Head of Primary Message Week 2



I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible dedication and hard work of our school staff. We are truly fortunate to have a team of such committed professionals who bring their expertise and passion to every aspect of their work.


Our teachers and support staff have diligently planned and prepared for each and every child, ensuring that they receive the best possible education and care. They are masters of their profession, consistently going above and beyond to create a nurturing and enriching environment for our students.


Please join me in expressing our heartfelt appreciation for all that they do. Their commitment to our children’s success and wellbeing is truly inspiring.



They say the funniest things...

Primary students do have a way of saying the most unexpected and hilarious things. Their unfiltered honesty, combined with their unique perspective on the world, often leads to some priceless moments. It's also amazing (and sometimes a bit revealing) to hear what they've picked up from what they're watching online. This week we have certainly learnt a lot...

ISB Primary Stories 🎙️

Podcast stories are great for all the family, whether at home, in the car or out and about. Take a break from screens and enjoy a great adventure. So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to be inspired by the voices of the future. This week, Cayleigh shares a story written by Genaro R. Gojo Cruz and translated by Heidi Emily E. Adad.
