Congratulating Karnak on the Junior Library Quiz

Posted on by Malak Fateen

Yesterday saw a hot competition between Memphis, Karnak, Siwa & Thebes as our Y5/6 & G4/5 students took part in their first cross-school general knowledge library quiz.
Both, the students representing the different houses & the audience had great fun answering interesting questions about Sports, Science, Maths, English, Geography, Children’s Books, Authors & Famous Characters…..
We are very proud of the great teamwork & general knowledge we’ve witnessed!
Special thanks to Mr. Mostafa El Shishiny who took the initiative & organized the competition along with our Head Librarians, Ms. Claire Roberts & Ms. Helena Trevor.
We are happy to announce that the winning house is………KARNAK!
Well done to the team representing Karnak. Each member has won a 200 LE voucher to buy books! The vouchers were a generous gift from the Readers Corner Bookshop; thank you!

I am organising a Performing Arts trip to London for students in both schools. This will take place 23rd to the 28th of October 2019. They will spend 5 nights in London at The Holiday Inn Hotel, Wembley and visit 4 concerts.

  • Accommodation including large buffet/cooked breakfast and packed lunch each day
  • International Flight on Egypt Airlines
  • Round trip Transfer airport
  • Meet & Assist upon arrival
  • Transfer from Heathrow to the Hotel
  • Coach for the duration of the visit and Tour of London

  • London eye and Aquarium visit
  • Covent Garden and some shopping time
  • Trip insurance

Payment will be split into 2 installments. We will confirm the final quote as soon as flights are booked.

Should you be interested to send your child on this trip, please fill in the form, and hand it in to your own school office as well as a non-refundable
