SOCIAL CURRICULUM
Our girls enjoy and appreciate many opportunities to take responsibility within the school community and contribute to its future development. By the time they leave us to take up their places at leading Universities in this country and overseas, they are confident, articulate and independent. They are capable of thinking for themselves and are able to demonstrate a critical awareness of the world outside that which they are about to enter. They have a clear set of moral values and a sense of their own worth whilst being appreciative of that of others, they are the leading citizens of the future and are well prepared and keen to take on this role all that it involves. In addition, weekend Modrasah is usually organized for both day and boarder students to increase their moral and standard values.
Furthermore, the winner of annual Spelling Bee competition becomes the One-Day Principal of the school. This is to inculcate the leadership qualities in the students from the outset.
