Back to school...

We have been back to school for a week and a half since our half term break. The principal of the school and his family had a very successful and rewarding time in Scotland. New friendships have been established which will hopefully last a long time.

Since being back this past week, we have been making preparations for winter exams and Christmas activities. We have also been planning for the visit of 12 of our pupils to the Model International Criminal Court in Poland. We are really excited about this adventure! More information can be found at http://www.model-icc.org/.

The Student Council is planning a Talent Show for grade 4 to 12, which will also be used as a fund raising event. This is scheduled for Tuesday 24th November at 6pm. We are expecting to have a lot of fun and see lots of our pupils displaying their many talents (we may even have some teachers strutting their stuff!) Watch this space for details...

We have begun our half term holiday which will last until Monday 2nd November.

The Principal of the school is currently on a visit in Scotland. He and his family are visiting various churches and schools in the Hamilton and Falkirk areas, as well as other places of interest. Part of this visit is to report on the school and to spread awareness of the work of the school. So far the visit has been very successful and fruitful, with new relationships being established.

We're still here....

After a relatively quiet time from our blog, I am happy to be able to post again! It has been extremely busy, with many different activities taking place around the school. We have also been invited to apply for the Model International Criminal Court in Poland, taking place in December. We will keep you posted on the process.

The past week saw a trip of our grade 10s to old Jaffa. Our grade 7 and 8 classes went on a trip to the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi and we celebrated our international food day today!

The grade 10 trip was very successful and informative for our pupils, who were accompanied by their English teachers and a qualified and experienced tour guide who told the pupils about the fascinating history of Jaffa.
The grade 7 and 8 trip to the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi also very good, with our pupils behaving in a way which makes us proud to call them Tabeetha pupils!


Our international food day saw foods from 39 different countries so the sights and smells were amazing! The food was enjoyed in a festive atmosphere, with about 500 participants.



Thanks to all who are part of the Tabeetha community for a great week!
