Student Lounge and Technology

Many thanks to our PTA for the new student lounge you can see on the second floor.

Students can choose areas outside the classroom to work whilst still remotely connected to the teacher, and to help do this we have our new space. Opening soon when the student council have worked out the operating rules!

We have also decided to update all of our laptops, to new chromebooks and tablets. We will be buying them in collaboration with Canadian Academy, so students who move to CA will already be able to use the same computers, so making the move much easier. 

Our aim here at DSKI is to have a 1-1 laptop programme for grades 4 to 6 and a 1-2 laptop programme for pre-school to grade 3.

Staff

We are sorry to be saying goodbye to Ms Daniela Rost at the end of January, and we are very happy to have Mr Benjamin Huber taking over. Ms Rost has done a great job here and we will miss her. Mr Huber is well known to may families already though, as he is working here part time at the moment as well as being a Saturday School teacher.

We are also sorry to say goodbye to our teaching assistant Ms Anne Barton who will also be leaving us at the end of January. She has done a great job in kindergarten. We are happy to announce that Mr Lubin Nepomuceno will be taking over. He is a fully qualified teacher and you may already know him as our English teacher in the parent programme and also running some of our clubs.

German Programme

We would like to invite our German speaking families to a meeting on the 10th of January at 8.30am to meet with Mr Huber and to hear about the German programme and how we plan to develop and improve it.
