Dear Parents,

We extend congratulations and warm well wishes to Mrs. Nouha Al Soussi (Year 3) on the birth of her baby girl. May peace and blessings be with the family.

As we approach mid-June, I call your attention to the following information and reminders:

Reports Out – Friday, 14th June

Reports will be sent home with children on Friday, 14th June. Teachers have begun arranging appointment times to meet in person or virtually with parents for Child Progress Conferences.

E.I.S. Sports / Fun Days – Week of 17th June

Fun races, games and talent show type presentations on the school field are being organised. More information will be forthcoming from Class Teachers.

Last Day of Term / Prize Giving – Friday, 28th June, Centre Culturel Chinois

The 28th of June is the official last (partial) day of school. We end on this day with a farewell ceremony for Years 3 – 13 (from 9:30 – 11:30), during which we reflect on the academic year and award prizes.

School Uniform and Equipment

Whilst looking ahead to the next academic year, please refer to the school website’s Uniform and Equipment section to make sure that your child will be appropriately attired and adequately prepared.

The calendar for Academic Year 2024 – 2025 is on the school website and should be consulted when making travel plans. The compilation of the calendar requires that we have three equal terms of 58 days for accounting purposes, and taking into account when movable feasts fall within the year. Please note that the next academic year will begin on Monday, 16th September 2024.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
