Mini and Junior Leopards!
We are so excited to have over 100 children attend our Mini and Junior Leopards basketball practice sessions last week! Our Mini and Junior Leopard programs provide amazing opportunities for our students to develop their athletic skills and their understanding of the importance of good sportmanship and teamwork. The students in these programs are the current foundation and the exciting future of our DAA Leopard Athletics community. We would like to thank you, our proud Leopard parents, for you ongoing support with this.
AQUATICS

Well done to our amazing Swimmers.
Go Leopards!

Term Three After School Activities
IMPORTANT SIGN UP DETAILS
Registration of all external (paid and offered by External Providers) activities will be through the ESM portal
In order to provide and collect all the information in a timely manner we require our DAA parents to fill out all fields and information asked of them during sign ups on the ESM portal.
Please ensure that you have the following information at hand before signing up and entered correctly, leaving no field blank as that requires for us to enter information manually for each student significantly delaying the data collection process:

Student Id Number
Parent’s email

Contact number
Enter your child’s name and spelling as it appears in GEMS connect (parent portal) as well as their Student ID number.
Please note that the Student ID number is not the same as their Emirates ID number. You may find the student ID number on your GEMS connect and the back of your lanyard. For example- 12400100234567 or 234567
The phone number and email address entered should be in use as all after school activity communication will be sent to that email address and phone number.
