Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you to everyone who joined us to ‘travel to school in a green way’ this morning. As well as the environmental benefits, it creates an excellent opportunity for our students to walk, talk and laugh together before the start of a busy day’s learning. While walking into school, you may have seen our SotoRoxV poster and team selling tickets and wondered what it’s all about, in this short video our Head of Music, Mr Wickersham, explains it all.
As we come to the end of January, you will have noticed that work is progressing on the development of our new secondary building. This new facility will massively transform our school, hosting the main office, Design Laboratories, Language and Literature and Individuals and Societies classrooms. Additionally, we will be expanding our sports facilities with a 5-a-side football pitch and multi-surface sports area for all to enjoy. For more details, please see the design drawings in reception.
This transformation will open up the main building to be redesigned, expanding the cantina and creating new and exciting learning spaces for P5 and P6 students. To help visualise how our new campus will look, please take a look at this video.
Following feedback we received regarding last year’s late release of fees, we have worked with Inspired to finalise these sooner, and we can now share them with you. To view the fees for the academic year 2020-2021, please click here. To view Elite Sports academic fees for the year 2020-2021, please click here.
We understand that living in an international community means families often come and go. I would like to ask that if you already know you will be leaving us at the end of this academic year that you notify us immediately using the below procedure. This is vitally important to us so we can plan the teaching provision and admissions for the next academic year. To formally notify the school of your intent to leave, please send a withdrawal letter to the admissions team; email address: admissions@sis.gl. The official deadline for informing us of your intention to leave is 31st March 2020 at 4 pm CET. Any notification after this date will result in the non-return of your deposit.
I hope you enjoy reading the rest of our end of month newsletter and sharing in the successes and achievements of our school community.
Best Wishes,
Jak Kearney
