Parent Coffee Nov.2nd


Thank you so much to the parents who found time to attend our Parent Coffee, even although it was the first day back after the extended weekend.

I must say that we are so fortunate to have such a motivated group of parents helping to make the ISOCS experience stronger and EVEN more exciting for our families.

PARENT SOCIAL EVENTS 
  • The Halloween party on Monday night was a resounding success for everyone young and old. A huge thank you goes out to the Bütler and Garton Families for taking the initiative to organise this for everyone. See some photos here.
  • The group eagerly discussed organising a couple of Mum's Nights Outs! Cooking classes and dinner with various degrees of walking and beverages were discussed as well as a family grill and skate event.
  • The mum's present also discussed organising a Family Christmas Party on Wednesday afternoon 14th December. They have formed a committee to start planning the operations and would be keen to know a good party hut or suitable venue in the area.
The place to find all this and much more is the ISOCS Family News which now has a page dedicated to seasonal activities in the area. Coming soon... a classified section so that you can sell or ask for items online.

PARENTAL ASSISTANCE
  • A stalwart group of parents are looking for more volunteers to help with Library Cataloguing and class displays. We usually meet in the Library each Wednesday morning for coffee a chat and to offer assistance.
  • Jeanette has started writing a little welcome to ISOCS in Dutch for inclusion on the updated website. She would like to ask families from other parts of the world to do a few sentences in their home language to welcome families from around the world. If you would like to offer your feedback on the nearly ready template for the updated website I can send you a link.
NEWS FROM ISOCS
  • The Maths course was outstanding and will be of great benefit to all the teachers and students at ISOCS. We will plan an information session for parents soon.
  • Please be reminded about your school Photos. Andaleeb is due to return tomorrow  to pick up your orders.
Thanks again to everyone for making this school such a happy and successful place for students and teachers to work together.
