Grace and I, along with my Mum and John and Nigel, are broken-hearted to share with you the sad news that Dad passed away yesterday, Saturday 26OCT2024 at 7:05 am.

Colin and Joan White worked at this school from JUN1960 until their retirement in JUN2000. He was the legendary, outstanding Principal from 1968 until 2000.

He influenced generations and will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace our beloved Husband, Dad, Grandad and Great-Grandad. Rise in glory next to the Great King whom you loved and served.

Colin White [17DEC1933 – 26OCT2024]

As part of our promise to catch up the 7 days that we lost at the beginning of the school year, we will NOT be taking Thursday 31OCT2024 and Friday 01NOV2024 off. They will be normal school days.

Dear Parents and Students that are still online

I apologise for not writing this message earlier.

We have realised, after a significant amount of feedback from parents and students, that the Livestream (streaming a live class for all 6 hours) might not be the way to go at the moment. I should emphasize that it is my goal that this will happen eventually.

We have decided to VIDEO the live class on an hour by hour basis. We will attempt to post videos of the class as soon as it is finished on Google Classroom in the Topic “DailyVideos”. This will have the format of a link to the video for each lesson of the day. You will therefore hopefully be able to follow during the day as soon as the class finished. This means that by 08:50 am you might have a video to watch if everything goes well.

Within the near future we will arrange Zoom afternoon meetings with teachers at which you can ask questions you had about a certain lesson. Be sure to write them down as you move through the videos.

We will be keeping to the SIX hours per day timetable for the week Monday 21OCT – Friday 25OCT2024.

The timetable will change. It will be posted tomorrow, BUT it will be 6 hours per day : 07:40 am until 01:30 pm.

Tomorrow afternoon we will open bus routes to the following locations :

Loueizeh – Hazmieh – Fiyadiyeh – Dekwaneh – Mkalles – Qoubeh – Hammana – Chbaniyeh – Ras El Matn – Fallougha

If you have registered your child/ren on a bus to any of these locations, bring your child to school in the morning and in the afternoon the bus will return them home.

Please be ready for late arrival at home for the first 10 days as we sort out these bus routes.

Please note that no students will be able to ride on the bus unless they have signed the Bus Waiver Form. If you have already signed the School Waiver Form, a second signature is all that is needed. This form will be available outside the Senior Administration office tomorrow morning when you bring your children to school.
