International Day and Sharing our Actions at Assembly

                                   International Day


A HUGE thank you to all our parents who helped out today to make our International Day at ISL such a great experience.  The amount and selection of food was INCREDIBLE!





At our assembly today, some of us shared or promoted our actions we are taking to make our world a better place.

Neha was a confident and effective communicator explaining to the audience how we have been enquiring into an action cycle:








Layane, Jules, Nadia and Sophie-Marie used some great engaging techniques with the audience to share about Pet Paws and what they are doing to help stray cats:



They also requested assistance in their action by asking for donations of cardboard boxes and old towels for the cat shelters they are building for an animal shelter and to place in neighbourhoods around Lausanne.

If you have some old towels or large cardboard boxes at home, Pet Paws would really appreciate you having your child bring them to school for them:





Lewis confidently shared his action where he is building animal shelters out of timber.  He has already built two amazing designs and placed them in his garden to help local wildlife. He then shared how he is now building more shelters to sell to raise money to support NGOs that try to stop animal testing and other industries that keep animals cruelly locked up in cages. Lewis didn't even need to read from a script whilst sharing which is very impressive in front of such a large audience!

Please email me if you are interested in buying one of Lewis' animal shelters for your garden and I will pass your email on to Lewis.  He hasn't worked out the prices for the birdhouses / animal sanctuaries just yet, but they look amazing and if you are interested I can have Lewis email you.


Ryu, Salim, Andrea, Maxi, Diego and Carl promoted their football tournament they are organising next Tuesday, 8th March after school. They explained how they are charging CHF 2 each to participate to help buy footballs for villages in some African villages through the charity called Charityball:  http://charityball.org/





JPACK (Julia, Pavi, Ayana, Chiara and Kayla) then promoted their own NGO they are created.  They were inspired by reading the book I am Malala and are designing, creating and selling bookmarks with inspiring quotes for CHF 2 each. All the money they raise is being donated to the Malala Fund which supports girls in various countries where education for girls is not deemed important. Part of what the Malala Fund does is use donations to buy school supplies for girls so they can learn better at schools they attend.


Your child was given an order form this week, so perhaps you would also like to purchase some bookmarks from them for yourself or family members etc.

If you would like an additional order form, please email me and I'll pass your email to JPACK to have one sent home for you with your child.





Everyone who presented today should be really proud of their communication skills and their passion and energy they are putting in to help make our world a better place!
