A Message from the Head of Primary
Dear Parents, Students, and Visitors,
Welcome to the vibrant and inspiring world of DIA Al Barsha Primary! It is with great joy and excitement that I extend my warmest greetings to each and every one of you. Whether you are a part of our awesome community or simply exploring the possibilities of joining us, we are thrilled to have you here.
At DIA Al Barsha, we believe in the power of dreams and the limitless potential within each of our students – yes, might sound cliché, but it’s TRUE. That is why we have embraced our guiding philosophy, encapsulated in our acronym DIAB: Dream, Inspire, Achieve, Belong.
Dream: We encourage our students to dream big and envision a future filled with endless possibilities. We foster their imagination, creativity, and curiosity, empowering them to set ambitious goals and pursue their passions with unwavering determination.
Inspire: We strive to inspire our students to reach for greatness, to make a positive impact on their world, and to be catalysts for change. Through engaging learning experiences, dedicated teachers, and a vibrant community, we ignite the spark within each student, fuelling their desire to make a difference.
Achieve: We are committed to providing our students with the tools, knowledge, and skills they need to achieve their goals. Our rigorous academic programme, supported by the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), cultivates critical thinking, resilience, and a love for learning, equipping our students for success in an ever-changing world.
Belong: We believe that a sense of belonging is essential for the holistic development of our students. We foster an inclusive and nurturing environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and supported. Through strong connections, meaningful relationships, and a vibrant community, we create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can thrive.
Together, through the DIAB philosophy, we inspire our students to dream fearlessly, to discover their passions, to achieve their goals, and to embrace their sense of belonging. We are dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals who possess the skills, knowledge, and character to make a positive impact on the world.
Here at DIA Al Barsha, we are known as the SHARKS, and our school mascot embodies the spirit of determination, resilience, and teamwork. Just like sharks, our students fearlessly navigate the depths of knowledge, continuously growing and evolving as they explore new horizons.
On behalf of our dedicated staff, I extend an invitation to you to join us on this remarkable journey of learning and discovery. Together, let us inspire, empower, and support our students as they realise their full potential and become the leaders and change-makers of tomorrow.
I look forward to welcoming you to DIA Al Barsha, where dreams come alive, passions are ignited, and a world of possibilities awaits.
Shark greetings,
Candice Combrinck
Head of Primary
