With that goal in mind our administrative and teaching staff has been carefully chosen to ensure that your children receive the optimum level of education. Having stated that we’d like to welcome you to a new school year, where our dedicated team of teachers with your invaluable help will endeavor to establish and maintain the school rules and standards. We fully understand that a successful school year cannot be complete without your instrumental contribution, so we’d like to extend an open invitation to support us with your input on any issue you think you might be able to help us with. To our wonderful students, this is the start of a new year, a new beginning. We ask you not to dwell on the past but to learn from it and work on improving yourselves, don’t let past letdowns stop you from reaching new heights, use them as stepping stones instead to become the best you can be. You are the pride of our school, and because of that we will do our best to make you shine. My dear students, we need your help as much as you need ours, we want you to follow the established rules because they were created with you in mind. We want you to be the best you can be because then you’ll never settle for second best. You are our greatest asset, so help us show you off. Mrs. Najah Jabak School Principal Let us work together to make PIS the best. ?What was said about Phoenix 8 ?WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT PHOENIX رّ التبية كطائر الفينيق ...تجدُّ د دائم بإرشاقة الحياة te vec cet ailler a v a me r t m o e es c eur d iv t n u n c o e h s ’l mes con J’ai eu une de nnees ’l a t 2 u f r e u o .C rience ecole p usique es expe s m u e e d u t r c u u s et fr c ces arrange essante ion ave r t e r c e a t r e in t tive qu in plus ’uelle l i educa s q s la u a t e n t e penda ns m’a musicie s e n u . je …t quemen recipro بقلم :د .سلطان نارصالدّين اإلنسان كائنٌ ّ حي عاقل ٍ واع .وقوى الوعي لديه ثالث :املعرفة ،ال ّذاكرة ،الخيال .فهو يف حالة دامئة ّ من اكتساب ا ملعرفة، واملعرفة هي ا ل تي تن ّمي االستعدادات الكامنة فيه ،وتح ّولها إىل قوى عاملة. وال ّذاكرة تعينه عىل العيش ً يف الزّمان واملكان ماض ًيا وحارضا ومستقب ًال .أ ّما الخيال فهو الّذي يساعده ّح ر ر من عىل الت ّ املكان أو التّك ّيف معه ،وعىل التّح ّرك يف الزّمان ،وهو العامل األساس يف االبتكار ّ واإلبداع ومواكبة كل جديد. ليست األسطورة ّ قصة خراف ّية ،مّإنا هي نوع من أنواع األدب عمدته الخيال ،بل هي أعىل أنواع الخيال ،تعكس عم ًقا فلسف ًّيا ،والفلسفة هي العصب النّابض ّ لكل عمل .وما مي ّيز األسطورة هو السد ّية والحيو ّية الكائنة يف ّ الحرك ّية الكامنة يف رّ الشخص ّية .وطائر الفينيق أسطورة تعني التّجدّد الدّائم بإرشاقة الحياة أمام ال ت ّح د ّ ّيات، ّ بل إ ن ها تعني التّجدّد الذي يُصدر اإلشعاع والنّور والحرف للعالَم .طائر الفينيق طائر يغ ر ّ ّد ،له جناحان ،بهام يحلق ويطري يف ّ السامء .يو ّزع تغريداته فيؤنس ّ ويريح ،ويرفرف بجناحيه فيزيد ّ السامء والطبيعة جامالً. رّ والتبية كطائر ا ّلفينيق .هي عمل ّية متج ّددة تعيش الحارض املستند إىل ال ّذاكرة (املايض) ،وتسترشف امل ستقبل. هي ا ل تي تساعد اإلنسان عىل االبتكار واإلبداع ومواكبة متط ّلبات التّط ّور ،والتّط ّور سنّة طبيع ي ة من س نن ُ الحياة .رّ ّ التبية ليست اجرتا ًرا للمعرفة؛ إ ّنها تتّخذ املعرفة شحنات يف خدمة الخيال، ّ والخيال هو ّ مصدر ال ن ّور. إن ّ الط ائر ّ ال ي ستطيع أن يح ل ق إ ال ب جناحيه ،وكذا رّ التبية ال ميكن أن تح ّقـق غايتها ّ السامية إ ّال بجناحني :ال ِعلم واألخالق. املؤسسات رّ نحن مدع ّوون جمي ًعا يف ّ التبو ّية -مدارس ومعاهد وجامعات -أن نعيش رّ التبية ونعايشها ،ونكون دامئًا كطائر الفينيق ،نعيش التّجدّد ونعايشه. تجديد نظرتنا إىل الحياة سبيل إىل العيش بنجاح يف الحياة .وتجديد النّظرة يتط ّلب تجديد األفكار. ّ وتجديد األفكار يتط ل ب جرأة يف ال ت ّخ ّيل. ّإن بقاء ّ الطائر يف ّ عشه يحر ُمه صفته ّ الخاصة ،فهو اسم من الفعل “طار” ،و”طار” يعني “ح ّلق”. فهل عشنا الحركة الدّامئة يف رّ التبية والتّحليق الدّائم واإلبداع الدّائم؟ ue ian Missak siteur de musiq e r d n a o p m Alex o C et eur Arrang Je sen sp “Phoe arfois que nix In je vis te d j’ente nds, p rnational S ans l’Etabl isse arler c h scola ool”, t de cet ire: so ellem ment Etabl n org ent les va issem anisa leurs e t n i o t q n u’i comm parfa i unica l promeut , et su te, tion e admi ntre d r tout nistra ire la tifs et basée élèves ction-prof sur le e , com sseur r trans muni paren espect mu cation stuel e ce. t la J Nina Assist reissaty a Collèg nte de Dir e e des Saint ction s Cœu rs Za hlé - R assié need to believe in the If we want success, we living is is what I feel about future generations.
