Many of our families enjoyed some time away last week, adding another few pages to their ‘world’ book. What powerful learning opportunities exist when we allow our children to confront and experience difference in the world around us – difference in daily living conditions, in common rituals, in eating, sleeping and going to school. Developing caring, global citizens who are able to reflect on their learning are important components of our Mission at ISB. At school, learning experiences and units of work are shaped with our broader goals clearly in mind. It’s wonderful to have a stretch of in-school learning time between now and Winter break to further develop these attributes in our students, including of course, our annual International Day, coming up on November 30. We look forward to sharing this special time with you!
