GREETINGS ALL AND WELCOME TO BAVA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL!
Welcome and seasonal greetings to all our new and old families. It is my greatest pleasure to take this opportunity to welcome you all to Bava International School. Nothing gives me this much pleasure as welcoming back the beautiful smiles and sounds of our dear little children. We sincerely look forward to meeting and serving you.
Today marks the first day of the 2019 School Year Calendar! Four Terms inclusive and dates of each will become available in later issues. There is going to be so much to share as we progress into each ensuing term. So much to learn and so much to share between the school and home. We hope to share this joint responsibility of caring and educating your children.
We aim for all students to be happy and to be challenged in a supportive, safe and conducive environment. The first term is the most challenging of the four terms. Reasons are various, but those affected the most is usually because of their first time away from home/familiar environment and circumstances. I wish to assure you especially our new families joining us for the first time, to please lend us your support and confidence. We will do our outmost to serve your children in the best ways that we have been doing so for the past twenty eight years.
If you should need anything clarified please kindly enquire at the front desk with Mrs Mary Tione who can serve you appropriately.
