At yesterday’s open day for parents the ISN Times reporters were busy and interviewed parents. I interviewed PY 4/5 parents and one parent from PY 2/3. Parents said that if they could change something in the school they would like to see one teacher per grade level and also more resource materials. Most parents can see improvements in the way English is learnt at school. Tazzio’s mother said that she can see improvement in her son’s German. Tazzio, one of our foreign students studies German as a Foreign Language.
I used the opportunity to ask the parents what they would like to see on our ISN Times parent’s page. They said that they would like to see events, projects their children are doing at school and also advice on how they can help their children at home.

ISN on TV
By Dan Whiting (PY5)
On the first day of the new term the ARD TV came to interview Sanjay and see what our school is like. They brought a field journalist, camera man and a sound man. First they just filmed us and then they interviewed Sanjay. They asked him about what he thought about our school. He said that our school trains us to be ready for the future.
The TV crew also filmed Jacques´ curriculum planning meeting with the middle school group. A few days later Benedict brought a disk to school with the recorded program on it. The whole of PY 4/5 watched themself on TV.
If you are interested to see the recording of our school that was broadcasted on the Tagesschau, click on this link.

Changes to the ISN Times
by Jacques
The ISN Times (edition 1) was posted to all parents at the end of the previous term, by email, which caused the school server to crash.
I thought it a good idea to have an online edition of the “ISN Times” and have created this blog on behalf of the editorial staff.
I will meet with the ISN Times editorial staff this coming week so that we can decide on the layout and format of our e-news.

Is our school different from others in the community?
by Dan and Tazzio
We have interviewed Sanjay on how our school is special and different from other schools. Sanjay said that our school runs an international program called the International Baccalaureate program. This program is run in more than 2000 schools in the world and more than half a million pupils study this program. In our school, here in Neustadt, the medium of instruction is English where as in other schools the medium of instruction is German or Dutch. Our school is also different because we have to follow some basic international school rules like small class sizes for example 15 in early years and not more than 25 in other years.
In our school we value positive attitudes like independence, cooperation, respect etc and attributes such as being principled, caring and open-minded as much as knowledge and skills. We found out that because our school is an international school most of our teachers here studied at universities abroad and they have also worked in many different international schools in the world. Our school accepts students from many other schools and many other countries without having the children take any special entrance tests.
