Dear SIA Community, Welcome to Term 3: Embracing Excellence Together As we embark on Term 3 of our academic year, I am delighted to welcome back our parents, staff, and most importantly, our remarkable learners. The vibrant energy that fills our corridors after the break reminds us of the special community, we have built together at Scholars International Academy. This term brings with it both exciting opportunities and important academic milestones. Our GCSE and A-level learnerss are entering a crucial period as they prepare for their forthcoming examinations. We recognise that this can be a challenging time, filled with both anticipation and pressure. Please know that our dedicated teachers and support staff are committed to providing every resource, guidance, and encouragement needed to help our learners navigate this journey successfully. Remember that examinations, while important, are simply opportunities for our learners to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have been cultivating throughout their academic journey. To better support our families during this period, we have scheduled several Curriculum Coffee Mornings throughout the term. These sessions will provide valuable insights into examination processes, revision techniques, and wellbeing strategies. They also offer an excellent opportunity for parents to connect with subject specialists and address any questions or concerns. Details of dates and topics can be found here: Curriculum Coffee Morning Schedule  I would also like to kindly remind all parents to complete the re-enrolment process at their earliest convenience. Timely re-enrolment helps us ensure a smooth transition and accurate planning for classes and resources. If you have any questions or need assistance with the process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Parent Relations Executive, Ms Radhika, pre@sia.ae who is here to support you every step of the way. I am particularly excited to announce Mr Chris, our Head of P.E. will be leading on our House system this term. The SIA house initiative aims to foster a stronger sense of belonging and healthy competition among our learners. It will feature some new inter- house sporting events and academic challenges, allowing learners to earn points for their respective houses while developing important life skills. Speaking of sporting events, our calendar is brimming with fixtures and tournaments that showcase the athletic talents of our learners. From swimming galas to football tournaments, there are numerous opportunities for our young athletes to shine and for our community to come together in support and celebration. As the academic year draws to a close, we also look forward to our graduation ceremonies – moments of immense pride as we celebrate the achievements of our learners and their readiness to embark on new chapters in their educational journey. More details will follow regarding these closer to the time. During this potentially stressful examination period, I call upon our entire community – parents, teachers, and learners alike – to rally together in support of our learners. A kind word, a moment of patience, or simply being present can make all the difference to a learner feeling the weight of expectations. At SIA, we are more than just an educational institution; we are a family that stands together, especially during challenging times. Let us make Term 3 a testament to our commitment to excellence, compassion, and community spirit. Together, we can ensure that every SIA learner not only achieves academic success but also develops the resilience and confidence to thrive in an ever- changing world.

Dear SIA Community, Many of you may be aware that the week before last, SIA underwent a rigorous SPEA review. The purpose of this review is to focus on various areas, including academic performance, learner well-being, and overall school environment. Whilst the outcomes of this review are yet to be made public, we as a team, are pleased with the positive outcomes and development areas which are suggested by the review team. The feedback from the inspectors highlights our commitment to providing a high-quality education and a nurturing environment for all our learners here at SIA and I look forward to sharing the full report with parents in a few weeks’ time. We are also excited to share the success of our recent KS3 Extravaganza which took place last Thursday! This event showcased the amazing talents of our learners, from musical performances to captivating art displays and impressive academic projects. It was an opportunity for our children to shine and for parents to witness the diverse skills and creativity of our young learners. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and look forward to more such events in the future. We also want to inform you about a recent change in our teaching staff. Ms. Leila, one of our secondary English teachers, has sadly left due to personal circumstances. We want to reassure you that Ms Suzie has already taken on the older year groups to maintain consistency and continuity, and we have already appointed a highly qualified replacement. The English department will ensure a smooth transition and maintain the high standards of teaching that your children deserve. We are confident that our learners will continue to thrive under their collective guidance. On another positive note I would like to congratulate our very own chessmaster, Danish Lenin in Y5 who took third place in the U10-British Schools Middle East Chess Championship. This is a huge achievement, and we are very proud of his success. On another note, I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents about the importance of monitoring their children’s device usage on the school buses. With the increasing use of technology, it is crucial to ensure that our children are using their devices responsibly and safely. We urge you to set parental controls on their devices to protect them from inappropriate content and to encourage productive use of their screen time. This will help create a safer online environment and support their learning and development. Finally, as the month of Ramadan approaches, and our shortened school days commence, let’s embrace this special time with our families, teaching our children the values of patience, gratitude, and empathy. May this holy month bring peace, joy, and countless blessings to your homes. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear SIA Community, Welcome to our latest edition of the school newsletter! As we embark on another exciting fortnight and prepare for Ramadan, we are thrilled to share with you the wonderful achievements, upcoming events, and important updates from our vibrant school community. Your continued support and involvement play a crucial role in our learners’ success, and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones together. The annual school Fiesta took place last weekend alongside SIA’s first MUN Conference. Both events were very successful and showcased the incredible talents and dedication of our learners. The Fiesta was filled with vibrant performances and engaging activities that brought our community together. Meanwhile, the MUN Conference provided a platform for learners to demonstrate their debating skills, global awareness, and leadership qualities. We are immensely proud of everyone’s hard work in order to make these events happen and the participation of all! Big thanks to Mr. Robert for the MUN and Ms. Meera and the Fiesta committee for all their efforts which enrich our school. Please click here for MUN and FIESTA pictures. Further successes recently came with the SIA Sports Teams winning a multitude of trophies and accolades in the EISSA games last week. We are incredibly proud of all the teams that represented our school and more details about this are further in this week’s newsletter. This week, Ms. Noorhan held an interactive parents’ workshop on “AI and How to Harness.” It was a superb session and was very well received by those who attended. We will look at running this again later in the year. Continuing our theme of curriculum events for parents, we are scheduled to run our next session on Wednesday, 18th February, which will be on “Phonics and Read, Write, Inc.” Ms. Esther and Ms. Daisy are hosting this, and it will no doubt be very popular. Therefore, if you wish to learn more about the SIA approach to teaching your child phonics, please sign up on the link below. Curriculum Coffee Morning Schedule A polite reminder that all learners should be wearing the correct SIA uniform issued by the school. Recently, we have seen learners mixing and matching PE with school attire or dressing in different coloured trousers and jackets. Our SIA uniform promotes equality by reducing peer pressure and bullying related to clothing choices. It fosters a sense of community and school pride and simplifies morning routines for families. Uniforms also prepare our learners for professional dress codes in the future. Please help us by reinforcing this at home and ensuring school-issued uniforms are worn every day. Important notice of date change! Following feedback from parents, we have decided to reschedule the KS3 Extravaganza “From Vision to Expression” to Thursday, 27th February. Doors open at 10:30am with the Extravaganza commencing at 11:00 am. The overwhelming feedback from parents is that Thursday is a preferable date compared to the original Saturday evening. As this is the first time we will be undertaking this event, and we require both learner and parental engagement, we feel this is a much better option. We will welcome your feedback after the event. Finally, I would like to share the short podcast below. A recurring discussion point with parents is about the use of social media and how we can monitor this with our children. The attached podcast will hopefully give some suggestions regarding TikTok and how this can be managed. nationalcollege.com/podcasts/what-parents-and-educators-need-to- know-about-tiktok Thank you for your continued support and engagement.
