Iringa International School

Just a couple of photos from our fabulous sports day yesterday. Well done everyone for as always showing fantastic sportsmanship and inclusion. Proud of you all.

Hongera Sana to all the students who sat their IGCSE exams in June 2019. We're happy to announce that 81% of the grades were C's or higher. Fantastic effort all round, now go forth and make the world a better place!

Anders and Pietro have been doing their Exhibition on Diabetes. Please watch their video:

Exhibition 2019 What is Diabetes?

Last Thursday the Community Service club went to Tosamaganga Orphanage with donations and the money they had raised washing cars. They also got to meet the beautiful children.

Thank you to everyone who donated to this great cause. You made a difference

While researching children’s rights, class 4/5 discovered that across Africa and Asia many children their age don’t have clean water. They have to walk up to 6km every day to fetch 20 litres so they can drink safely. To try and empathise with their suffering our students walked 1.5km carrying 20 litres between two of them.

We were very lucky to have an impromptu visit from Maher Albarwani who is currently setting a new record by being the first person from an Arab country to ride round the African continent on his BMW F800GS.
He came and spoke to the school and was kind enough to spend over an hour answering questions. If you see him en route please give him all your support.

Safari Njema from IIS!

Last weekend our PTA organised a sponsored bike ride and walk to raise money for Pomerini School, a school in Iringa that supports students with disabilities and special needs. Through everyone’s efforts and kind donations we were able to raise a whopping 831,000/= all of which will go to the school. A huge thank you to everyone.
If anyone else would like to donate to such a worthy cause, then please get in touch and we will happily tell you how.

Trick or Treating in the rain, Happy Halloween....

Some more pics from the weekend, exploration, food and log diving!

A group from Primary and Middle School were lucky enough to go camping this weekend at the idilic Kibebe Farm. Tents, Marshmallows, Volleyball and a dip in the Little Ruaha. Here are a few shots of everyone setting up camp.

Community Service Club did their first car wash fundraiser for charity so far raising 20,000/=. There will be another car wash next Thursday... so please bring your car along to raise money for a great cause.
