“Today you will observe your little stars shining on stage as they prepare for first grade next year. […] As we pass the torch to first grade, we invite you to celebrate their success today and hope you remain their backbone for many more successes to come.” – Ms. Judy Yammine
“Today has come so fast this year! It was only yesterday when they entered through the gates, some confident and a few in tears. Their journey held lots of experiences, hopes, and dreams.
Between yesterday and tomorrow, your children will stand before you today to help you disconnect into their world of courage through song and dance as we clap for their success.

Dear Parents,
بعد الاتصالات التي أجرتها وزارة التربية مع سيادة المطران رحمه ومع الأمانة العامة متمنية التعطيل يوم غد،
وبعد الضياع الذي عانت منه إدارات المدارس بسبب قرارات مفاجئة،
وتحاشيا عن أيّ تصرف غير مسؤول،
واحتراما للعيش المشترك ومدارسنا الكاثوليكية هي المؤتمنة على حمايته،
ولأن بعض المدارس قد قرر التعطيل لسبب أو لاخر،
ونزولاً عند طلب مرجعيات مختلفة من روحية ومدنية...،
تطلب الأمانة العامة من جميع المدارس الكاثوليكية التوقف عن التدريس يوم غد الخميس 6حزيران 2019
أنتم لستم مسؤولين عن ما صار بالماضي فأنتم ورثتم هذا الماضي ولكنكم ستكونون مسؤولين عما سيحدث في المستقبل

On May 8, members of the Red Cross came to Miss Rita El-Sokhn’s grade 8 Civics class and this was a very beneficial and exciting experience for me. I learned a lot about this significant NGO and the two members who came were very nice. It turned out that one of them attended Sagesse High School! The two volunteers encouraged us to join the Red Cross when we become seventeen years old, and I surely will. We also learned a lot from them regarding their ambulances, equipment, working hours, and how they help people.

The Physical Education Department, in collaboration with the ACP Department, organized hygiene activities for Grade 1 students.
Studies have shown that parental involvement in a child’s education has a major impact on his/her academic success and well-being. It improves students’ achievements, reduces absenteeism, and increases parents' confidence in their children's education.
In general, students with involved parents earn higher grades and have better social skills.
We believe that parents who are involved at school can offer valuable insight that may help teachers work with their child more effectively. Parents feel empowered to raise concerns and negotiate solutions with teachers.
SHS fosters healthy parental involvement through events and volunteer opportunities. We keep parents informed, and make the most out of parent-teacher conferences. We also encourage their participation in events, activities, and outings.
The following are stances that we follow in this matter:

بعيدًا عن المحاصصة والتوزيع الطائفيّ والمذهبيّ، تشكّلت حكومة الاستقلال الخامس والسبعين على أسس المعرفة والبحث والعِلم.
ففي كلّ شُعبة من الشُعَب الأربع للصفّ الأساسيّ الخامس، طُلب من كلّ تلميذ أن يقدّم مشروعه لوزارة (فكان هناك أربعة مرشّحين لكلّ وزارة). ثمّ قُيِّمت العروض في الصفّ، وعلى أساس المشروع وطريقة عرضه أُسندت الحقيبة إلى الوزير المختصّ.
وعند تعادل تلميذين، كان يطلب من أحدهما أن يستلم حقيبة وزاريّة ثانية، كونه أثبت جدارة في إعداد برنامجه والدفاع عن أفكاره.

غادرت إلى الولايات المتحدة الإميركيّة السيدة هلين ضو مديرة العلاقات العامة في مدرسة الحكمة هاي سكول في عين سعاده والمديرة التنفيذيّة والعضو المؤسس ل SAGESSE FOUNDATION – MARY MOTHER OF WISDOM لمؤسسة الحكمة - مريم أم الحكمة
In alignment with Sagesse High School’s mission statement, we aim to promote students as life-long learners and responsible citizens with strong ethical values. Parents also play an active role in promoting this mission when they practice positive discipline with their own children, and when they endeavor to become positive role models. Such role modeling becomes evident within the school community where matters are dealt with responsibly and respectfully, on or off school premises. In light of the mutual respect among its stakeholders, Sagesse High School aims to develop the parents’ profile as delivered below:
Sagesse High school would like to congratulate Sister Mary Delourdes on her retirement. We have valued her as a colleague and her hard work and diligence have greatly benefited our school.
As she will be leaving the position of the Fundraising Coordinator, we wish her the best in her future deeds.

With the purpose of improving cooperation and cohesion between Lebanese in the countries of expatriation and Lebanese residing in Lebanon, “Mary Mother of Wisdom – Sagesse Foundation” has been established in the United States of America to collect aid for Sagesse schools in Lebanon. This will contribute in enabling students with financial or educational difficulties to complete their education. The Foundation will also contribute in transferring the latest technological teaching tools from the US to Lebanon and exchanging knowledge, expertise and culture between students in both countries.
في إطار تعزيز التعاون والترابط بين اللبنانيين في دول الاغتراب واللبنانيين المقيمين في لبنان، تمّ تأسيس «مريم أم الحكمة/مؤسسة الحكمة» في الولايات المتحدة الأميركية لجمع المساعدات لمدارسالحكمة في لبنان، التي ستُساهم في تمكين التلامذة الذين يعانون من صعوباتٍ مالية أو صعوبات تعليمية من إكمال دراستهم. كما ستساهم بنقل أحدث الوسائل التكنولوجية التعليمية من أميركا إلى لبنان، وإلى تبادل المعرفة والخبرات والثقافات بين الطلاب في كلّ من البلدين.
Dear Parents/Legal Guardians,
Kindly take note of the amendment to the following section of the Child Protection Policy- Image Consent Form. The paragraph below has been added,
- The school, in its implementation of the Child Protection Policy, requires that students from grade 4 to grade 12 be well-informed of their rights and their parents’ / guardians’ decision not to have their photographs taken. To that end, students whose parents/guardians have not given consent for their child’s photograph to be taken or used, need to inform staff members.
جدّد مدير مدرسة الحكمة هاي سكول الأب غابي تابت مطالبته الدولة بإعتماد البطاقة التعليميّة التي، عبرها، تساهم في تغطية جزء من الأقساط المدرسيّة، للتخفيف عن كاهل المواطن الذي يدفع الضرائب كاملة لها. وفي الوقت الذي شدّد فيه على أنّ الأهل والاساتذة والمدرسة يعملون لهدف واحد، متمثل بتربية الطلاب وتعليمهم، استهجن توجيه السهام على المدارس الخاصّة، وتحويل المدارس الكاثوليكيّة الى كبش محرقة في كلّ مرة يُحكى فيها عن زيادة الأقساط المدرسيّة.
أكدت إدارة مدرسة الحكمة "هاي سكول" في بيان تعليقًا على الاعتصام الشعبي السلمي لأهالي عين سعادة والمنصورية، وتوضيحًا لموقفها، "أن المدرسة بعيدة عن تأثيرات خطوط التوتر العالي، وبالتالي لا تعتبر أن الأمر يشكل أي نوع من الخطر على تلامذتها والعاملين فيها".
ولفتت أن "المدرسة قد شاركت فياعتصامات سابقة بدافع التضامن مع أهالي المنطقة"، متمنية أن "تنتهي هذه المسألة بالشكل الذي يضمن المصلحة العامة".
Dear All
