As we get ready to welcome you back to a new academic year, we celebrated the Emirati Women's Day by asking ourselves what IB learner values do Zayed's daughters in Raha Gardens showcase.

From curiosity in their early years, to going beyond with open-mindedness, we truly emerge stronger with the right skill set. Comment below the value you think relates to you the most.

A little glimpse into the beginning of a new journey.

We welcomed our new EY1 families to Raha Gardens for a special morning of discovery, connection and breakfast together. Our youngest learners had the opportunity to explore their classrooms, meet their teachers and begin getting familiar with the spaces where so many exciting moments will unfold.

For parents, it was a chance to experience a little of what a day at Raha Gardens will look and feel like, and for our new students, a gentle first step towards feeling at home.

Some journeys are remembered not for the milestones, but for the people who walk beside us.

Every smile shared, every lesson learned, every word of encouragement and every moment of belonging becomes part of a story that stays with us long after the school day ends.

To our students, families, teachers, support staff and wider Raha Gardens community, thank you for standing alongside one another through every season. Your unwavering support, compassion and sense of togetherness; through moments of celebration and moments of challenge, are what make this community so special. It is because of each of you that our school is more than a place to learn; it is a place to grow, together.

As our students share their school journey in just one word, we're reminded that the moments we create together, and the people we share them with, leave the greatest impact.

What one word would you use to describe your journey?

Dear Parents and Members of the Raha Gardens Community,

It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news that our much-loved Vice Principal, Carol Pratt, tragically passed away in Canada on 20th July 2026.

Carol was an exceptional educational leader whose kindness, warmth and unwavering commitment touched the lives of countless students, colleagues, and families. She was deeply respected and admired by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with her. Her passion for education, her generosity of spirit and the genuine care she showed to everyone she met made a lasting difference to so many lives.

As a community, we extend our deepest condolences to Carol's family, friends and all those whose lives she touched. We know that many within our Raha Gardens family will be deeply saddened by this loss and join together in remembering an extraordinary educator, colleague and friend.

We remember Carol with immense gratitude, cherish the legacy she leaves behind, and hold her family and loved ones close in our hearts.

With deepest sympathy,
Raha International School - Gardens Campus
