Spotlight On Our Student Emanuela
This week, we spotlight our seventh–grader, Emanuela, who joined ISR in 2020. Emanuela exhibits true ISR qualities by being helpful, kind and displaying her strength as she navigates her way in Middle School. She is exceptionally intelligent and participates regularly in classroom discussions. Despite these natural attributes, Emanuela has proven to be a true friend to her peers.
Our Student Counsellor says of her, “Emanuela is a student who, in the three years that I have known her, has shown significant personal growth in standing true to her morals and exhibits herself as a true friend to her peers. She is a student who shows pure empathy for others, and is an open-minded individual who is eager to learn more. Emanuela was also a recipient of the Middle School Anti-Discrimination Advocates Award by showing her courageousness in standing up against discrimination and bullying of all forms. Be proud of who you are Emanuela!” We are proud to have students such as Emanuela who embody the true meaning of our motto and allow themselves to develop “great minds and strong characters”.
We are very proud to spotlight Emanuela one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
Every Friday, our Student Spotlight Project aims to highlight one of our outstanding students who, in line with this year’s theme, is striving for “extraordinary achievements” on a daily basis.

ISR Coding Camp 2022
ISR Coding Camp 2022
Monday, 18 July 2022
Mr. Ellis, Head of Computer Science, led five students in our first successful ISR Coding Camp. In the beginning of the week, the participants learned how to write and execute Python programs on the micro:bit. They used simple coding patterns before using General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins to connect it to external hardware components, such as LEDs and speakers.
During the next two days, the students focused on environment-themed projects, such as creating a Bird Conservation Website and using App Inventor to create a Food Production Quiz that could be downloaded and used on a mobile device. Upon completion of these projects, each participant received a certificate for their successful work. The last two days focused on creating 3D objects and animations using Blender software and designing a ‘CODER’ key ring using Blocks CAD. Each key ring was 3D printed and handed to the students at the end of the ISR Coding Camp 2022 as e memory for all participating students.
We thank Mr. Ellis for this exciting week, and we look forward to another ISR Coding Camp next year.

Monday, 11 July 2022
Last week, our second successful ISR Robotics Camp took place during the summer break.
Our head of IT department at ISR, Mr. Aloof, successfully implemented the camp with the participating students and showed them the world of Virtual Reality (VR), programming and many other interesting topics of IT. The students had the opportunity to travel to different countries and worlds with the help of VR-Goggles and discover many exciting things.
In addition, the students were allowed to use our 3D printer and create so-called “ISR Coins” on the computer and then print them out. The participants found this extremely exciting! The coins and other printouts, such as a toy cat, were allowed to be taken home by the children as a Robotics Camp souvenir.
Furthermore, the knowledge of the students in the field of programming robots was expanded and they learned different programming languages to operate the robots.
In summary, the ISR Robotics Camp was a great success! The participating students could enjoy a varied program as well as dive into the world of modern technologies!
We are already looking forward to the ISR Robotics Camp in 2023!

Monday, 4 July 2022
We have yet another successful week of ISR Sports Camps behind us! As in the past, sports enthusiasts from Kindergarten to Grade 8 took part in the camp and had an eventful week focused on various sporting activities where the fun factor was guaranteed.
We started this year with a record number of 120 sport-loving children, who were divided into age-appropriate groups so that each group received a program tailored to their needs. Throughout the week, students were able to try their hand at a variety of physical activities and games such as tennis, taekwondo, fencing, field hockey, as well as Yoga, and Mindfulness, meaning our students had the chance to enjoy a plethora of activities both outdoors, and inside our spacious sports hall. To top off the week, the students also got the chance to participate in several excursions, such as to a trampoline park, climbing halls, and much more.
As our sports teachers know the value of strong relationships, they began the week with a round of introductions so that all participants could make new friends. All groups harmonized excellently, and the participants enjoyed the time together as well as the various sports activities. We would like to thank our entire sports team for this unforgettable week and the time and effort they put into the preparations as well as the execution. We are already looking forward to another ISR Sports Camp next year!

Once again another successful ISR Summer Art Camp took place this year. Last week 12 participants took part in the camp organized by Bettina Schulenberg, mother and long-time partner of ISR. Ms. Schulenberg prepared a creative week for the children, in which they could experiment with new painting techniques and different materials. The week started with a round of introductions and icebreakers, but then quickly became innovative. The participants were trying out using different painting techniques and working with different materials (wood, canvas or cardboard) while using acrylic paint. They also worked with papermaché, discovered the collage technique, did some recycling art, and much more.
An essential part of the day was the joint lunch, where all participants exchanged ideas and used the creative break to come up with new ideas. All attendees highly enjoyed the week and created unique and beautiful art during the camp. As a highlight of the week, all camp participants invited their families to an exhibition on the last day. There they presented their works and all visitors were amazed by their extraordinary art work. The exhibition was a delightful way to end the successful week and celebrate the achievements of all the students.
We want to thank Ms. Schulenberg for another successful ISR Art Camp and are already looking forward to the next camp in the new year!

ISR hosted yet another successful Cooking Camp last week! The program was organized and led by our long-time partner, BHG. BROICHCATERING GMBH. A total of seven student participants spent a week learning about healthy eating and how to prepare healthy dishes.
To kick off the week, the Broich staff welcomed all participants through introductions and icebreakers before the students were familiarized to the workings of a commercial kitchen. Each day of camp began with a balanced and self-prepared breakfast, followed by different lessons on nutrition. During these lessons, the camp participants learned about different healthy foods and the camp leaders showed the children how to prepare them accordingly.
A highlight of the week was the excursion to a bakery, where the children were allowed to take a look behind the scenes and had the opportunity to learn about the procedures and processes of a bakery. In addition, they were even able to bake cookies themselves on site – this was a fun and informative experience for all the children! The week came to a close with a special event on Friday. All the participants invited their families to a three-course meal in the ISR cafeteria, which was festively prepared especially for the occasion. We would like to thank our long-time partner BHG. BROICHCATERING GMBH for organizing and hosting the camp.
A special thanks to Ms. Müller and Ms. Kirstein, who led the camp here on-site and prepared an unforgettable week for the children.

Spotlight On Our Student Rialda
This week, we spotlight our third-grader Rialda, who joined ISR last year. She is a hardworking and dedicated student who loves to help and support her classmates. Rialda is characterized by her friendly nature, her humor, and her eagerness to learn. Although she transferred in the middle of the corona pandemic and could only attend classes virtually, she has done incredibly well in her time here.
Ms. Bucher, Rialda’s music teacher stated, “Rialda joined ISR in August with virtually no English. From Day 1, she’s put her best effort into everything. Rialda is very conscientious. If she does not understand something, she takes responsibility and asks for clarification because she simply wants to be the best that she can be. She is also very helpful and empathic, and she can sense when a teacher needs help carrying something and offers to jump in to help before anyone is asked. I am so glad that Rialda and her brothers have joined ISR!”
We are very proud to spotlight Rialda one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
