Our mission in Sheikh Hamdan is to provide challenging programs in a learning environment designed to foster the full potential of each student and enable them to become vital contributors to our complex global society.
Sheikh Hamdan is committed to helping young boys and girls to develop their fullest potential intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually for national development.
Even though it is a school teaching an English curriculum, the school is committed to its Islamic heritage while welcoming families of all faiths and backgrounds. The school continues offering an innovative approach to the curriculum that integrates technology, promotes creativity, encourages artistic expression and actively engages students in exploration and inquiry. While offering an academically challenging curriculum, we respect that the goal of education is to nurture children to become curious learners for life.
As a school promoting the teaching of Islamic values, Sheikh Hamdan has been engaged in Qur’anic recitation competitions, which are held on a termly basis through the Islamic club. Young Qur’anic scholars from different schools sometimes converged at Sheikh Hamdan to compete in Qur’anic recitation.
The school also participate in several other inter-senior school competitions. Recently, the school competed in the annual inter-senior school football competition. The school is also envisaging participating in the inter-senior school athletic competition. The arts, science and commerce clubs also participate in several external school competitions where they always keep the good values of the school.
Every year, Sheikh Hamdan Senior School has always organised a speech and prize-giving ceremony. This is an event that provides an avenue for the school to present its achievement to the parents of the students. The best students with outstanding achievements are rewarded with prizes. These events motivate other students to work harder thereby creating great competition among students in all fields.
Our students have many opportunities to shine. We have high academic standards and provide the support necessary to meet and exceed those standards. Our goal is to build in our students a strong foundation that will support them throughout their lives.
When it comes to school athletics in The Gambia, we are one of the best. We have solid athletic teams that have won numerous awards and gold medals in inter-school athletic championships across the country.
Over the years, the school has incrementally registered remarkable progress hence its current enjoyment of an unprecedented reputation and recognition as one of the most disciplined and progressive centres of learning.
