WHOLE SCHOOL
Dear IICS Parents,
We want to take this opportunity to thank all members of our community for their support and involvement throughout the Primary Back to School days at Marmara and Hisar this week. Our Secondary Back to School day will be on Tuesday, September 19 at Marmara. We are always excited to host our families on our beautiful campuses and share the amazing learning opportunities and experiences that we proudly provide for our students.
During the last few weeks, we have had multiple members of our community requesting information regarding emergency procedures and protocols at IICS. We will continue to have scheduled monthly emergency drills to ensure the safety and well-being of our community and we make regular updates if necessary. Both campuses are also equipped with water, food, tents, sleeping bags and medical equipment to support or sustain all our students and staff for at least 3-5 days. Regarding transportation, we have included important information below from Gursel (transportation company).
We do want to thank our community in advance for their continued support and we wish you a fantastic weekend with family and friends.
Nicolaas Mostert, Head of School
