Alhamdullilah What a year! Fast paced, forever up and down, getting It from everywhere and sometimes you might have just felt swamped by things totally out of your control thus impacting on your lives. My wish and Dua for you all, as we exit this year is that when you do take that quiet time to reflect, do not ponder on the bad, the ugly and the negative, but to make a positive choice and to decide to keep on track and to get yourself to a place where you can look back and say: I am on the right track, because I am really not interested in looking back at the negatives”. Seize every moment of every day. Make sure that your days and actions are accounted for by sharing, loving, giving, laughter and reaching out. I would like to thank each and every one of you, parents, learners, a special thanks to our principal Nadia Motara , deputy principal and my esteemed colleagues for your support throughout the year. For many of us the December holidays means time spent on a sunny beach, for some it is discovering new cultures and exploring distant and exotic lands. Fortunate are those who will be undertaking the journey of Umrah. May Allah protect you all on your travels. Ameen. Wasalaam “Traveling- it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller"- Ibn Battuta” HAVE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL BACK SAFE, SOUND AND REJUVINAT ED! INSHA ALLAH CHARACTER LIVES IN MY BEHAVIOUR” From the Principal’s Desk… As Salaam u Alaikum parents As the year draws to a close I would like to thank all staff, parents and learners for making 2015 a memorable year for APAX! So much has been achieved and so many valuable lessons learnt! This year, we worked hard at building and improving home-school relationships. Alhamdulillah, with the support of the Board of Managers and the PTA, we have successfully managed to achieve this. Our success at APAX is largely due to the fantastic teamwork amongst all stakeholders. Sharing a common vision is what it is all about! As we move closer to the New Year, I trust that all of you will continue to assist us in helping our school reach a new level next year. Our focus for 2016 will be on character building. Our slogan is: “CHARACTER LIVES IN MY BEHAVIOUR” Jazakallah for a great year and may the Almighty continue to bless each and every one of you! Have a well-deserved rest and a peaceful holiday!
