1 April 23, 2017 FROM THE PRINCIPAL S DESK Research is clear. The student-teacher relationship has the greatest impact on student learning, even beyond curriculum. We pride ourselves on being a school where every student is known, where the connection amongst students and faculty feels like family, where big dreams and aspirations are fulfilled. If you don t have great teachers, you don t have a great school and nothing else is going to change that. Todd Whitaker, What Great Teachers Do Differently. In Hollywood they say casting is everything. If you pick the right actors to star in your movie, odds are better it will be a box office blockbuster. The same holds true for schools. If the staff and teachers are great, odds are the school will be great. At a recent staff meeting, we welcomed our new teachers - all highly qualified specialists who have been carefully chosen for their proven ability to ignite the curiosity of learning in every student, help them improve in areas of weakness, and shine in areas of strength and interest. The world is changing, and GMS is responding. We are researching innovative ways to prepare our students for the future and implementing revolutionary flexibility to make that possible. Our STEM programmes are amongst the most popular and our students have shown time and again that if you can imagine it, you can create it. We have already seen results but our sights are set higher much higher. Our doors are always open and we welcome your inputs. Please do not hesitate to discuss your suggestions or share your thoughts and ideas to help us make this an extraordinary year for your child.

2 Page 2 Kids Creative Café Pens help create words and sentences and express pictures and ideas. They create stories and tales and compose charming poems. Sharjah Children s Reading Festival (SCRF) has a specially designed programme called The Creative Kids Café which is being held daily from 19 April to 29 April, 2017 at the Sharjah Expo Centre. Students from the globe and from within the U.A.E were invited to be a part of this program which was devised to inspire children to invest their time in writing, reading and other creative activities. Thousands of children who visited the festival enjoyed talking to them and were inspired by their amazing talent. Athmaja Kavia Bijo of Grade 9 G and Syed Zidane of Grade 6 B have the proud distinction of having been chosen as Guest Speakers at the Creative Kids Café, sharing their journey to becoming authors and publishing their books. Behind each unique and thoughtful literary creation is the creativity.

3 Page 3 Athmaja s Experience at the Kids Creative Café The Kids Creative Café at the Sharjah Children s Reading Festival was an experience that gave me a kind of freedom to express my views of writing and creativity. It was a platform where my views on things, though in their nascent stages, along with the various facets of different matters as viewed by different people were discussed and thus bolstered. The entire festival was an attempt at liberating our ideas of reading and writing through various programmes and activities, making people realize that literature is something that can be construed in many different ways. Speaking to my friends and others in the audience made me feel like a part of this endeavor; I am grateful to my school for having provided me with this opportunity. We will be sharing with you Syed Zidane s experience in the next Newsletter...
