Assalam u Alaikum,
We are thrilled to share the excitement and success of our very first ICNEV Learning Center Field trip to the Odysea Aquarium! The trip was an enriching experience for our students, providing them with hands-on learning opportunities and valuable insights beyond the classroom walls. This field trip helped them explore and marvel at the wonderful creations of Allah SWT.
We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to our principal Sr. Aneesa Ijaz and vice principal Sr Shaazia Mian for their tireless efforts in making this field trip a reality. Since taking on their new roles at ICNEV Weekend School they have been enhancing our students' educational experiences in different ways. We are are truly grateful for their leadership and guidance.
We also want to thank our dedicated teachers and chaperones for their commitment and hard work in ensuring the success and safety of our students throughout the trip. Their passion for education and dedication to our students' growth is truly inspiring.
