Upcoming Events

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome back after the break, I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable week at home.

As ever, life at QA Sidra have been very busy, and the newsletter this week reflects a range of activities that our students have been involved in.

Grade 10 have been working on their Personal Projects. These are now coming to an end and students are working hard on presenting their final products and finishing the reports and journal writing. Sundus presented her project on Identity during an assembly this week. You can see a snap shot of her work in this newsletter, and she will be exhibiting the full project later in the year.

Grade 10 Arabic Language and Literature students have been homing their presentation skills by working on instructional essays. Students thought about a skill they wanted to teach the rest of the class. They discovered how clear they need to be when trying to help others learn.

Students of all ages have joined in with sports. Please see the reports from the Cross-Country Team, who were in action just before the break, and the golfers who were fortunate enough to play with Olazabol.

The High School Students were in action at THIMUN too. They all had a great conference and got to share their debating talents. The Middle School students will be up next. They have already started practicing for their conference in May.

Finally- don’t forget, March 25th PTA Family Fun Day

Best wishes,

Dr. Carolyn Mason Parker

Secondary School Principal

The PTA has been working on several things to help serve the community. The parents meet parents coffee mornings are put on every time there is a PYP, MYP, or DP information session. We have also asked the school counselor, Ms. Lisa Adams, to provide a session to parents to how their children can cope with peers being mean. She has graciously accepted and the information session was very useful. The PTA provided snacks and treats and an opportunity for parents to engage.

To further build community, the PTA is putting on another movie night on Feb 9th at 5pm in the Primary School Inner Quad. Bring a picnic blanket, and maybe a fold-able chair, and we will provide the popcorn and movie. The movie title is (Finding Dory).

The PTA is hard at work on the Family Fun Day that has been moved to March 25th, a Ramadan event, and the possibility of doing a uniform exchange. Please contact us to see how you can contribute to any of the above.

CALLING PARENT ENTREPRENEURS and Business owners!!!! Are you an Entrepreneur?! Do you run a small business? Do you want an opportunity to showcase and sell your products at the Family Fun Day on March 25th? For a nominal fee you can get a table. Please sign up on the google document and contact us for more details.

FAMILY FUN DAY!!! March 25th, 2017. The PTA is working on its next major event, Family Fun Day!!! Which will be on Saturday, March 25th 1-4pm in the Secondary school location. This event is not just about nuclear families but our school family, and our greater community. We aim to get everyone involved and participating, parents, teachers, and students of all ages. Like all other PTA events, Family Fun Day will not be successful without the help, time, dedication, and volunteer work that both our parents and teachers provide. Things only work if everyone pitches in. We need YOUR help to make this event a success! We would like for parents and teachers to participate and help children with activities, such as crafts and games. If you have a fun activity in mind you that you think would be engaging for everyone or targets our secondary school population, or engages our teachers such as competitions please share and volunteer. If you are just willing to help at an activity, the photo booth, a sport, or at a craft table, please sign up! If you have a small business that can help our event and you would like to use this as an opportunity to advertise, let us know. If you are a henna artist, or can do face painting, or have access to bouncy castles or would like to contribute in any way, please let us know. Secondary students need to participate with an idea to host a booth, do basketball, soccer scrimmages with students vs. teachers, students vs. parents, parents vs. teachers etc. Secondary students will receive community service hours if they volunteer! We are trying to get Siraj, and other activities set up. We are on a time crunch with this event. All hands-on board! Parents are requested to come and join the fun and share a dish to share with everyone, finger food(s) preferred (no nuts, pork products, or alcohol, please!) Please follow this link to sign up on the Google Form that will ask for your name, phone number, and email address and the activity you would like to volunteer for. We will try to organize it so that volunteers are paired with each other and in shifts so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the festivities.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aMr79DAiEQvSWvh13lsWPJ_C6GqyBaUG5NlrkZ14OwM/edit?ts=58415be9#gid=0We are very excited about this event and hope you are, too! If you have any questions, please contact the PTA at [email protected]

Finally, as a PTA, we invite all the parents and teachers to join our Facebook page "QAS Parent Teacher Association" we use as platform for different events, announcements, and for the parents to reach out to each other. We hope it is a great resource for everyone.
