Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, and Staff,
As we reach the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your dedication, support, and partnership. Today marks the final day of school, and I’m filled with pride as I reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together.
To our parents: Thank you for your trust and for working alongside us throughout the year. Your unwavering support has played a vital role in our students' success.
To our students: I am incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved. Your enthusiasm, resilience, and hard work have been an inspiration, and you’ve made this year truly special.
To our faculty and staff: Your passion, professionalism, and tireless efforts have touched the lives of our students in meaningful ways. Thank you for your commitment to excellence.
To our leaving students: As you step into a new chapter, know that you carry with you our best wishes and heartfelt support. Your journey with us will always be remembered, and you’ll always be a part of this community. Once a dolphin, always a dolphin.
As we begin the summer break, I wish each of you a restful, joyful, and well-deserved holiday. Thank you all for an incredible school year.
Warm regards,
Nicolaas Mostert
Head of School

Message from the Counselling Team
Dear IICS Community,
It is hard to believe that we have entered our final week of the school year and completed another successful year, one with achievements and progress of which we should all be proud. As a Student Support Team, we are so honored by the students and families that we have worked with and supported. Our Team is so proud of the individual growth our students have made and as a Student Support Team, we continue to be amazed by the commitment shown by teachers, students and families to ensure everyone is able to reach their potential and thrive in the different areas of school life. A community is only as strong as its individuals and at IICS we continue to recognise the shared responsibility that comes with being part of a community and ensuring all individuals feel valued and have an opportunity to be successful.
