Seasons Greetings and a Happy New Year

Another year goes by.  It was wonderful to experience the hustle bustle of 2024 and we ended the year with our traditional end of year dinner enjoyed by all our members.  On behalf of the PFA, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the wonderful teachers at our school who have stood by our students through every stage of their journey and helped them achieve their utmost best.  A big thank you to the entire EDSC community for the support given to the teachers and students.

 

This year we bid farewell to a very valued member of our PFA committee, Aban - The President as her youngest graduates from the school.

 

 As we bid farewell to some, we hope to welcome many new parents from the school community into our committee and look forward to seeing many of you in the new year.  Wishing everyone Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year.

                                                          PFA Committee

Next PFA Meeting 

The PFA will hold its next monthly meeting in the new year. 

 

Please look out for the date in the first Newsletter of 2025.  If any new members of the school community would like to join in, please email Aban at aban2309@yahoo.com and we will very happily add you on to the distribution list.
