1. Principal's Message
Dear High Gate Family,
As we reflect on the culmination of the Second Term of the 2023-2024 academic year, it is with great pride that we acknowledge the myriad of events that have enriched our school community. Second term, in particular, has been marked by a plethora of significant occasions, from the vibrant celebrations of Christmas to the heartwarming solidarity festival. Notably, these events have not only brought us together in joyous spirit but have also served a noble purpose, as funds were collected from our esteemed partners to support the less-fortunate children in our neighboring community, in collaboration with the Gisozi sector.
High Gate International Academy remains steadfast in our commitment to delivering the highest quality education, blending components from the esteemed Canadian Education standards with the rigorous frameworks of Cambridge and the French curriculum. It is this unique blend that has shaped our learners into ambassadors of global academic excellence and exemplary self-discipline.
In addition to our academic pursuits, the Second Term has been adorned with a diverse array of events, including Grandparents Day, Literacy Week, Sports Day, and various assessments aimed at fostering student development and enhancing our performance tracking system.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated parents, esteemed teachers, diligent students, and the entire community for their collective efforts towards the growth and prosperity of our school. Special commendation is due to the invaluable contribution of the after-school activity project, which has significantly enriched our students' achievements. Rest assured, we are committed to resuming this project in the third term.
Looking ahead, the Third Term presents unique challenges and opportunities. With its brevity and intensity, it requires heightened attention from both parents and educators alike. We recognize that students may experience anxiety as they strive for promotion to the next grade, and thus, we emphasize the importance of strategies that inspire smart work rather than solely relying on hard work. Our educators stand ready to provide guidance and support to ensure the continued academic success of our students.
Together, let us embark on this journey with renewed determination and unwavering dedication to the holistic development of our High Gate family.
Warm regards,
Mr. Michel Shamamba
Principal
High Gate International Academy
