From the Principal’s Desk
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back to Term 2! I hope the recent break offered you and your families time to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
As we step into a new term, the energy on campus is buzzing with excitement and promise. This term is packed with exciting opportunities, milestones, and new experiences for our learners—some of them firsts for Timour Hall! We’re thrilled to launch the first-ever Grade 5 camp, along with the first Netball and Soccer tours, while our Grade 6 learners will also head off for their much-anticipated camp. The younger grades will enjoy enriching outings that extend learning beyond the classroom walls.
Of course, day-to-day teaching and learning continue with enthusiasm and purpose. Our educators are committed to preparing learners for the upcoming controlled tests at the end of the term, ensuring an enriching academic journey for every student.
New Building Progress
We’re excited to share that the construction of our new building is moving along swiftly and looking fantastic! After a recent site meeting with all involved stakeholders, we are happy to announce that we anticipate the handover to happen by early May.
Parents, thank you for your patience and understanding—especially those navigating the changes to aftercare collection. Once the new building is officially handed over, we’ll return to our usual pick-up procedures.
Follow us on Instagram [@TimourHallPrimary] for real-time updates and photos of our new building progress!
