ISR Family Fun & Sports Day 2019
Monday, 16 September 2019
Last Saturday, we once again held our annual family event, our Family Fun & Sports Day in bright sunshine. Hundreds of guests, families, teachers, and staff came together to celebrate the first major school event of the school year.
Our dedicated Student Life Organization (SLO®), our Sports Department, our Partner PSV Neuss, and all staff members did an amazing job organizing a Saturday full of sport, games, and fun!
At ten sports stations, the students were able to demonstrate their sporty skills and diligently collected stamps in their FFSD passport to receive a medal. In addition to the stations, there was also a gigantic dartboard, human soccer, and a “Student vs. Teacher” football tournament on the new artificial turf at PSV Sports Club, which was officially inaugurated with the match.
There was also a delicious barbecue and buffet from our amazing Parent Network, healthy smoothies & delicious popcorn from our SLO® students, various CAS stands, where students presented their charity projects, an ice cream truck, face painting, and musical entertainment by our in-house music school, Musicbox Oxana.
This year’s Family Fun & Sports Day was a great success and we are proud that we were able to kick-off the new school year with such a successful and fun-filled family event with our growing international school community.
We would like to thank all student helpers, our Parent Network, the PSV Neuss, Musicbox Oxana as well as teachers and staff for this great day and we’re already looking forward to our next Family Fun & Sports Day!

Once again, our ISR Sports Camp this year was all about fun, sports and exercise! The camp, led by our sports teacher Mr. Small, had lots of variety and action in store for our almost 100 participants! On top of a multitude of sports activities that took place both on the school’s campus and across the street on the PSV Neuss sports facilities, the children had the opportunity to visit numerous popular sports venues in and around Neuss, such as the Neuss Skihalle the perfect place to be when it is 36°C outside, trampoline halls, swimming lakes and pools and many other great places for children.
Despite the extreme weather conditions in the past week, all participants showed a great deal of sportsmanship and had a fun time filled with joy and laughter. The gameplay in between the events as well as our water sprinklers out in the schoolyard provided for a welcome cooling-down during the breaks.
We would like to thank all teachers, staff and assistants for a successful Sports Camp week and already look forward to another Summer Camp next year!

Our motto, “It’s cool to be good”, doesn’t need a summer break and proved just that by successfully ending our ISR 2019 Summer Camps today!
Our students were particularly fortunate this year as we were able to offer four parallel camps thanks to the help of our dedicated teachers and parents.
The camps included the Cooking & More Summer Camp, the Summer Art Camp, the Sports Camp and, for the first time, a Ballet Summer camp! All participants had an eventful holiday week. They made many new friends from all over the world and after today, they will go on holiday with many beautiful memories to cherish for a long time.
We would like to thank our teachers, supervisors, parents and of course our students for another successful camp week! All individual reports and photos of the different camps will follow shortly here.
