Dear Parents,

As we step into February, we have several important academic milestones and enriching experiences planned for our students.

The Theatre Production by our IBDP Class of 2026, presented as part of their Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) component of the programme, will take place on Saturday, 14 February. We invite you to join us in celebrating the students’ creativity and commitment. All proceeds from the production will go towards charity, reinforcing the spirit of service and social responsibility.

On the academic front, the Cambridge Grade 10 examinations are already underway, with the CBSE Board Examinations set to begin shortly. We wish all our students the very best as their consistent efforts, along with the dedication of our teachers, come to fruition.

In March, we will host the Student-Led Conference for our Early Years and Grade 1 students, offering our youngest learners a meaningful platform to share their learning journeys with their parents. The Cambridge Checkpoint 2026 examinations for Grades 5 and 8 are also scheduled to take place in March.

The re-enrolment survey for the academic year 2026-27 has been rolled out, and you would have received it via email from schoolpost on 3 February. Your responses are invaluable and will help us plan effectively for the year ahead.

We are also delighted to share that our amphitheatre space will reopen shortly, now equipped with a solid tensile roof to provide a more comfortable space for school events and gatherings.

Looking ahead to experiential learning beyond the classroom, international trips are being organised for students from Grade 4 to 11. These include a trip to Vietnam from 9 to 14 May and another to Switzerland between 1 and 7 June, providing students with valuable global exposure and cultural learning opportunities.

We thank you for your continued support and partnership as we guide our learners through these important months of growth and achievement.

Warm Regards,
Shaila Bhamidipati
