Our Grade 5/6 students will be starting their exhibition shortly, its teh big event of their year and we will be happy to invite our whoel schol community to view and hear what they have accomplished! Please mark the dates and support our students!


Campus Security Work
We are happy to say that when we come back you will see some positive changes in our campus security. 

We will be updating our systems with 
- A new front gate with high quality security locks
- A new gate in the kindergarten area with an emergency quick release opening system
- Security cameras covering the full campus perimeter, not just at the main gate. They will record on a 48 hour loop, stored on a server located on campus so no images will be sent to a third party. The recording will not be accessible to anyone unless there is just cause and approval by both the principal and office manager.

Please take a look when you come back, the student council decided the colour scheme so our thanks to them and their work.

School Visitor Policy
We are now out of the state of emergency but we would still like to remind our community about the campus entry policy. We ask that parents continue to stay off campus and only enter if it is really nessesary. Many thanks for your cooperation.


Book and Culture Week
15th - 17th March
Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation we have changed our Book and Culture Week to run within each classroom instead of around the campus. It is a chance to enjoy and promote reading - not just in the school context but also to understand students own cultures through books and stories.

Students will 
- Drop Everything and Read, we will have a simultanious reading time in school every day from 9.00am - 9.15am
- Have a traditional clothes day, where students can wear clothes and hear stories from around the world
- Pajama reading party 
and of course the dress up as your favourite book character day on the 17th March - get your costume ready!

Teachers will reach out to their class PTA respesentatives shortly, so please get involved!


Thankyou to the PTA - our fish are happy!

Big thanks to PTA (especially to Mr and Mrs Rashidova!)

Message from PTA
Many thanks for all the responses for the cup and plate making, orders are now closed and the teachers will make them shortly!


Events for the rest of the school year
Please see below for a guide to school events for March - June. When we planned our calendar back in July we were all a bit optimistic that Coronavirus would be gone by now, but unfortunately it is still very much part of our lives. So we have modified the events to be in line with our current operating procedures.

The biggest change is unfortunately the cancellation of our spring fair. We are all very sad we had to do that but of course we wouldn't be able to have an event such as that. We are hoping that next school year will see a return to a more normal life after the vacination programme has had its effect and if we are lucky, see you at the Oktoberfest!


More information about the events will be published here on our blog closer to the dates.
