(2017-2018)

Dear Families,

It has been a fascinating week at TCS! There were science quizzes, International Days, Sports Days,

Inter-Taleb Islamic Competition and an amazing year 11 Talent Day, which they named Talentless?

However, they proved our students are anything but talentless, with so many skills and performances on

show, and great food from all over the world to enjoy.

We also had another visitor from a Canadian university, Memorial in Novia Scotia, and all 11, 12 and 13

learned more about Canada, and applying to universities there, as well as Memorial itself. We will have

more visitors, and also meetings for all ages in the coming months, concerning university applications.

Year 12 and 13 will be and have been applying already, while year 9 and 11 will be making choices that

affect their options for future education.

TCS is moving towards exam week, and I am sure all students are getting ready with revision and

practice tests. Our teachers are preparing exams, and ICT practical exams have already started for some

students. Remember to check the schedule and sort out home time during the exams.

In a few weeks time, we will all be having a welcome break, well deserved by all the students and staff

alike. Some tough weeks before that though, with exams, but it will all be worth it!

Mr Tim Sloman Principal, TCS

YEAR 8 INTERNATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION Year 8 celebrated international day on 14 November 2017, Tuesday. It was wonderful to see all the students in different dresses. It seems to be a miniature replica of the world. Almost 12 countries are accommodated in one hall. Students sat in country wise groups, each group representing their own country. Some dressed up in traditional attire as well they brought their country foods and shared with their friends. We enjoyed a lot of great food. Being a year head of Year8 I am grateful to all the authorities and teachers and supporting staff for the cooperation needed to make it successful.

They both did an excellent job in structuring and maintaining the seriousness of the programme as well

as the question presentation which was done properly and to the clarity of the students.

The participants were all arranged in different tables and given different group names, ranging from

PARTICLES to the A-TEAM. The students where all excited and they responded to every question to the

best of their knowledge.

The competition had 3 rounds; PICK A NUMBER, BUZZER ROUND AND GENERAL SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE

CALLED THE {GK}. The students score was written boldly on a board so as to ensure transparency in

every possible way as well as calculations for the final score.

The event ended with medals given to the winner of the competition; the A-TEAM which comprised of

students from 8A&9A, all in one team while TEAM PARTICLE 9B&8B won the silver (second position).

Conclusively, big thanks to the Head of the department of Science Ms. Sutapa, Misha and Nour (year 13

students) for all their support and their persistent effort towards achieving the best in the Science

departments.

Year 8 and 9 students proved their academic excellence which is worth appreciating.Based on the

opinion of the students they had great time participating and observing the competition.

“Talents Day”

Year 11students organized “Talents Day” on 16th November 2017. This

event was aimed to exhibit their talents and bring out the young stars of TCS. It

was a successful event where, along with the Principal, Assistant Principal and

witnessed some amazing talents.

This spectacular event consisted of a heated debate session; an astonishing

performance session; mouthwatering and remarkable advertorial cuisine and to cap

it off, the award ceremony, where the best talents were awarded from each

segment. The organizers also had a surprise competition where they gave awards to

the best cultural dress worn by students and teachers. It was a tough decision
