Welcome Welcome
Message from the Executive Director
“A very warm welcome back to school! We hope you had a restful and refreshing break. As we begin Term 3 of the 2024–2025 academic year, we are delighted to have your children back with us — ready to learn, grow, and shine. All glory to the Almighty for His grace and protection over the past term, and for bringing us safely into this new one. As we return, we do so with renewed energy and enthusiasm, ready to embrace a fresh chapter in our school journey — and another opportunity to thrive together.
This term builds on the strong foundations laid in Terms 1 and 2. We look forward with excitement to the opportunities, challenges, and growth that lie ahead. Let us work hand in hand to make this a season of collaboration, innovation, and excellence — where we continue to inspire and support each other in our shared pursuit of learning and discovery.
To our returning families, thank you for your continued support, trust, and partnership. And to our new parents and students — a heartfelt welcome to the Marigold family! We are thrilled to have you join our warm and vibrant school community.
At Marigold, we believe that school is more than just a place of education — it is a nurturing environment where creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning are celebrated every day. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff is here to guide and encourage your children every step of the way.
Here’s to a fantastic and rewarding Term 3 ahead! “

School resumes on April 22nd, 2025, and we can’t wait to welcome our students back for another exciting and impactful term. As we step into this new season of learning, we do so with hearts full of gratitude and hope.
We thank God for His faithful guidance and protection throughout the previous term, and we continue to trust in His loving care as we begin this next chapter. May His grace continue to surround our school community, and may His name always be praised for the many blessings we enjoy.
We look forward to a term filled with growth, discovery, and joyful moments of learning. Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and trust. Together, let’s make this term a memorable and successful one for all our learners.
Here’s to a fresh start and a wonderful term ahead!
Our school gates will open at 6:30 AM, with classes starting promptly at 8:00 AM. We encourage all parents to help their children arrive on time to ensure a smooth and settled start to the day.
Punctuality plays an important role in helping students participate fully in our morning routines and sets a positive tone for the rest of the day. We truly appreciate your continued support in helping us create a focused and enriching learning environment right from the start.
Dear Parents,
We kindly remind all families to ensure that students adhere to the school’s approved uniform standards in both style and color. For uniform consistency, we encourage the use of the school’s designated seamstress or tailor.
To maintain a neat and unified appearance, please take note of the dress code for each day of the week:
Mondays – Wednesday
Prescribed school uniform with black-leather shoes and black socks.
Thursday
School polo shirt with jeans, black sneakers and black socks.
Friday
School jersey, black shoes and black socks
Students who are not in the appropriate uniform will not be permitted into the classroom. Your cooperation in upholding these standards is greatly appreciated, as it helps foster discipline, unity, and a strong sense of school identity.
Thank you for your continued support.
We kindly request that parents provide snacks for their children for the school day. We ask that you refrain from requesting school staff to purchase snacks, as it may disrupt our daily routines. Ensuring your child arrives with their own snacks helps us maintain a smooth and efficient school day. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

This policy ensures that every student receives equal attention and support, fostering a balanced and inclusive environment.
We understand that many parents wish to express their appreciation. Therefore, we encourage the tradition of giving gifts during our end-of-term “Bring and Share” parties. This allows us to collectively celebrate and show gratitude without affecting the fairness we strive to uphold.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to create a supportive, equitable space for all students.
✅ Policy on Equipment Damage
At Marigold School, we foster a sense of responsibility in our students, encouraging them to take proper care of school property. In the event of any damage to equipment, we follow these steps:

2. Assessment: The school will evaluate the extent of the damage and determine whether repairs or replacements are required.
3. Responsibility for Damages: If a student is found to be responsible for the damage, their parents will be asked to cover the associated costs for repairs or replacement.
4. Payment: Payment for any damages must be made within 30 days from the time the damage is assessed.
5. Resolution Process: Should there be any concerns or disagreements regarding the damage or costs, parents or guardians are welcome to schedule a meeting with the school administration to discuss the matter.
This policy ensures that our school property remains in excellent condition for all students to use and enjoy. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
✅ Policy on Absences Without Prior Notice
At Marigold School, we understand that there may be occasions when parents need to withdraw their children from school. However, To maintain clear communication and an organized academic environment, we ask that the following guidelines be adhered to:

We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines, which help ensure the smooth operation of our school and provide the best experience for all students.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
Thank you for your understanding!
