Update from the Principal.
Dear Parents,
This week, we thoroughly enjoyed our Term 3 Open Day with many parents attending classes, walking around the school, and watching how our students learn. It is wonderful to invite parents into the school to see our students enjoy their learning, playing together and having fun with our amazing teachers. Thank you to all parents for attending, our teachers for opening their classes and to our admissions team for hosting a presentation and supplying refreshments.
Also, a big thank you to our PE department and staff for supporting the Boys and Girls Futsal Tournaments during the last week. As usual, our students did us proud in their application, effort and how they represented the school in such a respectful manner. Congratulations to everyone involved, please see the latest news section for both articles and photos.
An important update from our Nurse Jessy, should your child develop any symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, tummy ache, sore throat, fever, headache etc…, he/she must remain at home and not return to school until one full school day after all their symptoms are gone.
Our school is growing with more staff and students joining. For a full list of new staff appointed to date, including their photos, bios, and information, please click here. More updates will be sent out over the coming weeks.
As mentioned in the Update from the Principal last month, we have many projects being completed in the coming weeks in preparation for the new school year. If you are interested in volunteering, getting involved in projects/clubs or working closer with the school by applying for a position on the boards associated with the school, please check your email as further information will be sent out soon. This is an annual process that helps us plan for August 2023.
A quick ‘save the date’ please for the upcoming school year, our Orientation Day (For all families to attend/tour the school and to meet together socially) is on Thursday 24th August 2023 and the first school day on Sunday 27th August. As normal, following the first day at school, we will have many presentations during the first week of the term for ‘Meet the Teacher’, Curriculum, Extracurricular Activities, our Inclusion Department and much more.
Today, we are very excited as we look forward to Speech Day!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Dr Paul Walton

- Only parents of Nursery, Reception and Year 1 should be accompanying students to their classrooms.

Virtual Learning
As you might have seen, this summer it was announced that it is no longer mandatory for schools to provide Virtual Learning for students, shared by the Ministry of Education on Tuesday 2nd August 2022.
The Ministry of Education has announced that the syllabus system for the coming academic year 2022/23 in all kindergartens, schools, universities, government and private educational institutions at all stages will be mandatory attendance for all students. The ministry clarified that there would be no choice for parents to attend their children to receive in-person or remotely learning, assuring its keenness to provide for all the requirements for a successful back to school.
At Nadeen School, following the announcement from the Ministry above, our provision for learning will be on site.
For students unable to attend or overseas, we will offer an extra provision to help support with Year 3 and above, including:
- Students will be included in Google classrooms to have the same access as those onsite.
- A link to a curriculum plan for all year groups.
- A weekly class email from the teacher.
- An appointment to discuss your child/their progress over email or an online meeting when required.
- Access to our book list covered in school.
- The resources from the online subscriptions used on site will be available.
- An opportunity for a teacher/student conference if needed, as directed by the class teacher.
We hope all students have the opportunity to be back on site. We look forward to the new academic year and following the Ministry guidance above for our students at school.
