Yesterday, the Cherry Blossom Festival took place in Meerbusch-Büderich, organized by the city of Meerbusch as well as by the Friends of the Meerbusch-Shijonawate Sister Cities Association – and it was a great success!
The festival symbolizes the close connection between the two twin cities as well as of Japan and Germany and for this reason, it was a great pleasure for us to participate in the event with our Japanese teacher, parts of the management team and some ISR families to celebrate the German-Japanese friendship. We were in addition represented by our popular ISR school bus and two of our dedicated students who offered face painting as well as children’s glitter stickers for the skin. Moreover, we took our VR glasses with us that we use in our classrooms, and the children had great fun using them.
Furthermore, one talented ISR family performed an amazing piece of music on stage and represented ISR in an excellent way. We would like to sincerely thank the Yokota family for their incredible performance, as well as our students for their involvement – the children were extremely happy and had great fun! Moreover, we would like to thank the organizers for another wonderful Cherry Blossom Festival and for the opportunity to get in touch with so many interested families.
We’re looking forward to another celebration in 2023!
Looking Back: ISR Robotics Camp
ISR Robotics Camp 2022
Friday, 22 April 2022
Our ISR Spring break comes to an end today and with it, a conclusion to an eventful 2 weeks of our first ever ISR Robotics Camp!
Mr. Aloof – Head of the IT Department, ran this year’s camp and prepared the participating students for a week filled with Virtual Reality (VR), programming, and much more. The camp started with an intense look into the world of VR and the participants immersed themselves in different worlds and countries through modern technology. They visited space and were able to get an interesting look at moon rockets!
Another highlight of the camp was operating and printing with the 3D printer, where the participants programmed items such as superheroes, a traditional Chinese figure and they printed the figurines to take home with them.
Students also learned how to program a robot by learning different programming languages. At the end of the camp, each student received a certificate for their outstanding participation. Our first ISR Robotics Camp was without a doubt a great success! “It was a great pleasure to work with students who have a curiosity and a passion for IT like me, and it was such a delight to see how these 2 weeks helped broaden their knowledge in the subject!”, Mr. Aloof concluded.
We are looking forward to ISR Robotics Camp in 2023!

For many students, this role is a daunting one, but Gioya is committed to doing her best and is succeeding in her announcements. Through this, she has shown that she is reliable and responsible and sharing important information with the whole school is essential. She is kind and cooperates consistently with teachers and her SLOⓇ teammates. We hope that she will continue to thrive in her prefect role.”, says Ms. Bezuidenhout, ISR Student Life Coordinator.
Gioya is not only convincing in the Student Life Organization but also in the subjects of Physics and Chemistry. Her teacher, Ms. Mitchell, considers her an excellent student in both subjects.
