Update from the Principal
Term 2 is well under way and started with sixth form students in the British school taking examinations and US curriculum students have completed their end of semester summative assessments. Staff were there to support students with additional intervention sessions where required.
It is essential that students in every phase attend school every day and arrive on time. Nothing beats the onsite learning experience delivered by qualified teachers and subject specialists. We place a huge emphasis on ensuring that teachers have subject expertise because we believe in the power of subject disciplines to transform the minds of students through the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The quality of thinking of a student improves when they have more knowledge and understanding in any subject. High attendance and a commitment to study are of course the key to this, as enshrined in the values, attitudes and attributes of the High Performance Learning (HPL) framework that is embedded in the British school.
This term is packed with high-quality educational events in which the Heads of School are happy to share with you.
The LWB activities and interventions have started this week. Please encourage your child to take advantage of these learning opportunities.

Every Child an Entreprenuer!
Following on in the footsteps of the Year 6 Girls last November, the remaining sections of the Junior school set up their own stalls for some amazing Commercial Souks!
The children learnt so much about teamwork, accountability and enterprise by creating their own mini-business for a day. We were so proud of the students’ resilience, creativity and resourcefulness and know that this was an experience that they will never forget.

Hello SRS Parents,
What a great time of the year! I hope you enjoy our Newsletter and updates about the progress we are making.
It was exciting to see the parents during our Consultation Day last November.
Everyone in our school community has worked very hard during the first term and we are proud with the outcomes.
As most of you are aware, we will be making significant changes in some of the student schedules at the start of the second semester as they choose electives. Our timetable will adjust slightly to reflect these changes to accommodate every student. I am happy with our direction and look forward to more growth in 2023!
Please see some upcoming happenings in the US High School:
- Learning Without Boundaries
- Extended Learning and After School Enrichment Programs
- Student Portfolios
- Student Wellness Survey
On behalf of the entire staff at SRS, thank you for allowing us to partner in your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Heath Bailey
Principal
