Class of 2025 Last First Day

Grade 12 and Year 13 students embraced their Last First Day of School with unparalleled enthusiasm. Arriving in a dazzling convoy of three double-decker buses, they were greeted by the cheers of proud parents, branded T-shirts and vibrant signs. A heartfelt shout-out goes to the dedicated parents of the Class of 2025 for their meticulous organization and attention to detail, making this day truly special.

The students stepped off the buses to the captivating sounds of oriental percussion and the traditional Mizmar (Zaffa Balady), creating an unforgettable atmosphere as they entered the school. The energy was electric, with laughter and excitement echoing through the halls, as both students and mothers showcased an incredible spirit that inspired everyone around them.

Best of luck to the Class of 2025! This journey may be bittersweet, but before you know it, we’ll be celebrating your graduation. Cherish every moment!
