ARTS FESTIVAL 2021: REHEARSALS START ON FRI 13th NOVEMBER
Thank you to everyone who has submitted auditions. We have not yet chosen individual roles as we may need to rewrite some sections of the script. We invite anyone who would still be interested in taking part to join us to the rehearsals where we start working on the group performances. Rehearsals will take place up on the 5th Floor (Drama Studio).
13:15-13:45 Class 10 upwards (please go directly to the 5th Floor - class 10 will be taken to the cafeteria after)
13:45-14:15 Classes 7-9 (you will be collected from the cafeteria)
Class 7 students need to eat in the first session on Friday.
We cannot wait to start rehearsing and we are thrilled with the quality of auditions we have had! See you there!
NEW: YR 11-13 COFFEE BAR
During break times on Mondays, Wednesdays & Friday (between 09:45 - 10:15) students in Years 11, 12 & 13 are invited to attend a ‘pop-up’ coffee bar in sponsorship of the TEDxYouth@ISMonaco event.
Students will have the chance to purchase tea, coffee and refreshments while supporting an excellent whole-school event and remaining safe and socially distanced.
The school cafeteria will be set up with socially distanced tables equipped with screens between the people sat opposite to enable students in Years 11-13 to enjoy their break time safely.
COLLECTION OF EXAMINATION CERTIFICATES
IGCSE certificates and IB certificates from May/June 2020 have arrived and are ready for collection at the Secondary reception. We also have several IGCSE certificates that are yet to be collected from the previous years. In order to release the certificates, we do require a parental signature. Please arrange to collect certificates from the secondary reception after 4.00pm any day to reduce the number of external persons on site during the school day.

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT - FOR IB & IGCSE STUDENTS
Have you ever asked yourself what it all means?
What can Ancient Greek and Chinese philosophers teach us about living in the 21st Century?
Are Dada, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism just a bunch of confusing words?
Is the mind the same as the brain?
Mr Thom will be offering an academic enrichment activity to small groups of students interested in broadening their understanding of philosophy, culture and the history of ideas. This will involve an introduction to philosophy (‘Doing Philosophy’) and, depending on your particular interests, an exploration of significant cultural, artistic, philosophical and political movements and individuals. The activity will be scheduled for Tuesday at 4.00pm in room S22 but additional sessions can be arranged at other times for small groups or individual students. For more information contact simon.thom@ismonaco.com. IB and IGCSE students who are interested can speak with Mr Thom directly.
