the dream of the present School Chairman, Mr. Mohamed

tion. A modest villa in which to start the School (September 1979)
was found until in 1984, with a population of some 1500 students of
all ages, a purpose-built school was opened. Since that time there
have been innumerable developments to ever improve the facilities
