Class Parent Representatives

A big thank you to the parents who have already offered to be a class parent representative for their child’s class. We are still looking for volunteers for EC, P4, M3 and M5. Please let the class/tutor teacher, Maree or Éanna know if you are willing to take on this low-key but greatly valued role.

The International Baccalaureate

Last week, there was a description of the IB’s mission statement. This week, you might want to look at some videos available on the IB website which explain the IB programmes. Go to http://blogs.ibo.org/ibtv/?p=67 or click the image below to hear and see one principal’s brief (1 min 15 sec) view of IB.

FIFA Coaching Clinic

The Tanzanian national team coach, Kim Poulson, is leading a coaching session with 20 participants for the next week. The group will be convening on Arusha Campus for some of these sessions so do not be surprised to see them around campus on the sports field or in the Drama Room.

IB MYP Trials

On Wednesday 18 September, we gave a letter to all M5 families seeking permission for their son/daughter to participate in MYP electronic-assessments on 8 October. The trial involves students doing two tests through the use of a computer. If you have not seen this letter, please let Éanna know at [email protected]. The subjects involved are ‘History’ (part of Humanities) and Interdisciplinary. Please note that how the students do does not influence their scores at ISM in any way. The feedback provided to the International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to help them develop effective e-assessments over the forthcoming years.

In addition, you may wish to see on our website the videos on the PYP and on the MYP, as well as a written description of these programmes.

M1 cook up a treat This week in Design Technology, M1 created the three course meal they have been investigating, designing and planning for the past few weeks. There were several opportunities for on-the-spot problem solving that the students handled admirably and the bonus was, the meal was delicious! Thank you to parents for donating a major part of the ingredients. Also thank you to Adele Burger who planned and facilitated this unit- Adele completed a teaching practicum with us on Friday… you will be missed.

Orders close on Friday September 27th.Order online or by returning your form and money to the Finance Office.

Want an excuse to not wear your uniform to school? Friday, September 27th Primary Student Council has organized a dress-up day under the theme of: “Teacher-Student Swap”. Join us as students dress up as teachers and teachers dress like students!

Inquiry in the IT Lab The Early Childhood class were asked “How can we draw on the computer without a pencil?” They said that the mouse can’t draw anything, not even a line. When they started using the mouse for drawing and coloring pictures they enjoyed the activities and were excited to see their creations appear on the screen. EC work with Christine Matemu in the IT Lab twice a week.

starting at approximately 8.15am and it will conclude as soon as possible. • This will enable each age group to participate fully in a range of activities,

adapted where necessary to suit their age group. • In both the Primary and Secondary sections of the school, students have

been focusing on developing the skills applicable to a range of both track and field events. Running, jumping, throwing and of course sportsmanship have all been a part of the programme.

Outdoor Pursuits (OP) ISM is proud of our structured and extensive Outdoor Pursuits programme giving all our secondary students opportunities to face the challenge of a demanding range of outdoor activities in our superb environment centred on Mt Kilimanjaro and Mt Meru. Our OP trips are organised into levels and students are expected to begin at Level One – each is only allowed to progress to a higher level after successful completion of a trip. All student groups are accompanied by a qualified guide and by teaching staff from the two campuses, who are also expected to progress through the same levels themselves. Students are expected to carry all their own equipment and a share of the group equipment and food.

The Outdoor Pursuits department is well-equipped with a wide range of camping and mountaineering equipment and clothing that is updated and replaced as necessary. Good relations are enjoyed by the school with the Tanzanian National Parks Authority who in turn are enthusiastic in their support of our activities. A well-established programme of graded mountaineering expeditions to Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru and elsewhere exist to provide training for students in mountain craft, teamwork and in leadership skills.
