Greetings to all the members of the CBS community
Welcome back to the new and promising academic year 2024-2025.
I wish to welcome and introduce our new Elementary Principal Mr. Reginald John Esau to you. Mr. Reg (as he likes to be called) comes with a few decades of experience teaching and leading private and public schools. His qualifications and experience brings to CBS an accountable, collaborative and pedagogically strong leadership style. Working along side Mr. John Esau will be Ms. Henna in primary and Ms. Marwa in elementary. We also have a pedagogically strong cohort of teachers and learning support staff. In elementary, there will be no exams this year but students will have continuous assessments to test how well the learning is happening.
The high school is ably led by Mrs. Gihan Hassan and supported by Mr. Khalid Odeh. Last year we had a success rate of 98% of the students receiving their high school diplomas. Several of these students have gone overseas with Kuwait scholarships and others are pursuing higher education in Kuwait and in other Middle Eastern universities.
At the Canadian Bilingual School we strive to provide an interesting and academically stimulating learning environment. We have about 175 days when students are expected to be in school. This much time is necessary to meet the curriculum learning needs for each grade and prepare students for the ever growing needs of the work place when they graduate from college. Therefore, we request parents to work with the school to be punctual in dropping your children to school, keep your children in school according to the academic calendar and avoid taking early dismissals and unauthorized leaves. You will see a marked improvement in your child's learning levels.
The Canadian Bilingual School is an environment where we focus on academics, imparting valuable soft skills and developing good and positive character traits. We are conscious about building good citizenship and leadership which will help build our communities and contribute positively to the future of Kuwait.
I wish all staff, students and parents of Canadian Bilingual School a rewarding and successful school year.
Mr. K.O Mathew
Director
