The IAA Career Day was a resounding success! Local representatives from 30 professions attended the event, speaking with Grades 9-10 students about opportunities within their respective fields. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, event managers, journalists, pharmacists, fashion designers, and many more offered their wisdom and guidance. This bustling event began with an inspiring key note speech from Ms Nadine Toukan, Executive Producer of the award-winning Jordanian film, THEEB. Ms Toukan spoke eloquently about smashing stereotypes, having courage and supporting the people of Jordan. Many professional IAA parents participated as well, generously volunteering their time to support our students and their plans for the future. A very inspiring day for all! Thank you to Ms Toukan, our parents, and all the professionals who made this day possible.

Great Job, IAA Hawks Dead 2 Red Team! Fourth place out of forty teams! This achievement would not have been possible without the great effort of the students, coaches and parents who ran non-stop 242 km in 13 hours and 35 minutes!

Our inspiring Hawks Captain, Mr Martin Thompson, continuously encouraged the entire team on the road. The boys and girls ran with an incredible fighting spirit, pushing themselves past their limits and never giving up, despite the exhaustion of running so long, so hard and so far. Through it all, our students truly discovered their power and courage on that winding road between the Dead and Red Seas. Our coaches also ran and ran and ran, always with big smiles on their faces, while our drivers and support staff cheered on the team throughout the night. This was an experience we will not soon forget, as it was deeply moving to witness the depth of determination, pride and unity among the staff and students who participated in this fight together. Thank you to all participants for giving us this unforgettable memory. It was a wonderful experience for the whole team, and we will definitely do it again!
