Please take some time to view this very short but very impressive short video from the Middle Years drama production earlier this year. This cast and crew truly amazed - just have a look! https://youtu.be/cgVHDlSerN0
The Grade 11 ESS students embarked on an overnight fieldtrip to Sharhabil Bin Hassneh EcoPark recently. The local landscape gave our students the opportunity to apply the content and the skills of the ESS course, as well as experience their natural environment. Students conducted two stream studies, where they compared the water quality between the sites. Sadly both sites were heavy polluted, primarily due to human impact. They also did a zonation study to see how plant populations and diversity changed from the dam into the land. By the end of this trip, students developed their practical and observational skills and acquired knowledge, values and attitudes to protect and improve their environment.
IAA Grade 9 students trekked it all the way to the Eco-park for the El Hassan Youth Award Bronze Expedition recently. According to its website, "The El Hassan Youth Award provides an opportunity for the young people of Jordan, between the ages of 14 to 25, to enroll in challenging, educational and non-academic programs across a range of services, skills, expeditions and physical recreation."
The Secondary Science Fair kicked off this morning with enthusiasm among students, parents and staff. Our Grade 6 to 8 scientists presented their ambitious experiments, the focus of which was the UN"s Sustainable Development Goals, recently adopted "to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all". Experiments ranged from the science of water purity to eco-friendly housing to energy conservation. So inspiring!
The Middle Years production of Annie last week was simply outstanding, with little orphan Annie stealing the hearts of audiences over three days of sold-out shows! Employing sophisticated set design, multi-media effects, impressive choreography and even a live dog, the cast and crew of Annie were the talk of the town. Congratulations to the many parents, staff and students who made this show possible. It was such a treat for all those who attended!
