Conversations about Recent Current World Events
No doubt we have all been impacted to some degree by the recent escalating conflict in Israel and Gaza. The effects are far-reaching, with images of the war being broadcast on TV and shared on social media. It's likely many of your kids have been following these events or have overheard conversations and are curious about the cause and impacts this war may have both globally and locally. Read more..

Secondary Grade Trip and Awards Celebrations
We were delighted to see our students share their memories and experiences of their class trips and to recognise the hard work and achievements of our students in the final semester of 2022-23.
This also included recognition of the 100% pass rate, IICS continues to achieve for the MYP Personal Project. Honour Roll and High Honour Roll students were given IICS Certificates in recognition of their achievements. Personal Project students were awarded certificates from the IBO.
Well done to the Secondary School students. Keep up the hard work!

School lunch menu with Salmon fish
Food Committee
Happy to announce that once per month our menu will be enriched with salmon for elder students and better quality fish fingers for younger kids ( EY to year 3) from the Hisar & Marmara campus. This was decided in order to avoid the risk of fish bones.
Why salmon?
-Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for healthy growth.
-The NHS and FDA recommend including at least 2 portions of fish a week, one of which is a fatty fish like salmon.
-Studies show that omega-3 consumption corresponds with deeper and better sleep and improves cognitive development and school performance.
