Open House...
|
The second Open House at Wesgreen took place on September 10th. It was indeed a pleasure to welcome 88% of the parent population to the campuses. I think that having our parents meet the teaching faculty was the best thing that we could have implemented from the start of the year. The first point of contact for your child at school is the class teacher, followed by teaching specialists, department heads, building heads and then the headmaster. By working in this order it will put problems or suggestions in perspective, and allow for those that are responsible for a particular area to carry out their responsibilities to a greater degree. I have got to know many parents, just from seeing them drop and pick their children, or when they come to meet teachers. Remember that we are only a phone call away, so if you would like to come in to discuss your child’s progress or have any concerns do call the building receptionist to make an appointment, you do not have to wait until a Parent Teacher Meeting is scheduled.

If you are having any problems or have any questions regarding your child's education – in a specific area the above mentioned can be contacted as they are directly responsible for a curriculum area. A particular teacher may not be listed, but the team leader of the section should be contacted, with a copy to the respected head of the building. Don’t forget that we also use the old fashioned method of the school diary—which is means of daily communication to your child's teachers.

A reminder that all students in grades 5 to 11 must be completing a journal for all languages; Arabic, English, French or Urdu. The journal is due weekly and is in addition to any homework that has been given. The journals are something for the students to enhance their language skills and ensure that they are reading outside current events in these languages. Projects are to be hand written and instructions followed to the letter. Tests will be ongoing; no more than three per week excluding: Arabic & English Language, no more than two on a day, with a minimum of five days notice. Quizzes can be taken at any time, and are unannounced.

Today...
|
Your job is to chose what kind of day you are going to have.
Today, you can complain because the weather is rainy or you can be thankful the grass is getting watered for free.
Today, you can feel sad that you don’t have any more money or you can be glad your finances encourage you to plan your purchase wisely.
Today, you can grumble about your health or you can rejoice that you are alive.
Today, you can morn your lack of friends or you can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today, you can murmur dejectedly because you have to do house chores or you can feel honored because God has provided shelter for your mind, body and soul.
Today, stretches ahead of you, waiting to be shaped.
You are the sculptor who gets to do the shaping. What today will be like is up to you.
