Lockers

Lockers are provided to all HS students.  School items should be stored in the locker. The locker is school property and needs to be respected. Students should not store organic material in the lockers (i.e. food, plants, etc.). 

Backpacks

Students should keep their backpacks in their lockers whenever possible. Backpacks may not be placed by fire exits, by fire extinguishers or block hallways. They need to be placed in the teacher designated location in the Science lab. Students are expected to take responsibility for their belongings and not leave their backpack, especially with laptops, unattended. The school does not take responsibility for lost or stolen items..  

After School 

Students are allowed to use the school premises till 17.00 without permission. In case of special circumstances, permission needs to be given by the High School Principal. At all times, students must exemplify our school values and the IB learner profile attributes. On the way to and from school, students should respect the rights, privacy and property of the surrounding community, including the neighbors, stores etc. Students must refrain from loitering, trespassing, littering, or creating noise.The responsibility while at school lies on the student and they should be aware that there might not be any teaching staff in the building. 

Study Blocks 

Because of the subject choices and the construct of the timetable, students might have a study block either in the morning, middle of the day or have an early finish. Students are expected to make use of the school spaces (such as the library and study area) to prepare for their classes.

Student Intro Week  

All high school students participate in the introductory week which is normally the first week of school.  The week includes two days of overnight for DP students and 1 night for the MYP 5 students. This week is mandatory as this ensures and provides students with an opportunity to start and build healthy relationships as well as to get to know the ins and outs of being a student at ISH. 

There is an additional cost which is communicated by the first week of August, at the latest. 

MYP 5 Core Week

MYP 5 take part in a week of interdisciplinary study during the same week. We call this week ‘Core Week’ as the focus of the week is always on the core aspects of the MYP programme. ALL Students are required to participate unless there are specific medical issues for which a doctor’s note must be provided to the Principal. Core Week trip is an academic and the summative task is graded and applies to two or three subjects. These do come at an additional cost which is communicated by the end of March, at the latest, and applied to the June fee payment.
