HSC Update A Message from the Head of Senior School Assalam Alaykum, Understandably, there are worries about the loss of learning time during the lockdowns and as we negotiate the impact of the virus and the uncertainty it brings, it is comforting to know that we can safely trust in God. Many thanks to parents and students for the way you have worked with the College as we ensure the best support for our students. The home factors play a pivotal role and under the circumstances, parental involvement, quality family communication and, most of all, parental expectations become increasingly important. God willing, we will all continue to support and encourage, working alongside students as learning partners and keeping their spirits high.
