Dear readers,
As the year winds down and as we prepare to celebrate the holiday season, it is the perfect time to reflect on the various experiences our school community has offered this term. The dynamic, vibrant, and diverse passions and interests of the students and their school lives reflect a multitude of the different opportunities Taibah has to offer.
Our school is filled with a wide assortment of cultures that cherish the unique traditions, languages, and flavours that each student has to offer. From a week purely based on embracing one's culture, to African Day and Night where every student has the opportunity to show us how beautiful their cultures are. Take time to go through the various articles depicting the cultures of Taibah students.
With the festive spirit in the air, our school has no hesitation in partaking in the fun, joy, and happiness that Christmas has to offer. As Taibah students, we came together to be enchanted by the wonderful and heartwarming presentations done at the annual Christmas bonanza show directed by the year nine class.
School trips are an opportunity for students to learn extra information outside of the classroom. Regardless of the purpose of the trip, they always create fun and lasting memories. Take time to go through the tantalising stories from the Owlypia competitions in Abu-Dhabi and The Belt and Road Teenage Workshop for Science in China.
Caring for the environment is a crucial value at our school as it is number 5 in our five C’s (Communication, Creativity, Critical thinking, Confidence, and Care for the community). We have been involved in various initiatives to preserve our environment. Take time to read the article on the dangers of pollution, you might pick a leaf or two.
For our senior students, graduation is the highlight of their high school lives. It is a time to celebrate the achievements and personal growth that have come from years of hard work. Take time to read the articles on the senior year experience and the graduation ceremony from a guest’s point of view.
Preparing students for their future endeavours is a crucial aspect of Taibah’s education system to ensure they have a smooth transition into their careers. Taibah dedicates its time to helping students explore their passions and encourages them to be prayerful and well-prepared for exams.
In every corner of our school, there is a story to tell, an experience to share and a lesson to learn. As we celebrate the season and look forward to the future, let’s endeavour to partake in the reading of the various pieces highlighting the diverse aspects that Taibah ensures to teach every student.
A special appreciation to Christabelle Karungi Yr12 (Co-Editor Taibah Times), Darren Kukunda Senior 5 (Information Senator and co-editor Taibah Times), Teacher Leticia (Editor – Taibah Times), and all the contributors of this edition of the magazine.
Happy Reading!
