explicit opinion of the school principal on the original request. Therefore, please do not refer any request to us in
the future unless it is accompanied by your opinion on the subject. For example, when requesting a leave (we support
what was stated in the request of the aforementioned person and we have no objection to granting him the leave, and this does not conflict with the progress of
teaching).
2- Please submit requests for special or regular leave before
taking it by a suitable period. Anyone absent before obtaining approval will be considered absent without pay
whether with or without an excuse.
3- All school administrations are requested to keep a register for the addresses of male and female teachers,
male and female instructors, employees, and workers, provided that it is the permanent address, and the
signature of the address owner is taken on the page where his address is recorded to enable notifying him when
absence occurs, or issuing notices, or summoning him for any reason whatsoever. The school principal shall be
responsible for notification and informing you when the new address is changed.
We hope that we will all cooperate to overcome these difficulties ⟦line⟧ .

Lyrics by Shams al-Din Abdullah | Composed by Mahmoud al-Sharif
God is Greatest | God is Greatest
God is Greatest above the aggressor's plot | and God is the best supporter of the oppressed
With certainty and with weapons I shall sacrifice for | my homeland, and the light of truth shines in my hand
Say with me, say with me | God is Greatest
God is Greatest above the aggressor
God is Greatest | God is Greatest
O world, look out and listen | The enemy army has come seeking my downfall
With truth I shall shake him, and with my cannon | And if I perish, I shall make him perish with me
Say with me, say with me | God is Greatest
God is above the aggressor
God is Greatest | God is Greatest
Say with me ⟦..⟧ woe to the colonizer | and God is above the treacherous tyrant
And God is Greatest, O my country, cry out | and take the forelock of the raider and destroy
Say with me, say with me | God is Greatest

Anthem: Banner of the Arabs
Lyrics by Muhammad al-Ati | Composed by Abdel Wahab al-Sheikhly
Flutter above the sky of the Arabs | in the heights above the heads of the shooting stars
And be safe from the calamities of fate | Banner of the Arabs, by my mother and father
The leap of the Arabs, and you are the hope | and tomorrow our hopes will be fulfilled
And upon our desert shall be defeated | the determinations of the usurping conqueror
We are from Mudar, from Ya'rub
With shed blood nations live | and upon the heads the flag rises
Cast away the soul cheaply to be honored | he who defends his land is not defeated
We are from Mudar, from Ya'rub
Baghdad, take pride in Saturn | and stand tall like a mountain in glory and loftiness
Through you, I revived hope in souls | a nation whose mother has not failed
We are from Mudar, from Ya'rub

Anthem: Unity of the Arabs
Lyrics by Anwar
The unity of the Arabs was manifested in wishes | and the world of the Arabs flourished in its shadow
So upon the desert, the light overflowed | and upon the valley, the breaths of joy
A happy feast has appeared and drawn near
Al-Zawra sang the good news of the union | and upon Al-Fayha, the melodies of longing
Umm al-Qura lit up all the lands | and Sana'a healed for the clear light
We all owe allegiance to the great unity
The Nile embraced and whispered to Barada | so the passion of the valley of the two Euphrates was moved
O anthem of eternity, the horizon has rung | calling out to gather the forces
Bring the distance near, for the separation has been long

Lyrics - Abd al-Sattar al-Qabbani | Music - Ruhi al-Khammash
My Arab brother everywhere, my brother in Algeria, my brother in Oman
My brother, the call of struggle has called you; my brother, you have been called to a fierce war
A call that summoned you to lift injustice, to close ranks, and to unite the word
To carry arms in the face of enemies, to ignite war, and to offer blood cheaply
So exert efforts
And kindle the fires
Palestine calls, and Aden calls, my Arab brother
It calls to you, so rise my brother, and the voice of the South and the voice of Yemen
And the homeland answered the call of brotherhood
⟦line⟧
Arabism calls its youth, it calls Iraq and its eagles
It calls Al-Kinana (Egypt), the symbol of pride, it calls Marrakesh and its eagles
⟦line⟧
We were called ⟦...⟧ the seas of clash, we were called to walk, my brother, forward
Arabism called us to perish for it, blood to water the Valley of Peace
My Arab brother

Anthem of Youth
⟦line⟧
Lyrics by Bishara al-Khuri, Composition - Fleifel Brothers
We are the youth, the tomorrow is ours and our eternal glory
Our slogan throughout time: Long live the homeland
We sold to it on the day of trials our souls without a price
O my country, blame is far from you, who like you upholds covenants
You taught us how to be lofty and how to conceal pain
We are the youth
Iraq and the Levant are ours, and Egypt and the Sacred House
We march toward sudden death, forward, forward
We build and do not rely on others, we perish and are not forsaken
We have the hand and the work, we have tomorrow and the hope
We are the youth
The slope and the streams, the field and the spikes of grain
And what the ancestors built, we are its strongholds
Religion is in our hearts, and light is in our eyes
And truth is in our right hand, and laurel is on our forehead
We are the youth.

Anthem: The Arab Lands are my Homeland
Lyrics - Fakhri al-Baroudi | Music - Munir al-Hakim
The Arab lands are my homeland, from the Levant to Baghdad
And from Najd to Yemen, to Egypt and Tetouan
⟦line⟧
No border shall distance us, nor religion divide us
The tongue of Dhad unites us, with Ghassan and Adnan
⟦line⟧
We have a civilization of the past, we shall revive it even if it perished
Even if the cunning of men and jinn stood in our way
⟦line⟧
So rise, O sons of my people, to the heights through knowledge
And sing, O sons of my mother: The Arab lands are my homeland
⟦line⟧
Anthem: We are the Arabs
Lyrics - Nafeh Ibrahim | Music / Said Shabo
We are the pride of the heights, we are the beacon of knowledge
And the glory of the homelands is laurel, flowers, and gold
We are the symbol of zeal and generous heroism
And the Arab qualities
So if duty calls, we go forth strongly
Filling the world with struggle, whether on hills or in valleys
For our traits are proud and our hands are strong
And the blood within us is pure
Ask history about us, its people, both men and jinn
History bears witness that we were masters of glory
We guided humanity and aided all creatures
In the calamitous nights
