Winter Preparations

cold weather

The winter is soon upon us and we wish to request a few important points, now that our school is growing: 
 
1. Student were reflector vests/badges/other when coming to school. The roads are dangerous and visibility affected. Remind your children to cross roads carefully, checking properly for oncoming traffic. We will also reinforce this in school.
 
2. Bring enough warms clothes. A change of socks are always a good thing to have in a locker also. A spare pair of gloves in the locker also, for those wet days. If the children at school, they go out at break times (unless very bad weather). We cant have children unsupervised in the school. The understanding is if they are well enough to be at school, they are well enough to go outside. 
Teachers will be asked to notify parents if students are dressed inappropriately at school.
 
3. No body boards/snow boards/sleds - The school will purchase some small boards children can share. Last year, many students were allowed to bring boards in, but with so many students in the school we don't have the capacity to store 170 board in the school, not to mention potential accidents. 
 
Thank you in advance for your attention, 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Robert Browne
Principal

UN Day a great success

All had a lovely day on UN Day, thanks to the efforts of the parents volunteering time and energy, the engagement of teachers and staff, and of course the children and their respective performances. 

We started the day with a great selection of guest speakers, at least 1 in every grade with some grades having 3-4 guest speakers, meaning we had around 18 guest speakers on the day. Parents took the time to speak about their education and their home countries.

Following on from this, we had an assembly where each grade had a little performance, focusing on the diversity of their group and the international nature of their education.

And we finished with a meal from every corner of the earth, courtesy of the parents, who arranged the room, organised the event and prepared the food.

UN Day 3

What a wonderful contribution! And what a wonderful result. We have never seen the children eating so much food - and the great thing was that for many, some of these meals were a new experience. 

Thanks for contributing, thanks for coming, thanks for sharing your cultures. Another step in intercultural tolerance and awareness on a small community level.

An Assembly on Human Rights

grade4 assembly 1

Grade 4 ran assembly this Monday, 19th October with a nice presentation explaining their unit dealing with human rights for children. The students have been reading a book called 'The Garbage King', afictional piece about the journey of Mamo and Dani into Addis Ababa. 

The students enacted their interpretation of a scene from the book. 

Following this some girls from grade 4 also treated us with a small performance they have been working on independently, which was enjoyed by all.
