More details will follow but as part of the week the regular Book Fair in the PAC will operate and we encourage you all to visit the book fair to purchase books for your children. We would especially like to thank Ms Tahani our Elementary Librarian for the work she has put into this particular event. Book Week is an exciting time for the students and an excellent opportunity for them to realise that there are many different ways of learning and particularly developing a love for reading.

WELCOME TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR We wish to take the opportunity of welcoming the A'Takamul Family to the start of the 2009-2010 academic year. We are already underway with students from Grades 1 - 12 in regular classes. A special thank you to those parents who have sent their children along to school. These students have had the opportunity of undertaking some very valuable revision work prior to full programs commencing after the Eid break. Parents who have kept their children home over these first two weeks are advised that packs of revision work are available from the teaching staff. OPEN HOMES These will now be held in the first week after Eid. Elementary will have their open home on Wednesday 30 September while MS/HS will hold their open home on Thursday 1 October. Both events will run from 7pm until 9pm and will start with a general meeting in the PAC followed by the opportunity to meet with class and subject teachers in the various classrooms. SCHOOL HOURS After Eid, school hours will return to normal, those being 7.30am until 2.20pm. We really appreciate parents ensuring their children are at school before 7.30 as late arrival means a significant disruption to the education of our students. Opening Hours for School Idara During the summer vacation, the Idara will be open during the following times.

After the April break, we will not be able to guarantee any places so please see the registrar as soon as possible. |
