We are pleased to see that many of our new students and their parents, on returning from their summer travels, are finding opportunities to visit their new school and see for themselves the dramatic progress that has been made in upgrading the campus. We are presently looking forward to welcoming our team of teachers, who are eager to commence work at JBS. Although most of our staff have been working as a team since February of this year, the whole staff will formally come together on Wednesday 25 August 2010 to put the finishing touches to their classrooms, work areas and planning. Details regarding our team can be found under the 'Faculty' tab on our website.

We have been fortunate over the summer to have hosted the Libra Summer Camps, Swimming and Tennis Academies. We have welcomed many children from the local community who have enjoyed taking full advantage of our superb facilities.

We are currently preparing a special welcome for seven students who will be flown here by Emirates Airlines as part of their support for The Dhaka Project. This project was founded by Portuguese air stewardess Maria Conceicao. Maria won the European Women Innovators Award for starting up and running this project for children and families living in the slums of Bangladesh and we are therefore delighted to support this fantastic initiative over the coming weeks.

A little reminder to families joining us....

Our first day of school will be Tuesday 14 September 2010.

Our 'Meet your Teacher Day' and induction morning will be Tuesday 7 September 2010.

May we also encourage parents, members of the local community and those interested in playing a part in the future development of JBS to fill in our 'Friends of JBS' form by clicking here.

Finally, may we wish you all Ramadan Kareem.

Andrew Homden,
JBS Executive Superintendent
