Update from the Principal.
Dear Parents,
First of all, I hope you have had a relaxing and restful summer. It seems like the holidays have flown over for everyone this year and we are very excited and eager to start back at school in what will be a huge year for Nadeen School with many amazing opportunities ahead!
I would like to say a huge thank you to the Nadeen School community for such a warm and positive welcome to Bahrain and I am very grateful for this and appreciate all of the kindness and well wishes I have had.
Welcome to my first update from the Principal. These updates will be sent out at the end of each week and the purpose of the update is to give a brief overview from events, activities and exciting projects finished at school, a glimpse into what we are doing and also updates on larger priorities from the school. Hopefully, you will find this informative and if there are any school wide announcements, I will refer to these in this update to keep all parents informed at the same time together as one. I believe communication is key as a school and will do my best to ensure I include all pertinent and relevant information for the families in our wonderful school.
