Trial day at the Deutsche Bank
Trial day at the Deutsche Bank
Wednesday, 20 March 2019
Last Friday seven 9th und 10th grader had the opportunity to attend a trial day at the Deutsche Bank AG in Düsseldorf. The Deutsche Bank went to great lengths to give our students an informative, instructive, and fun day. Our students were very excited and were fully immersed in the program.
A few highlights were a visit to the vault, quizzes, a lively session on brand management with Dr. Fabio Ognibene and the closing “coffee & cookies” session at Starbucks with DB trainees.
We would like to thank all Deutsche Bank employees for this great opportunity!
Below are some impressions from the day.
Student Spotlights: Spotlight On Our Student Gioia
Spotlight On Our Student Gioia
Gioia, Grade 12, has been a student at ISR since first grade. From the beginning, Gioia was a child full of spirits and it has been our pleasure to see her grow into a responsible and goal focused young woman who is preparing for Graduation in June.
Gioia is currently one of seven IB students taking part in this year’s IB Art Exhibition. She is a very talented artist and has worked very hard to finish her project focusing on love. Her artwork will be displayed in the school over the next week and starting on March 26th it will be part of an exhibition at the Deutsche Bank in Düsseldorf.
As Gioia looks toward the future, she wants to study business and she already holds offers from a number of Dutch universities. With her proactive attitude and drive for results, we have no doubt that Gioia will go on to do great things!
We are proud to spotlight Gioia, one of many of ISR’s outstanding students!

Student Spotlights: Spotlight On Our Student Albert
Spotlight On Our Student Albert
Albert is a new student to ISR but he has really found his path to success in school through both academics and sports. Albert is a bright student who is currently enrolled in the IB program. Back in February, Albert competed in the German Indoor Track and Field Championships in Sindelfingen and reached the finals in the 60 meters hurdles race.
With 8.13 seconds in the semi-finals, Albert not only improved his personal best time but he also finished as one of the top eight best hurdle sprinters in Germany in his age group. Albert’s victory was featured in the Rheinische Post. 8.13 seconds over 60 meters with obstacles in the way, we are seriously impressed, Albert!
We are proud to spotlight Albert, one of many of ISR’s outstanding students!

Spotlight On Our Student Dana
This week our student spotlight turns to Dana in Grade 8. Dana has been an ISR student since Grade 1 and she is a Senior Prefect in the Social Responsibility Department of SLO®. But beyond life at ISR, Dana has a passion for dancing and competitions.
Earlier this month, Dana competed in “Jewrovision”, a competition for young aspiring Jewish performers aged 10 to 19 who compete against each other with an overarching theme of Jewish heritage. Dana practiced with her team for 3 months with a choreographer and a vocal coach to put together a dance and singing routine under the theme of Chai (or life in Hebrew). 1,500 competitors from Jewish youth centers across Germany gathered in Frankfurt and performed their pieces in front of a panel of judges, including 2018 Eurovision winner, Netta Barzilai. Amazingly, Dana and her team finished in an impressive second place! This is quite an achievement!
We are proud to spotlight Dana, one of many of ISR’s outstanding students!
