Back to school in Dubai - an event always marked with a mix of nostalgia, excitement, and anticipation. The end of a glorious summer vacation filled with catching up with friends, travelling, and spending quality time with family brings with it the familiar rhythm and routine of school life.

For many, summer vacations are more than just a break; they are a period of rejuvenation. I spent my days recounting old memories with childhood friends and making new ones with my family. Late-night gatherings with family and friends, as well as my travel plans gave me the energy and motivation to gear up for the upcoming academic year. As the vacation came to an end, the preparations began in earnest. New challenges, new students, and a hint of nervous excitement as we discussed the changes and developments awaiting us in the new school year.

Our school has always believed in the strength of community and the power of sisterhood. It's a haven for young women where we learn, grow, and inspire one another.
