Congratulations to our Year 7 young scientists for inspiring curiosity during last week's amazing Science Fair!
We are so proud of how they were able to communicate complex ideas with clarity. Teachers and students from different classes had plenty of fun engaging with them, asking thoughtful questions, and listening to their presentations. The encouragement from our school community helped boost their confidence and made them feel truly valued as young scientists.
Well done to Year 7 and thank you to our Science Department for this opportunity!

It’s time for the PYP Summer Concerts! 🌞

From Kindergarten to Year 6, our students are ready to perform in front of a live audience made up of family and friends. Every class has put in so much effort to make sure that their performance encompasses all of the learning that has taken place. From being confident communicators to balanced risk-takers, the shows involve every student and are part of the PYP curriculum, bringing together units of inquiry, and performing arts including music, drama and dance.

Well done to Year 9 for their successful Middle School Drama Showcase: Shakespeare Shortcuts 🎭

To conclude their Middle School Drama curriculum, Year 9 students took to the stage to perform a selection of iconic scenes from William Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies. Congratulations to Ms Argentieri and her students!

For those interested in continuing their dramatic journey, IGCSE Drama is available as a course option in the High School that offers an in-depth exploration into performance techniques and acting skills.

Tomorrow, we celebrate the achievements of our graduating Class of 2025. Our students are ready to change the world!

This milestone marks not only the culmination of their academic journey at RIS, but also the beginning of exciting new chapters ahead.
