around the clock to complete the structural work in record time.

Hani Raydan, General Manager of Bloom Education, said: "Bloom Properties is committed to delivering
on its promise of completing the project on schedule. Our joint efforts with the contractors, mandated to
comply with our stringent quality standards, are beginning to bear fruit. The dedication of all involved in
the project is truly commendable and has resulted in the completion of structural works earlier than
forecast."

Dhabi. The Admissions Office is receiving parents wishing to enrol children for classes from
Pre-Reception (age 3) to Grade 9 (age 13).

looking forward to receiving students for the next school year. We are also confident that our institution
