Update from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Wow – what a week! The Matilda performance was sensational.
The students started the week with a full dress rehearsal in front of the entire school and this was incredible. All aspects of the performance were of the highest quality and more than that they sang, danced, and acted with a smile on their faces and with so much confidence. Already from the dress rehearsal, we knew it was ready at the highest level and the hard work that everyone had put into this production had paid off in abundance.
I am often stunned to see the self belief, talent and courage on display by our young students in such a big event, it is a joy to see and a real pleasure to bring this to the community as our first musical in our new campus. This is one that our students, staff and parents will long remember. The performers have created positive memories for life.
A huge thank you to Mr Tom, you have been wonderful. Without his calm, positive and reassuring approach this would not have been possible. The way in which the students have worked so well with the teachers has been fantastic to see. Thank you to the staff, the music committee and every teacher that has helped out in the numerous jobs from backstage, sound, costumes, backgrounds and everything in between. Thank you to all parents for supporting the school, helping the students across so many facets of preparing for a school production. The amount of extra hours that everyone has put into this across the community has definitely been worth it after seeing the enjoyment this performance has brought to everyone. At the end of the event, I read through around 10-15 groups of people to thank, this could have easily been 20 more! – the whole event included people far and wide across the school. Students, Staff and parents have put together an absolute epic show. Bravo!
A special congratulations to all students. The energy, excitement and stage presence were outstanding, what an amazing way to finish the term and year.
During the live performances in front of an audience, they did an exceptional job and delivered such an amazing treat for us all to enjoy.
The parents, students and staff all left school last night with a smile on their faces, laughing/crying and full of pride after such an amazing closing night. This is exactly what schools should look, sound and feel like. It is an overwhelming positive emotion when our students give their heart and soul into something they love. The students will arrive today, probably tired, maybe sad it has come to an end but definitely very happy with such an incredible performance! They will remember this forever, the huge cheer at the end of the show and it is a wonderful memory to have. I am sure that our students have inspired others to get involved in the future and after a quick rest, I’m certain they will already be thinking about next year!
We aim to ensure that the final 2 weeks of term are calm, organised and as smooth as possible throughout until we finish on Thursday 27th June (a 12-noon finish for everyone). For those of you planning to travel after the Eid holiday, please remember the first key dates for the next school year:

Virtual Learning
Last year it was announced that it is no longer mandatory for schools to provide Virtual Learning for students, shared by the Ministry of Education in August 2022.
The Ministry of Education has announced that the syllabus system for the coming academic year 2022/23 in all kindergartens, schools, universities, government and private educational institutions at all stages will be mandatory attendance for all students. The ministry clarified that there would be no choice for parents to attend their children to receive in-person or remotely learning, assuring its keenness to provide for all the requirements for a successful back to school.
At Nadeen School, following the announcement from the Ministry above, our provision for learning will be on site.
