Mustang Games
International Preparatory Academy - Detroit - USA
December 16, 2014
In order to help prepare students for their Final Exams, the SLO® organized the first ever Mustang Games for grades 3 to 8. These games aim to test the students' knowledge in core subjects such as Math, English, Science and Social Studies.
These games consisted of 3 rounds. In the first and third rounds, 5 randomly selected students represented their class in an academic challenge consisting of questions from the Final Revision packets. Contestants have three lifelines:
- Call a Friend
- Call a Teacher
- Ask the Class (to keep the entire class engaged)
The second round consisted of physical challenges such as balancing chocolate cakes on forehead to test balance and concentration.
Visit to Al Amal School for the Deaf
ISC - Muscat
December 21, 2014
On Sunday, December 21, 2014 More than a dozen students visited Al Amal School for the Deaf. They offered presents to the young children and spent some quality time with the older ones. ISC students were able to interact with students who have hearing disabilities and share ideas about their favorite subjects and activities and even learn some sign language. When it became complicated, students communicated with each other in writing. Before saying goodbye, all students teamed up and had a friendly football match. At the end of the visit, they were surprised to discover they have so much in common.

I Have to Learn
ISC - Damascus
December 24, 2014
In order to help students continue their educational path, the Social Responsibility Department kicked off the “I have to learn” campaign. The campaign aimed to provide needy students from other schools with stationary and school supplies.
Leaflets and posters describing the campaign were designed and printed out and distributed to grades 1, 2 and 3. Prefects then went into the classes and explained the campaign and how to help each other and asked for students to contribute whatever they could.
All contributions were gathered, sorted out and boxed. Everything was then delivered to the volunteers who visited the school. Seeing the smile on everyone’s faces was priceless.
