instructions below:

·         You should have received an Order form and an envelope

·         Fill the form with your name and your requirements.

·         Put the form in the envelope with the correct money (no change given)

·         Return the envelope to the red box at reception.

 

 

Ø  The Heat

Need I remind you that at this time of the year children should have hats and extra water?

 

 

 

 

Ø  The unified school calendar

For many years the Ministry of Education has tried to achieve a common calendar for all schools.  You may have read reports of this in the newspapers.

We have now received the calendar from the Ministry and it corresponds to the pattern of our own normal year.  The dates for the first half of next year are as follows:

Sun September 9th     -  Term Begins

Sun Oct 28th to

Thurs Nov 1st                   -    probable Eid Al Adha

Sun Dec 2nd            -  National Day

Thurs Dec 14th         -  Last day of term

Sun Jan 6th            -  First day of term 2

 

Ø  School Buses

Please note the following rules:

·         Every child will wear a seat-belt

·         No food may be consumed.  Water (but no other drinks) is allowed.

·         Drivers are instructed not to answer or make mobile phone calls.

·         The maximum speed is 80kph
