Secondary Learning Conferences for Grades 6 to 12
Dear Secondary Parents,
Please find HERE the details and the sign up information for our upcoming Secondary Learning Conferences for Grades 6 to 12 which will be held in person, on campus on Thursday 17th October.
We look forward to having many of you join us here on campus and please remember that a big part of the learning journey on Secondary, is for your child to be an active participant in the learning conversations you will have. They should be able to articulate where they are at and what targets they have discussed with their teacher. Of course, your children's teachers are here to support that conversation, but please encourage your child to be vocal and lead the conversation when possible.
If you have any challenges signing up for conferences please feel free to contact Ms. Nagihan (secondary@iics.k12.tr) directly and if you have any other questions, Mr. Kipmen (okipmen@iics.k12.tr) and myself are also available.
Kind regards,
Aaron Kane
World Mental Health Day - October 10th, 2024
Dear Families and Students,
At IICS we foster the culture of a holistic student-centred approach. Recognizing the importance of mental health and ensuring that all our students are having fulfilling learning experiences is essential for our school community. That being said, the importance of our students’ well-being is embedded in our daily school life as an integral component of our curriculum through our Advisory program that promotes mental health literacy, resilience, communication skills and emotional regulation.
Yesterday, October 10th, is recognized as World Mental Health Day. Many Advisory classes used this day as an opportunity to celebrate our dedication to promoting mental well-being and raising awareness about mental health issues.
Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, how we handle stress, form healthy relationships with others, as well as our decision making. Read more...
