It’s that time of the year again for the “grand finale” to the school year. We’ve had our final exams last week, and teachers are busy filling in assessment reports for our Parents-Teachers Session next Saturday (31/10/09). But the uppermost in our minds right now, is of course the Ihtifal & Graduation Day !
To say that we are anxious and stressed out, is at best, putting it mildly ! Every year we go through this ( 4th year, now !), but every time, we still do feel the nervousness. We are all in the midst of rigorous practice with all the kids for the presentation, while at the same time preparing the props and costumes.
It’s not so much as worrying whether we can present a certain image etc to parents, but more to how we can nurture the hidden talents and kindle the inner creativity and showmanship of al-fatih kids. We believe that performing in front of an audience helps develop confidence and braveness. Important traits in well-balanced Muslims, insya-Allah.
Add to that, the desire to create a fun and wonderful time for the kids at the same time…. something that is not easy to achieve, trust me !!
Anyways, yes, our Ihtifal & Graduation Day will insya-Allah be on 21st Nov 2009 (Sat). For Al-Fatih families, former, current and about-to-be, you are all cordially invited.
