Happiness Day 20th March 2023

Parents are invited to join the family picnic, festival-style activities, workshops, performances, community art project and souq on the school’s grounds, from 1:30am to 4:30pm (please note that busses will leave promptly at their regular time at 2:50pm). 

The map shows the locations and timings of all activities on offer. As you can see there will be a lot of different activities to participate in, and we can’t wait to celebrate this day with you. 

The following activities require a pre-sign up, so if you are interested to join any of these, please register through the links provided:

• Ms. Zaina Tahboub will hold a Parent Mindfulness workshop both in English and Arabic, to sign-up to either of these, please click here. 
• Mrs. Gaynor Lowe will give 2 Mother-Daughter Aqua Aerobics sessions in the Primary Indoor pool. Please click here to sign up to the session at 1:45pm, to sign up to the session at 2:30pm, please click here. Please arrive 15 minutes early and bring swimwear to take part.
• Ms. Wissem Mébarki will give Cook and Play Workshops in the BBQ area (close to the Primary playground, from 3 and 6 years of age). You can book a 15-minute slot for your child to participate through this link.  Walk-in is accepted if slots are available.

To ensure Primary teachers are aware of individual arrangements, including bussing, we ask all Primary parents to complete this permission form for each of your Primary children by Sunday, 19th March.  

For parents of Secondary students that use the school bus, please also complete this form by Sunday, 19th March, so that we know your child’s intentions for that day. 

To minimize waste, delicious, nutritious and sustainable lunch boxes will be available on a pre-order basis only and families are welcome to bring their own picnic lunch if they prefer (no nuts or pork please).   Please submit your picnic pack order purchase to Sodexo through this form (one form per family). 

If you are unable to join the activities, you may wish to send your child to school with some spending money on the day so they can buy some additional drinks or a fruit pop, visit the souq or participate in a paid activity (10AED – 30AED).  

We look forward to welcoming Students and Parents dressed in Blue and Green, the colours of our planet and be sure to bring a mat and a reusable bottle for all as drinks will be sold from dispensers only.

We look forward to welcoming you on the day!
