Earlier this week our favourite dentist Dr. Jürgens made her annual visit to our Kindergarten! For over the years, Dr. Jürgens has visited ISR’s Kindergarten and has helped out students to develop good dental habits and to feel comfortable when visiting a dentist.

ISR University Fair 2019
Thursday, 28 March 2019
On Wednesday, we welcomed representatives of over 35 universities from 10 countries to our annual University Fair. In the foyer there was a real buzz, as students and parents from Grades 9 to 12 talked to the university visitors and learned more about courses and admissions processes.
Upstairs, there were presentations to give a more in-depth insight into studying in Scotland, the Netherlands, applying to Oxford and Cambridge, and the opportunities to study English-language medical, veterinary and dentistry degrees in Europe. The fair was a great success, and provided some additional motivation for Grade 11 as they continue work on their university applications. It also helped to inspire Grades 9 and 10 on their journey towards university.
