Our IB Grade 11 Chemistry class recently held an interactive lesson for the 4th Grade at SISS Primary. We were all excited to be doing another experimental lesson after our successful Christmas Show in December. Our teacher, Ms Schmöckel came up with a fun title for our show; "What do we do with CO2?". For the first part of our show we assisted the Year 4 students with a challenging but fun experiment, using water, calcium tablets, an indicator, and fire.

We want you to join us at the Walkathon this year! Where we will 'Give without borders' together benefitting Medecins Sans Frontieres, MSF (Doctors without Borders, Ärzte ohne Grenzen).

SISS school band "E.P. Street" won the regional finals of SCHOOL JAM last Thursday evening in „DAS BETT“ in Frankfurt. It was half past eight when the band leader of AberHallo, winner of SchoolJam 2016 and this evening also presenter of the regional finals in „DAS BETT“ in Frankfurt, asked the audience for a drum-roll to underline the dramatic atmosphere when he finally announced the two winning bands of the evening: „And the second band that most impressed the jury this night is: E.P. Street!“

In diesem Jahr waren die Klassen 6a und 6b des H/R- Zweigs zur Chemie- Show in den internationalen Schulzweig (Secondary) eingeladen worden. Diesmal traten die grünen „Grinches“ gegen die Weihnachtselfen an, um eindrucksvoll vorzuführen, warum „Feuer und Eis“ gegensätzliche Kräfte sind! Zum Glück konnte am Ende der Weihnachtsmann für Frieden sorgen und alle mit einem Geschenk erfreuen, das sowohl bei heißen, als auch frostigen Temperaturen großen Anklang findet!

On the evening the 9th of November year 11 had their IGCSE ceremony during which all students who had passed the exams received their certificates. The events started off with speeches from Mrs. Martini-Appel, Mr. Szartowicz and Mr. Scheuerpflug. Next the students were called to the stage to get their certificates.

The students at the International School outperformed themselves in this year's IGCSE exams in May/June. Compared to the worldwide average of scores both in the categories "achieving a C or above" and "achieving an A or A*" the results were better for all the subjects!

Congratulations to this superb performance! W.Scheuerpflug, IGCSE Coordinator

After having studied many aspects of biology and chemistry in aquatic systems in the SISS lab rooms during the school year, 8bSISS students thought the time had come to get the taste of a real life experience. They therefore set out for a field trip to the Oberwaldhaus, Darmstadt, with their science teacher Mrs Schmöckel and their class teacher Mr Scheuerpflug during the last week before the summer holidays. 

You find projects and activities for 2016/2017 and general information about supervision in the appendix!

SISS Drama Club presents on Saturday 2nd July at 6 pm in building 41 the story of little Mowgli.
Stolen by a man-eating tiger and rescued and brought up by wolves, Mowgli must overcome both man and beast to become master of the jungle. Along the way he is befriended by a bear and a black panther, both much beloved in the disney cartoon. In the original version by Kipling, who
grew up in India, we learn the value of brotherhood through the jungle law and see if he will overcome both treachery and cruelty. Drama club range from year 5 to year 11 and have been involved in all aspects of this production
from acting to directing, designing, making and technical, led by Mr Gunderson with help from parents.
We look forward to welcoming you to our show!

IB Visual Arts students took part in the first ever exam by presenting their work in the form of an exhibition which they curated themselves. Johanna Glover's work challenges traditional assumptions regarding the co-existence of cultures and species. You can see this in her presentation of African myths and Kente cloth with beetles, metamorphosis and decay across a range of media.
