Kindness Week

We are excited to announce the upcoming Random Acts of Kindness Week, taking place from February 19th to 23rd. This special week is dedicated to promoting kindness and backing a meaningful initiative.

This year's main aim is to raise funds for the UTH Children's Hospital, focusing on providing clean water and sanitisers in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 6.

There will be bake sales at big break on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday held by specific secondary year groups, as was sent out in the communication earlier this week. The donation bottles will also be available at lunchtime by the old tuckshop. Please encourage your child to bring baked goods on their assigned days and give them any spare notes/coins for donations throughout the week. Please read the attached letter.

Please encourage your child to support this valuable cause by giving them some money to participate in the activities organized by the Student Council.

Draft Updated Guiding Statements & Five-Year Strategic Plan

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community,

We are excited to share the latest developments in our strategic planning process. We have slightly revised our school’s guiding statements as part of this ongoing effort. These revisions have been carefully crafted in alignment with the Council of International Schools (CIS) expectations. 

Your input is invaluable to us as we strive to ensure that our guiding statements accurately reflect the values and aspirations of our school community. We welcome your comments, suggestions, and feedback on these revised statements and our draft Strategic Plan.

SAISA Basketball

Our U19 Boys’ Basketball team embarked on a journey to Cape Town, South Africa, on Wednesday to partake in the SAISA Basketball Tournament hosted at The American School of Cape Town (AISCT). 

On Thursday morning, they were fortunate enough to explore Table Mountain, capturing breathtaking views of the Cape Town panorama. Later in the day, they attended the impressive opening ceremony at AISCT. Accessible via this link.

Following this, our team secured victories against both the American School of Johannesburg (AISJ) and the host AISCT, showcasing remarkable performances guided by our dedicated coaches, Mr. Banda and Mr. Patterson. To watch the game against AISCT, click on this link:
