October Break
Dear IICS Community,
As we approach the October Break, I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to each of you. This time of year is truly special, filled with the vibrant colours of autumn and the promise of refreshing days ahead.
I encourage everyone to take a well-deserved pause from the hustle and bustle of school life. Whether you plan to relax at home, spend time with family, or explore the beautiful outdoors, I hope you create cherished memories during this break.
This is also a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the achievements of our students so far this term. I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication shown by all our learners.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to welcoming everyone back, reenergised and ready for the exciting months ahead.
Wishing you all a joyful and relaxing October Break!
Warm regards,
Nicolaas Mostert, Head of School

All the bookmarks will be displayed near the library as the gallery showcase. Your child can bring the hand made bookmark to Marmara or Hisar library team or send it digitally to: dabizaid1@iics.k12.tr or lpaze@iics.k12.tr
