Dear Parents
On Wednesday 13th December from 3.30pm – 8pm, the British Secondary School will be holding the first Key Stage 3 Parents’ Evening. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s KS3 report which will be issued the week beginning 10th December.
Students will receive appointment sheets from Monday. Please liaise with them the best time to meet with their teachers.
We look forward to meeting with you at our new campus in New Giza.
The British Student Council nominations are now complete and the first two meetings have taken place. Each tutor group has two representatives who belong to one of the following committees:
Each committee is led by a sixth form student and are overseen by the Heads and Deputies. So far the council has helped to organize fundraising events, a recycling project, teacher articles for the website and clothing collections. They are a very proactive group of young people who are sure to make their mark this year and I look forward to working with them.
Good luck Student Council!

In continuation of our community service; grade 11 and 12 seniors have volunteered to do roofing repairs at an underprivileged village in Giza. While boys were busy in roofing; our girls were distributing home appliances to Brides..Thank you to Resala NGO for providing this opportunity
Well done seniors; you have brought happiness and laughter to many families.
CHARITY DRIVE
As you may have noticed Winter is fast approaching and the weather is getting cold. The British and American Senior/Secondary schools will be running a charity drive over the next two weeks collecting blankets, shoes, socks and any other warm clothing to give to people in need. If you have anything to donate please send it in to school over the next two weeks and ask your child to put it into the boxes beside the flagpole. The section that donates the most will win a prize (American or British)!
Special thanks to Dr. Ahmed Badr and Ms Rania for honouring us with their presence to give out a presentation about the environment and recycling in Egypt for our Year 9 students.
AMERICAN MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS’ DAY
Tuesday November 21st
Dear Parents,
Parents’ Day for the American Middle and High School is on Tuesday, November 21st. We very much hope that you will take this opportunity to come and discuss your child’s progress with the teachers and we suggest that your child accompanies you to Parents’ Day. Staff will be available to see you from 8.30 – 11.00 and 11.30 – 2.30.
When you arrive, please be sure to first register with our Senior Students at the Information Desk in the main outside plaza (in front of the Staff Room). They will give you information on teacher’s room locations and a map of the building. Schedule a meeting time by choosing a free time slot on the appointment form that will be found outside each of your child’s classrooms. Please stick to these times to ensure that you get to see each of your child’s teachers and avoid long waiting periods. Check your child’s teacher list on your Sycamore account and/or bring his/her class schedule with you as it will help you to keep track of who you need to see in each of your child’s subject areas.
Please note that as we share a number of staff across both schools, the following teachers will only be available at these times.
Mrs. Nada Greiss From 11:30am to the end of the day
Mr. Scott Snell From 8:30 – 10:45am
Mr Amr Attia From 9:15am – 1:00pm
Mrs. Enas Salah El Din From 9:15am – 1:00pm
Mr. Hanro Van Der Merwe From 9:15am – 12:00pm
In addition to meeting your child’s teachers, there will be a parent information session to update you on the various databases and tools available through the library for all students:
Library Information Session for Parents 11:00 Library
PLEASE ENTER THE SCHOOL FROM GATE 4 WHERE YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE AMERICAN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. Tea, coffee and snacks will be available from 8.15 am in the outdoor student café area. We respectfully request that parents do not enter the Staffroom and a reminder that our campus is a non-smoking campus.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
Yours sincerely,
Allison Fleet
American School Principal
