Our Amazing students showed their parents that they are not just talented, but capable of performing on stage in front of an audience.  With their teachers’ guidance a fun and very exciting programme was put together for Windrose’s annual Winter Assemblies. FS to KS2 presented fun-packed musicals about Santa, elves, snow, and all things festive.  Students also demonstrated their ability to sing Christmas songs in French and German.  KS3 and KS4 impressed the audience with their wonderful and well-rehearsed dance routines.  Everyone enjoyed themselves during these spectacular shows and we look forward to next year’s show.

A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and a healthy mind is the most important tool you can have as a Student and human being.  Windrose Academy celebrated Health Week on 13/11/22.  Students and teachers discussed and carried out activities in class highlighting the importance of being healthy.  Topics ranged from a good night’s sleep to healthy eating and hygiene.  All students were encouraged to bring in healthy food on a daily basis.  All stages had fun learning about the age appropriate topics.  The week ended with a Sports Day for each Key Stage to encourage the idea of keeping fit.

Windrose Academy understands that education can only improve by reading.   Hence, we started our first literacy week with FS on October 31st.  A Book vendor was available to give parents and students the opportunity to buy books.  The FS teachers asked parents to volunteer to read to their child’s class. Many activities were held in FS classes ending with a dress-up day of the students’ favourite characters

Since Windrose Academy started 10 years ago, we have taken pride in being a continuation of the home.  We held our first parents’ meeting on October 31^st 2022 for the academic year of 2022 – 2023.  The meeting was a fruitful day as parents and teachers, in all the Key Stages, had the opportunity to meet discuss with them their children’s progress and ways of improvement.

Bullying is a worldwide Pandemic that affects Egyptian school students on a daily basis.  It is defined as violence towards another person and can take place in many forms; physical, verbal, or through the internet (Cyberbullying).  This serious problem can affect students of any age negatively e.g. poor school achievement and mental health problems.  According to UNICEF Egypt statistics, 70% of students between the ages of 13 – 15 are bullied in schools.  In order to spread awareness about the topic Windrose Academy had an Anti-Bullying Campaign during the week commencing 18^th October 2022.   The week encouraged students to talk about bullying and express themselves in many forms, art, music, drama, and videos.

Windrose Academy understands the importance of celebrating our country’s victories and keeping the memory alive for younger generations. To ensure that it’s part of their character-building process, our school celebrated ‘Belonging Week last week.’   The week was an excellent opportunity to encourage our students to embed within themselves a sense of pride and belonging to their great country, Egypt. Many activities were arranged in All the classes and throughout the Key stages, allowing students to express their feelings through Art, Writing, and Drama in Arabic, English, French, and German.  The festivities culminated with patriotic songs, dances, and drama to inform our students about our victory in the 6^th October War and keep the memory alive in the minds of youngsters who cannot associate themselves with the occasion.  The day ended with an ex-army officer giving a motivational speech to our year 8 students about the meaning of Freedom, pride, and achievement.  It was indeed a memorable and wonderful day.
