Secondary Class Representative Election results!

On Wednesday, the nominated students gave speeches to their peers of the Tutor group and voted for their preferred candidate.  To all those who ran, but did not get elected I want to thank you for taking an active role in this process. You have taken your first step to getting involved and I encourage you to find ways to help the school and run for election again on the future. Without further ado, it is my pleasure and honour to congratulate the elected 2022 - 2023 Student Council Class Representatives on their new leadership position!

CIS Re-accreditation

Overview

CIS is the Council of International Schools, an independent body that provides an evaluation framework for schools to evaluate their work and as a structure to help with school improvement plans. It is a 5 year cycle. We are currently accredited by both CIS and another accreditation body, NEASC, and the re-accreditation process has started very positively.

Where is ISL in the re-accreditation cycle?

Early Years and Upper Primary Open House and Assemblies

On Tuesday, August 16th and Wednesday, August 17th we held the Early Years and Upper Primary Open House respectively. It gave us the opportunity to meet parents in person (after a two-year absence from the school due to Covid) and to welcome them warmly to the new school year. Parents attended a presentation by their chid’s homeroom teacher, where the class expectations and the synopsis of the year was shared.

A huge thank you to all our parents for taking time from your busy schedules to spend the morning with us and share in your child’s learning. We appreciated the huge turn out by our Primary parents!!! 

Historic IGCSE Results!

I am thrilled to report our students have achieved the highest IGCSE results in ISL's history for a second year running. On behalf of our school I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to all IG students who worked extremely hard over two years for this success.

We have achieved this under extraordinary circumstances. The grade boundaries this year were higher on average compared to the last 5 years. This cohort of students experienced three years of pandemic learning and all the physical and mental challenges that came with that. We had the toughest exam season ever with covid cases on the rise and a constant sense of uncertainty if exams would be cancelled. 

Yet despite these challenges, we prevailed.

The beginning of the school year also marks the beginning of the Student Council’s Class Representative system. Being a Class Representative is an opportunity to take an active part in determining a student's own educational experience.

IBDP Induction trip to Pioneer camp

On Friday 12th August, 21 Year 12 students along with their tutors went to Pioneers camp for the Induction camp. The main objective of the Induction trip was to enable students to build cohesion as a cohort and develop their identity by reflecting on the learner profile. The over night camp turned out to be a very exciting experience for the students with fun activities that enabled them to collaborate while engaging in team building activities. Students took part in active group challenges and ended the Induction programme with the introduction to the 7 CAS learning outcomes.
