English International School Newsletter of the 7th November 2025

Dear Parents,

Teachers welcomed smiling faces back at school after the half-term break. The rest of the term promises to be an interesting and eventful time of learning and sharing ideas.

COP 30

The 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change is to be held this month in Belém, Brazil. We are promoting awareness of the event in school, and drawing connections to our daily lives and habits. We hope for a productive summit with strong and lasting commitment to goals.

Water Bottles

We have noticed at school that some of the children are still bringing plastic Possotome (or other brand) bottles to school rather than a thermos or flask, which keeps water cool, and is more practical and eco-friendly. Please discuss the advantages of a thermos or flask with your child.

Contact Details

If your contact details have changed, kindly call into school to give the updated information to the school secretary. It is vital that we have your working phone numbers and email addresses on file in case of an emergency.

School Arrival and Dismissal

We request your consideration regarding the guards’ instructions to keep a smooth flow of traffic. Instructions are given for the safety of our children and also out of respect for our neighbours. Kindly request the cooperation of your drivers on this issue. The school dismissal time for children not participating in After-School Activities is 2:45 p.m. Please make sure that your children are picked up promptly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
