School resumes on Tuesday, September 16th, 2025, and we are bursting with excitement to welcome our precious students back for another enriching and impactful academic year—2025/2026.
As we step into this new season of learning, our hearts are full of gratitude, anticipation, and joy. We give thanks to God for His faithful guidance and protection through the past year, and we enter this new chapter with confidence in His continued grace and loving care. May His presence cover every classroom, every child, and every dream this year holds.
We’re looking forward to a year alive with growth, discovery, laughter, and purpose. From meaningful learning moments to character-building experiences, we are committed to nurturing each child to flourish in every way—academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
To all our families—thank you for walking this journey with us. Your trust and support are the heartbeat of our community. Together, let’s make this school year truly unforgettable.
Here’s to fresh beginnings, flourishing minds, and a beautiful year ahead!
Our school gates will open bright and early at 6:30 AM, and classes will begin promptly at 8:00 AM. We kindly encourage all parents to help their children arrive on time, so they can ease into the day feeling calm, confident, and ready to learn!
Punctuality is more than just being on time—it helps our students start their day with purpose, participate fully in our morning routines, and set a positive rhythm for the rest of the day. Every minute counts, and those first few moments really do make a difference!
Thank you for your continued support in helping us create a joyful, focused, and enriching learning environment from the very start each morning. We’re looking forward to a wonderful school year—see you bright and early!
With full hearts and deep gratitude, we look back on our 10th Anniversary celebrations and declare—to God be all the glory! What a beautiful and unforgettable season it has been.
As we bring this decade-long celebration to a close, we are deeply reminded of how far we’ve come—and how faithfully God has led us every step of the way. From our humble beginnings to the vibrant, thriving school community we are today, this milestone stands as a powerful testimony of grace, growth, and God’s unwavering goodness.
We extend our sincerest thanks to our dedicated staff, amazing students, supportive parents, alumni, and friends of Marigold. Thank you for standing with us, praying with us, and celebrating with us. Your presence, encouragement, and participation brought life, color, and joy to every moment of our anniversary.
Through every event, every shared story, every warm smile and heartfelt reflection, we were able to honour our roots, celebrate our journey, and look forward with renewed vision and purpose. Together, we have woven a beautiful tapestry of love, learning, and legacy over the past ten years.
As we step into this next chapter, we do so with humility, hope, and a firm commitment to excellence in learning and character formation, grounded in the Christian values that have always been at the heart of Marigold.
Once again, thank you for being a part of this incredible story. We’re excited for what lies ahead—and we hold fast to the promise that “He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1
Here’s to the next 10 years—and beyond!
As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, we are thrilled to unveil a brand-new school uniform! This fresh and thoughtful design marks a beautiful new chapter in our Marigold journey—reflecting our growth, vision, and continued commitment to excellence.
The new uniform will serve as the official attire for all students moving forward. However, during this transition period, please note that the current uniforms will still be accepted and remain in circulation until they are gradually phased out.
We truly appreciate your support, understanding, and enthusiasm as we step into this exciting season—looking smart, confident, and united in purpose.
Here’s to new beginnings and looking our very best as we grow together!

Looking Smart, Feeling Proud!
As we begin a fresh academic year, we kindly remind all parents to ensure that students follow the school’s approved uniform standards in both style and color. Maintaining a neat and unified appearance helps promote school pride, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

A gentle reminder to kindly provide your child with a snack for the school day. To help us maintain a smooth and focused routine, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting school staff to purchase snacks on your behalf.
When children come to school prepared with their own snacks, it allows us to keep the day running efficiently and ensures that every child is well cared for.
