The magic of the festive season at Saint Maur International School started when our community came together on Sunday, November 11th, for an unforgettable Christmas Bazaar. The support and generosity of our incredible parents, teachers, students, alumni and friends transformed the day into a winter wonderland.
In November, Saint Maur's Middle School Student Council members embarked on a transformative experience, spending an entire school day at our neighboring sister school, Futaba.
Saint Maur International School successfully hosted the annual KPASS Speech Contest for the second year in a row. Congratulations to all our students who participated and helped run this significant event, hosting 8 international schools!
The science center has been buzzing with action this week with the Grade 12 IB Biologists’ Individual Investigations in full swing. Each of the 14 students has carefully designed an investigation of personal significance, which they will test over the course of 10-lab hours.
Last week the Grade 9 students gathered for their Day of Reflection focusing on the topic on our Saint Maur Essential Outcome of being "Life-Long Learners". The Day of Reflection is an opportunity to pause our regular academic schedule and give attention to other aspects of their lives.
On Friday, 29th of September, all Saint Maur Secondary School students embarked on educational excursions. While the Grade 7 and 8 students were on an overnight trip in Miyagi and Chiba prefectures, Grade 6 to 11 students went on expeditions to Kamakura, Tokyo and Yokohama’s historical area.
Our Pre-School Montessori students have been learning about ice cream these past few weeks. The child-centred learning included crafting decorative ice cream cones, learning a mathematical song about a little girl who wants to have ten scoops of ice cream, colouring and decorating a big welcome sign outside their classroom, and finally, the children made their own ice cream!
The Grade 8 Overnight Trip is an opportunity for students to have fun, get outdoors, disconnect from their phones and reflect on their unique skills. This camp is both an Educational Excursion and Day of Reflection wrapped into three great days.
Last week we gave a special mention to all the High School students who recently gained Trinity Music qualifications and will do the same this week for the Middle School!
Last week, the grade 7 classes and homeroom teachers enjoyed a three day excursion to Miyagi prefecture. The goals of the trip were to experience the culture of Japan, to build friendships, and to have fun. Happily, the trip was a success all around.
On Saturday, September 16th, Saint Maur International School proudly hosted the annual KPASS (Kanto Plain Association Of Secondary Schools) High School Drama Festival.
For their last Day of Reflection, students gathered to focus on the theme of being "Global Citizens"; one of our SMEOs which is fundamental as students begin their journey into adulthood. Grade 12s spend the day playing games, working cooperatively and considering how they can serve one another.
