1. Principal's Message
Dear High Gate International Academy Family,
As we bid farewell to the first term of the 2023-2024 academic year, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the remarkable journey we have embarked on together. The High Gate International Academy community has experienced a brilliant commencement to the academic year, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every parent for their unwavering support.
Our commitment to providing a unique and enriching educational experience has come to life through our blended Canadian and Cambridge education system. It has been a joy to witness our students thrive in an environment that celebrates their individual talents while fostering teamwork. This special educational platform is molding each child not only as an individual but also as a valuable contributor to the larger team.
I want to express my deepest appreciation to our dedicated teachers for their quick adaptability to new teaching models. Their efforts have paved the way for our students to navigate a learning journey that showcases powerful life skills, inspired and developed by our exceptional educators.
As we embark on the second term, I am delighted to inform you of some adjustments to student's; timetables based on the valuable feedback we received from parents. We understand the importance of incorporating additional activities that reflect cultural and moral values. Therefore, we have introduced Traditional Dance and Values from the Bible/Christianity into the curriculum.
Furthermore, we are excited to announce the initiation of after-school activities for primary students, scheduled from Monday to Thursday, 3:50 pm to 4:30 pm. During this time, students will receive 30 minutes of homework support from teachers, followed by 40 minutes of extracurricular activities from 4:35 to 5:30pm.
As we look forward to Term 2, which commences on December 18th, 2023, and concludes on April 5th, 2024, I am confident that these enhancements will contribute to the holistic development of ourstudents.
Thank you for being an integral part of the High Gate International Academy family. Together, let us continue to inspire and nurture the minds of our future leaders.
Warm regards,
Mr. Michel Shamamba
