In Episode 6 of DisruptEd, Dr. Adil asks parent Kabeen Khadar what he was looking for in a school for his daughter.

For Kabeen, it wasn’t just about academics. The right school had to offer a twist, a place that goes beyond traditional learning to focus on future-readiness, digital literacy, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Then it came down to a gut feeling, a sense of alignment with the school’s values, and a clear vision for what learners need to thrive tomorrow.

We’re so grateful to hear our Citizens parents speak proudly about the amazing work at our Year 7 & Year 8 PBL showcase.

It means so much to see our learners’ creativity, curiosity, and collaboration being recognised and celebrated by our wider school community. Their projects are a testament to the hard work, imagination, and growth they`ve experienced — and hearing your kind words reminds us why we do what we do.

Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and for being such an important part of their learning journey. Moments like these show the power of partnership between school and home in nurturing confident, future-ready learners.
