Hari Raya celebrations concluded in school this week with two great assemblies. A special thank you to our wonderful hosts, Prince Aiman, Eva, Bailey and Rania who all did a fantastic job and presented with confidence to a large crowd. Performances included singing, dancing, acting and storytelling. Thank you also to the parents of the performers who joined us in the ISB Theatre, a great way to end the week.
We have launched our search for the next Primary House Captains 🔴 🔵 🟢 🟡. This week, we have invited students from across Year 5 to apply for this prestigious leadership role. We are looking to appoint two students to represent each house and help to lead various aspects of school life, from Book Week to sporting events, Maths competitions to Science, Eco to helping with Assemblies. If you are in Year 5 now, will you apply?
Coming soon: TT Rock Stars, the gig! We are looking for the best of the best! 🎸 🥁 🎙️
Will you make it on to the TT Rock Stars Top 10 leaderboard this year? Or perhaps be the overall winner! 🏆 We will be hosting a very special and very loud ROCK GIG on the Piano Steps and only the fastest TT Rock Stars will be invited to compete LIVE!

The Primary Leadership Team met with the Student Council this week to share ideas and discuss their feedback.

In the meeting, the Student Council raised the following issues/ideas:
Break time and play provision
Frienship groups
Sporting activities
ECA suggestions
More fans in the Sports Hall
House Points
Trips
Canteen food
Fundraising
Word Walls
House Challenges
Drawing Club
Tree climbing
Wildlife protection
Meditation
Solar energy
All the issues raised will be analysed and we will prepare a full report for the Student Council to share with the ISB Community. They also enjoyed the spring rolls and cakes too!
