On the 18th of October 2023 the Year 9 classes of SISS went to the cinema to watch the movie “Oppenheimer”.

The movie is written by Christopher Nolan and is about the brilliant scientist Dr J Robert Oppenheimer. The movie deals with the life of the theoretical scientist Oppenheimer as well as the development of the bomb and the consequences of a weapon of mass destruction. The actors are talented, and the cast includes the likes of Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr and Florence Pugh.

Rated 8.5 on IMDB.com, the movie was well received by most of the students as it had incredible elements that appeal to a lot of people. This includes great visual effects, a refined storyline, accurate representations of events and people and overall, a feel of amazing cinematic quality. The experience was excellent, and the year group is very thankful. This was also a good opportunity for the class to spend some time together outside of school.

On Monday, July 17, 2023, the students of year nine visited the Dachau concentration camp memorial site in Bavaria.

The site is a place for people to mourn those who suffered, along with being a reminder of the past so nobody forgets the dark period of Germany's history. Although the camp functioned as a prison, not as one of their extermination camps, over one-fifth of the people who had spent time there died.

In 1933, right after Hitler came into power, the camp was built as the first concentration camp in Germany. Hitler sent his political enemies there. Over time, Hitler expanded the use of his prison to criminals, homosexuals, and Jews. The camp was only closed after World War 2 in 1945.

Topics such as concentration camps are tough, but it's vital to stop repeating the past. Many students believed visiting the site was an emotional journey, a feeling that could only be experienced by physically being in the place where it all happened.

We are now allowed to meet in person for the IB information evening in the Auditorium in SISS Secondary. As of today, the G3 regulations apply (recovered, vaccinated or showing a negative test result from that day).

The meeting takes place on March 15th at 7 PM.

This meeting is primarily for Y10 parents.

All documentation from that meeting will be uploaded on this website once the meeting took place.

Since we have limited space available due to existing corona-regulations I ask you to limit the number of people per family. Only if absolutely necessary there can be at most two persons per student attending that meeting.

If a Y9 parent wants to attend, they need to ask beforehand sending a note to the IB coordinator directly.

Congratulations to all our IB students, who successfully finished their two-year IB diploma programme at a time severely influenced by the pandemic. The results achieved are even more impressive considering these conditions as they already are! 

Thank you IB teachers and SISS teaching assistants for your support that resulted in these outstanding results!

See for yourself the results obtained by this year’s group.
