Spotlight On Our Student Mehul

This week we would like to spotlight our 6th Grade student, Mehul, who has been at ISR since Grade 4. His teacher Ms. Brand says: “Mehul is a very dedicated and conscientious student who is an excellent role model and a high-achiever. Mehul works extremely hard and is highly motivated.

He received the Outstanding Achievement award in Maths, Science, Social Studies, German and Music in Term 1! Well done to Mehul for his achievements and contribution to ISR”. Also his former music teacher Ms. Bucher still fondly remembers him and says “Mehul is a very hard worker who wants to be the best he can be. He is so polite and brightens up everyone’s day”.

We are proud to spotlight Mehul, one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

Spotlight On Our Student Tim

This week, we like to feature the “Big Brother” of ISR, Tim, Grade 11.  Tim has been at ISR since Kindergarten and surely knows his way around our school. His teachers, current and former, find it is very special to follow a student for so long and all agree that Tim has certainly matured a lot over the past few years.

“I see him growing into a good example of an IB student. Open, critical, respectful, and getting there with hard work as well” says his teacher Ms. Zic. His German teacher Mr. Kroenke says “Tim’s current academic success in my German class can be traced back to the fact that even when he is confronted with stress and failure, he keeps being self-motivated and goal orientated. He does not shy away from tackling very demanding works of literature in his free time, which shows that he is at the same time open-minded, courageous, and persevering“.

Tim still has his playful spirit and gives back to our school community. The Kindergarten children LOVE having Tim come read to them on a weekly basis and he has recently become a “Big Brother” to a Grade 5 student in Middle School. Both of them really enjoy spending time together each week! As a larger CAS project, Tim has decided to work with “It’s for kids e.V.“ to support local projects for children growing up under less fortunate circumstances. Tim has a big heart, is always very polite, and is a true friend. His everlasting good mood is contagious and he always has a helping hand to spare.

We are proud to spotlight Tim, one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

Spotlight On Our Student Dakshith

Dakshith is a wonderful Grade 1 student who always walks around with a smile on his face. According to Ms. Berg, his teacher, Dakshith stands out to his teacher and classmates because he is resilient in everything he does, always puts others before himself and is always the first to ask others if they are OK when they are looking down or sad.

Dakshith works hard every single day, is friendly to everyone and always makes the classroom look nice by tidying up and picking up trash. “We can always count on Dakshith and are so lucky to have him in 1B!”, declares Ms. Berg.

We are proud to spotlight Dakshith, one of many of ISR’s outstanding students!

Spotlight On Our Student Paul

Paul, Grade 11, joined ISR in 2017 and Ms. McGee says he was a wonderful student to work with in Grades 9 and 10, as he consistently demonstrated an “Above and Beyond” attitude toward his school work. “I get the sense that his motivation comes not just from the desire to achieve top marks, but a true love for learning and curiosity about the unknown”, says Ms. McGee.

Last year, Paul set the bar high for this year’s Grade 10 students, by taking 6 IGCSE exams and achieving all A’s and A*’s and he is on the same track this year as an IB student with a 94 overall average.  He is also leading the Communications Department on the MUN Executive Team at ISR by helping advertise the club to younger students, sharing news about MUN at ISR, and even helping to create an MUN student-run website.

As a part of his CAS-project, Paul dedicated his free time towards the Leo-Service Club Mönchengladbach, the youth  organization of “Lion’s Club” which enables young adults to engage in social service activities. In the past months, Paul and his team successfully planned and organized the “Leo Advent Calendar 2019”, a lottery-based advent calendar where the profit goes to a local charity. This year the Leo-Cub calendar sale will support “St. Josefshaus Mönchengladbach”, an institution which provides apartments and activities for disadvantaged citizens.

We are proud to spotlight Paul, one of many of ISR’s outstanding students!
