Als Sponsoren-Projekt haben sich die CAS Schülerinnen und Schüler der SISS ein Wasserprojekt in Uganda ausgesucht, das von der Wohltätigkeitsorganisation Viva con Aqua unterstützt wird.

Last week Schuldorf Bergstraße had a really extraordinary event at school. Sheik Ghassan Manasra and his daughter Sisi from Nazareth, a Sufi peace builder, visited Schuldorf Bergstraße and talked about the work of Abrahamic Reunion, a organisation who brings People from Israelian and Palestinian background together at one table with the intention of not talking about each other but talking to each other.

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). The 9th annual Walkathon will take place on Saturday MAY 13th at the Christian Stock Stadion. The event is being run by a year 11 IB CAS group.

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!

This year, as you know, we were able to include a great group of 6 year 11 CAS students. They were a welcome addition and definitely breathed new life into the fun-filled event. CAS student involvement will continue in future walkathons.

Vom 26. bis 29.01.2016 unternahm der Kurs HL-German A von Frau Baum eine Exkursion nach Weimar. Als Leckerbissen für die mutigen Schülerinnen und Schüler gedacht, die sich auf die hohen Anforderungen der HL-Kurses einließen, wurde die Studienfahrt zu einem sehr schönen und entspannten Ausflug in eine der wichtigsten Städte deutscher Literatur.
