From the Principal's Desk…….I take this opportunity to congratulate the new “Editorial Team” for

rdbringing forth the 3 Edition of the Frontline International Private School Newsletter, 2018-2019.

Saleema MahmoodiPrincipal

As a principal it is important for me to value the higher expectations of everyone who steps in through our doors, staff, students and parents. This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun and nurturing environment. We thank and welcome you for being part of our learning community.

It is the purpose of education to encompass a broad spectrum of experiences, so that the child may encounter or exclude those experiences necessary to fulfil the individual desire to explore and learn. Children are skilled in how to think critically. It is our effort which will help them explore and realise it. Through the School web portal we are highlighting the ongoing activities, the participation and achievement of our students in varied activities. This newsletter speaks volumes about their highly engaged and involved actions which are for everyone to see.

I thank all the parents for their collaboration with the School in all the academic and co-curricular activities promoting the children to be involved productively with the spirit of healthy competition and sportsmanship.

Maintaining personal hygiene is a vital element of living a healthy lifestyle in terms of personal, social and psychological aspects. Keeping a good standard of hygiene helps to prevent the spread of infections, illnesses and bad odours. FIPS organised the Health and Hygiene week to develop good habits for living a healthy life

FIPS conducted Arabic Week this year. The aim was to encourage the love of Arabic language and to show appreciation and regard to the culture of the region. Students were also encouraged to part i c ipate in var ious competitions and activities to improve their language skills.

FIPS Science Department organised the Science Week to develop students' critical thinking skills and interest towards scientific investigation. Students were involved in various activities that included innovation & higher order thinkingskills and presented interesting projects.

Ideally, teaching the scientific method to students is teaching them how to think, learn, solve problems and make informed decisions. These skills are integral in every aspect of a student's life, from completion of education to pursuing a career.
