This is an Inter-School Swimming Gala that was held on 22nd June 2019. This was a

vibrant event at which our learners performed exceptionaly well, demonstrating

outstanding swimming skills. This involved our Kindergarten and Reception classes,

and they made us proud by bagging gold, silver and bronze medals.

The strength of the school is increasing

day after day. This shows the trust our

parents have in us. This has led to us

further improving our Facilities. We are

currently constructing more spacious

classrooms fitted with state-of-the-art

modern learning tools.

Students from the Primary and Junior High campus visited the prestigious Sawela Lodge in Naivasha in the 2018/2019 annual night out camp. The students had an opportunity to break away from their classroom routine and learn through a visual experience, exploring things in a

more interesting way. The students were able to experience a more holistic and integrated picture of the information they have learnt in the classroom, presented in an unstructured way. It was glorious to see the children energized by the anticipation of leaving the school environment.

Abu Dhabi world summer games provided an opportunity to showcase our talents at the international level. Two of our very own students, Deep Sanghvi and Sonali Shah, clinched medals (gold and silver respectively) at the event. This was the first time the department had students representing the country in a sport event at such a level. This has been a motivation to other students in the department who are looking forward to take their talents to a higher level. As a department, we will continue to put in more effort to nurture the talents in our learners so that we can see more students soaring their way up to the international scene.
