Dear Al Mawakeb Al Garhoud parents, students, and staff,

As we embark on a new academic year, it is with great enthusiasm that I extend my warmest welcome to each one of you. Our shared journey in education continues to inspire us to reach new heights, and this year, our focus remains on nurturing growth and fostering excellence.

Excellence is not a destination; it's a continuous journey of improvement and dedication. It is not measured only by achievements, but by the effort, determination, and character that shine through in all our endeavors. We understand that success encompasses not only academic excellence but also emotional, mental, and social growth. That is why we will continue to be committed to advancing student wellbeing, personal and social development, inclusion, and the quality of education we offer.

Our valued parents,

At the heart of our educational philosophy lies the holistic development of our students. Our commitment to providing an education that is accessible and supportive for every student remains steadfast. Through differentiated instruction, special services, and a range of extracurricular activities, we strive to empower every individual to shine. Our dedicated staff will continue to provide a nurturing environment where students can explore their passions, develop resilience, and cultivate lifelong skills.

As partners in this journey, your unwavering support and engagement play a crucial role in creating a positive and effective learning experience. Let's work hand in hand to provide our students with the encouragement they need to excel. We will continue to keep you well-informed about your child's progress and encourage your active involvement in their education journey. Our open-door policy reflects our belief in collaborative partnerships for the betterment of our students.

Our esteemed educators,

Your dedication shapes the future. Your tireless efforts and innovative teaching methods inspire our students to reach for the stars. Your commitment to fostering growth, empathy, and curiosity is what sets our school apart.

To our beloved students,

You are the heart and soul of our school. Remember that each day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact. Embrace challenges as steppingstones to success and approach every task with enthusiasm and determination. Your potential is limitless, and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.

And to the fresh faces joining our family,

Welcome! You are now part of a diverse family that values your uniqueness. Our older students have a tradition of extending a hand of friendship and guidance to newcomers, ensuring a smooth transition into the school. Seek them whenever you need, and you will find them answering your call.

To our school community,

I take this opportunity to announce our focus on further integrating climate change and sustainability into our curriculum. With the upcoming COP28 conference in Dubai, we see an opportunity to educate our students about the importance of environmental stewardship and empower them to become agents of positive change.

We firmly believe that education is the key to a better world, so let’s work together to make this year one of happiness, growth, enlightenment, and positive impact. Let's create a culture where kindness, respect, and a thirst for knowledge thrive. Together, we will build a legacy of well-rounded individuals prepared to make a difference in the world.

I look forward to the journey ahead and the many achievements we will celebrate together.

Warm regards,
Omar Hatoum
School Principal
