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. 

New Families BBQ

We just had a very successful 'New Tabeetha Families Welcome BBQ' at the School. We had over 50 new families enjoying the great food. Thank you to everyone who was there! You all contributed to a wonderful atmosphere! And the cake was amazing!

iPads in lessons

We have acquired 10 iPads for the use of children in Reception, Grade 1 and Grade 2. They are used as part of the Literacy and Numeracy lessons for the children, mainly in the first hour of the school day. They are proving to be a big hit! This is part of a pilot program and we hope to acquire more in the future.

School as usual

Until we have confirmation from the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Home Front Command, school will continue as usual, even though the times are uncertain and we do not know exactly what will happen with the security situation concerning Syria.

We will continue to prepare staff and pupils concerning our emergency measures.
