Welcome to the National Orthodox School – Shmaisani
It is with great honour and a profound sense of responsibility that I welcome you to the National Orthodox School – Shmaisani.
For nearly seven decades, the Orthodox Educational Society (OES), founded in 1957, has remained committed to the transformative power of education and to nurturing generations of young people who carry with them knowledge, values, and a sense of responsibility towards their communities and the world around them. Today, we are proud to continue this remarkable legacy while shaping the next chapter of our story.
At NOS, we believe that education extends far beyond academic achievement. It is about knowing and valuing every student, recognising their unique strengths, inspiring curiosity, nurturing character, and empowering young people to discover their voice, purpose, and potential. We aspire to create an environment where excellence and empathy go hand in hand, where diversity is embraced, where questions are welcomed, and where integrity, respect, compassion, and responsibility guide our actions.
As I begin my journey as Principal, I am deeply honoured to lead a school with such a distinguished heritage and such a strong sense of community. I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff, supportive parents, committed OES leadership, and, most importantly, our students, to ensure that NOS continues to be a place where every individual feels valued, inspired, and empowered to flourish.
As we look ahead, we will honour the traditions and values that have shaped us, while remaining courageous and curious about what the future holds.
Our heritage gives us roots.
Our values give us direction.
And our students give us reason to look confidently towards the future.
Together, let us build on what generations before us have created and continue to make NOS a place where excellence has purpose, learning has meaning, and every student has the opportunity to become the very best version of themselves.
Welcome to NOS — where every journey matters, every voice has value, and every future holds possibility.
School Principal
