Announcements
University Visits
We believe that students need to be properly informed before they choose their universities. That is why we are excited to announce that representatives from several universities, including IE University from Spain, Jonkoping from Sweden, Windesheim from the Netherland, will be visiting our school on Wednesday at 8:30. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn more about their programs, admission requirements, and campus life. We encourage all students from grades 9-12 to take advantage of this chance to explore their higher education options.
D12 Sports Day
Sports Day is an annual event at our school and is run by our PHE teachers Mr. Jan and Miss Marika. The students will be split up into color teams that we call “houses” (pink, teal, orange, and yellow) to compete with each other in various games and activities. Mr. Jan and Miss Marika have prepared a variety of activities for a fun-filled morning!
Sports Day will be held at the small park between Zaruby street and Dembego Street from 10:00 to 11:30. We walk to the park, which is about 400 meters from school (D12).
The children should wear comfortable sports clothing (not jeans) that day and bring a small bag with a change of shoes (sports shoes) and a water bottle (at least 500ml). We will ONLY change shoes and not change clothing, so it is necessary your child dresses in comfortable weather appropriate clothing. We also recommend students with long hair bring a hair tie to put their hair up.
