Dear parents,
In the last few days I have received many e-mails about the possibility of the continuation of online learning for all grades, as many parents are afraid to send their children back to school.
As we have not received any guidelines or protocol (number of students per classroom, procedures, rules) for lessons in school as yet, we are not able to plan for the period after 18 May. We are also unaware of the prospect for the continuation of online learning for pupils whose parents decide to keep their children at home.
I hope that at the beginning of next week I will be able to present the options to parents and ask them for feedback about their intentions.
Fortunately, we have utilised every day of learning and our students have already completed most of their work for this school year. I am confident that we will be able to help and support all our students in finishing this school year successfully.
I wish you a relaxing and sunny weekend.
Best wishes,
Irena Šteblaj

On Tuesday, 5th May, the MYP pupils explored the Jesenkova pot (Jesenko Path), to enrich their knowledge of the diverse ecosystems of forests, especially trees. Along with doing research on the man who the path is named after, Dr Fran Jesenko, the pupils had to analyse the numerous aspects of forests. They included finding out about various trees, their fruits and seeds, and how they are utilised for medicine, how and why food webs function, the creation and significance of top soil, and the implicit importance of forests as a whole, amongst other things. Many pupils excelled and showed some great work.

Dear Parents,
Our pupils have fully immersed themselves into online learning again after one week of the May holidays. As we are approaching the end of the school year they should continue to complete their work regularly and should strive for excellence.
Grades 1 – 3 and grade 8 will do summative assessments in school, other years might be called to school to do some summative assessments, if necessary.
We will ask certain students, whose work is irregular or the standard of which needs raising, to come to school individually and finish particular projects and summative assessments.
Some activities planned for next week:
Service Project Collapsed day for grades 6 &7 on Monday, 11 May
Cultural Day for K1 & K2 on Thursday, 14 May
Reading Badges deadline extended to 1 June
Kind regards,
Irena Šteblaj

Dear Parents,
The dates and years which will return to school in May were confirmed yesterday. It is now officially confirmed that on Monday, 18 May, the 1st group of students will return to school, these will be the Kindergarten and year 1, 2 & 3 pupils. Then, on Monday, 25 May, our grade 8 students will also return to school.
I will inform you about the specific procedures and safety measures which will be set in place as soon as we receive the definitive guidelines from the Ministry of Education. In any case, our priority will be the safety and well-being of our students.
Kind regards,
Irena Šteblaj
