Exams, Caps, Gowns, Exams and Pyramids!
What a wonderful day it was on campus today. Our senior class of 2022 donned their graduation caps and gowns and embarked upon the symbolic and traditional walk through the campus. They were greeted with smiles, cheers and shouts by the entire school community from elementary, middle and high school. Friends, siblings, parents and staff were all moved to tears as this year’s graduating class paraded through the grounds in their striking red and white gowns. Tomorrow, they will step out for the first and final time in front of the Great Pyramids of Giza for their commencement ceremony. We are all truly proud of them and their achievements and look forward to recognising and celebrating this tomorrow.
Our Grade 9 through 11 students have been sitting their final exams this week and will continue to do so next week as well. The final day of school for them will be Wednesday 8 June. There will be a special schedule on this day to wrap up and bring closure to a year of learning and we’ll end the day with a full HS assembly to say thank you and goodbye to some departing teachers and students.
Senior Celebrations
Click here for the Senior Show Video
The “Senior Show” being the favored theme for Spirit Week got us to think of making it the theme for yesterday as this is their “show” from start to finish as they graduate.
– Our Senior student Paula designed the 2022 logo and Seniors Adam, Jorge, Youssef, Sam, Catalina, and Andre and Ms. Engy Rabie brainstormed and provided input for the design. Every number represents grade 9 to 12 Spirit Themes ….Funky Freshman, Double OO Sophomores, Juniors of the Jungle and Senior Show.
Have a wonderful weekend, and if you’re joining us at the Pyramids, we look forward to seeing you there.
