PSV Football Camp 2019
Friday, 26 July 2019
A great debut for the PSV football camp! A total of 29 students participated in the first football camp of PSV Neuss in cooperation with ISR last week. For four days the football enthusiasts completed two training sessions per day. Sessions included training, coordination, speed and goalkeeping. In the afternoon various forms of games and tournaments were on the program.
A highlight of the week was the barbecue on Wednesday, where the young athletes shared their experiences with their coaches and supervisors. All participants were allowed to keep their jerseys, trousers, socks and drink bottles. In addition, they were handed a medal in recognition of their great achievements!
We look forward to the camp next year!
DFB-Junior-Coach Training at ISR
DFB-Junior-Coach Training at ISR
Wednesday, 03 July 2019
Once again last week 17 football enthusiasts from a total of six area schools were able to complete their training as DFB Junior Coaches at ISR. Under the guidance of our sports teacher Karsten Baumann, a former Bundesliga player and trainer, the students were trained as licensed junior trainers through theoretical and practical exercises. The training, which has been held at the ISR in cooperation with the DFB for several years now, paves the way for students to enter into a career as a football trainer.
At the end of the successful week, the junior coaches received their hard-earned certificates from Mr. Mirko Schweikhardt and Mr. André Lengsfeld, who work for the Commission for Schools and Childcare Centers. They also welcomed Mr. Dirk Gärtner, Chairman of the Lower Rhine Football Association and Mr. Peter Soliman, Managing Partner of ISR. The Commerzbank, which supports this training as a premium partner of the DFB, was represented by Mr. Alexander Weckauf. Everyone congratulated the students during the festive ceremony and encouraged them to keep up their training during their summer holiday.
We would like to thank all participants for this great cooperation and we’re already looking forward to next year!

Looking Back: Ballet Summer Camp 2019
Tuesday, 02 July 2019
Last week, the Ballet Summer Camp took place for the first time at our school. The program was led by Mrs. Peltzer, who regularly conducts various ballet courses during the academic year as part of our daily extracurricular program. In addition to classic ballet moves and some theory, the children learned how to interpret a given theme through movement and how to express their feelings through dance.
The children choreographed their own dance routine to the music from the ballet “Die Puppenfee”. On the last day of the camp, the children stayed busy creating ballet themed arts and crafts.
We would like to thank Mrs. Peltzer very much for this extraordinary week and we are looking forward to the next Ballet Camp next year.
Ballet lessons at ISR
Ms Peltzer offers her ballet lessons weekly as an SLO® activity for various age groups at ISR. The dance routines are performed by the children at ISR school concerts and other internal school events. If you are interested in the Ballet SLO® Activity for your child, you can contact Mrs. Peltzer directly by e-mail: email2clp@gmail.com

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.

Thursday, 02 May 2019
This year too, ISR was finely represented at the METRO Marathon via our runners and our bright yellow American school bus. Around 20 ISR students successfully competed in the Kids Cup and performed outstandingly well. We are very proud of our youngest marathon enthusiasts and can’t wait for them to embark on their first marathon relay race.
Not only our students, but also numerous parents and staff members enthusiastically participated in the marathon. They demonstrated strong group performances in the marathon relay. A special mention goes to an ISR mum for her team spirit in jumping in spontaneously and running almost half a marathon. At the end, all runners proudly took home a medal and ended the eventful afternoon with a cosy get-together with music, drinks and a few snacks. The exciting day came to a lovely end with everyone exchanging their personal running stories and marathon experiences.
We can’t wait for the next METRO Marathon and would like to thank all participants and helpers for their support and METRO for the outstanding organization.
