Dear Parents and Students,

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many hardships, life lessons, and sacrifices to everyone in Brunei and other parts of the world. These were no doubt challenging and frightening times. And yet, we pulled together as a school community and persevered through adversity in embracing the 'new normal'. We are grateful for the overwhelming support, cooperation, encouragement, patience, and understanding from parents during these challenging times.

The lifting of international travel restrictions in September this year has allowed us to now travel outside of Brunei, particularly during this long school holiday. We wish that you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday with your family. Stay safe, stay healthy, and take care.

May you have a Happy New Year, and we look forward to meeting you in the year 2023!
