At Al Rabeeh School
A
t Al Rabeeh School, every child is expected to bring a bag to school each day with their essential items such as lunchbox, water bottle
, and pencil case. We prioritise the health and well-being of our students, which includes adhering to ADEK’s policy that school bags should not exceed 20% of a student’s body weight. To support this, we encourage parents to ensure that only essential items are packed each day, such as books and materials specifically required for that day’s lessons. By following this policy, we aim to promote good posture and prevent strain, ensuring students are comfortable and ready to learn.
