Back-to-School BBQ

Even though we have been back at school for over a month now, the Secondary Student Council decided to host a Back-to-school BBQ for Grades 6 to 12 pupils and teachers. The weather was beautiful and everybody had a good time. The Student Council is to be congratulated for doing such a great job in organising and preparing the meat, salads and fires.

Greenhouse Group

We have started working on our Greenhouse project. Some plants have been planted, including various herbs and cacti. We look forward to seeing how this project will develop and be a real learning experience for all the children involved.

Teacher's Professional Development

Our teachers enjoyed the first session of our Continuous Professional Development for the year on Friday 27 September. The theme is "Developing Communities of Inquiry" and the sessions will be delivered by Dr Jen Glaser, Co-director, The Israel Center for Philosophy in Education. 

The first session covered an introduction to questioning techniques, which involved many practical tools for use in the classroom, across the curriculum, including how to ensure that all children are involved in discussions. We are looking forward to further sessions with Dr Glaser as the school year progresses.
