This week, we come together to celebrate our incredible teachers under the theme "Valuing Teacher Voices:
Towards a New Social Contract for Education."
Our educators are the foundation of everything we do, shaping not only minds but futures. Their unwavering
commitment, creativity, and passion make a difference in the lives of our learners every day. They inspire
curiosity, nurture growth, and empower our learners to become global citizens ready to face the world.
To our learners and parents, this is a special time to reflect on and appreciate the impact our teachers have.
Take a moment this week to say thank you, share a kind word, or simply acknowledge the dedication that
goes into each lesson.
To my fellow educators, your voices are powerful, your work invaluable. Together, we are shaping a better
future. Let's continue to inspire and uplift one another!

announce that twelve of our learners will be traveling to Germany from October 7th to 17th

enriching experience aligns with the IB Learner Profile, offering our students the opportunity to enhance their
personal and professional skills. During their trip, they will also have the chance to network, gaining valuable
insights that will benefit not only themselves but also the wider school community upon their return. They will
be accompanied by two of our dedicated educators, and we wish them all a successful and transformative
journey. Safe travels, and we look forward to hearing about your experiences!
