School Kerbside Drop-Off
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We look forward to welcoming our VHPS community on Monday 26th August. To ensure smooth traffic flow and the safety of our students, we kindly request that all parents and guardians follow these drop-off and parking instructions:
One-Way System:
Please adhere to the one-way system indicated on the map (attached) when navigating around the school. This system is designed to maintain an efficient traffic flow around the school premises and ensure the safety of all children and adults.
What Gate?
Children in Year 1 and 2 should use Gate 2 for drop-off. Children in Years 3-6 should be dropped off at Gate 4.
Siblings:
If you have multiple children attending the school, please drop them off at the first designated stop to avoid making two separate stops.
Be ‘Bag Ready’:
Ensure your child has their bag/s ready when exiting the vehicle. This helps expedite the drop-off process and reduces delays. Parents are not required to exit the car. Our school staff will be present to assist children with safely exiting the vehicle.
Restricted Site Access:
Parents are not allowed on the school site at drop-off*. All children should be dropped off using kerbside drop-off or, alternatively, at the school gate on foot. This measure is in place for the safety and security of all students.
Year 1 Parents:
Parents of Year 1 students are welcome to drop their children off directly at the classroom. Please park by Grandiose Supermarket or the sand area opposite Gate 2 for this purpose. Starting from the October half-term, Year 1 parents will drop off children at Gate 2.
Encouraging Drop-Off:
We strongly encourage all parents of children in Years 2-6 to utilise the drop-off system. Parking space is limited, and site entry is restricted, making the drop-off system the most efficient and convenient option.
Thank you for your cooperation in following these guidelines. They are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of all students and to maintain a smooth traffic flow around the school premises. Your understanding and support are greatly appreciated.
*With the exception of Year 1 parents until the October half-term.
Many thanks,
The VHPS Team

New Campaign Alert!
Dear Parents,
We are thrilled to announce that our Victory Heights Primary School students will take the lead in our Moral, Social, and Cultural (MSC) lessons next academic year. We are launching an exciting new social media campaign called “Capture Culture” to kickstart this initiative. This campaign encourages you to teach us about your home country and compare it to the United Arab Emirates, the country we proudly call home. We need your help! Students and Parents, we invite you to be the stars of our ‘Capture Culture’ campaign. We want to hear your stories, see your traditions, and learn from your experiences.
Create a short video (between 1-5 minutes long) explaining life in your home country, covering aspects such as:
– National food
– Music
– Animals
– Dance
– Celebrations
– Traditional dress
– Language – We would love to hear you speak in your native language and then translate it into English for us.
Martim in Year 3 Yellow has produced an incredible example video to inspire you. These cultural campaign videos will be used in our MSC learning, and one will be featured on our social media each week. Whether you’re in FS1 or Year 6, you have a part to play. Get creative and think outside the box! If you’re travelling to your home country during the summer, show us some famous landmarks or your favourite areas.
We are excited to see your creativity and learn from your experiences. Please send your video entries anytime during the summer break to Ms. Nóra at [ndoherty@vhprimary.com]We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Regards,
VHPS Team
Importance of Timely School Arrival
Dear Parents
We have noticed an increase in students arriving late, and we want to highlight the importance of punctuality for a successful learning experience.
Being on time sets a positive tone for the day, allowing students to start calmly, engage fully in class, and not miss important instructions. Consistent tardiness can disrupt the class and impact your child’s learning.
While we understand occasional lateness, we kindly request your help in stressing the significance of being on time. Together, we can create a more focused and productive learning environment for all.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
