Dear Parents,
we would like to keep our students safe so we will introduce some measures until the situation with coronavirus improves:
1. postpone all collapsed days which include travelling in Slovenia and abroad, travelling by public transportation in Ljubljana, and large group activities and events.
2. postpone all large events for students and parents in our school.
We will try to minimise disruption to teaching and learning and protect students and staff through everyday practices (e.g., encouraging hand hygiene, cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, reduce close contact among students, avoid activities for larger groups, clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects in the classrooms and common spaces in school, air classrooms, organise activities outside and promote a healthy lifestyle).
We will organise the March meetings for parents online. The homeroom teachers or homeroom substitute teachers will send you the information they want to share with you and you can ask questions or give suggestions via e-mail. All the e-mail addresses of our teachers are on our website (http://en.os-danilekumar.si/contacts/). The MYP students will get their projected grades on Monday, 16 March as planned.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Irena Steblaj

- Stay at home when you are sick.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the rubbish bin.

On Friday afternoon, Danila Kumar International School hosted Aniket Godbole, our former student, now a two time national debate champion and currently best speaker in Europe. Additionally, as a past WSC alumnus, he was among the top 50 scholars and debaters at both, the Hanoi Globals and Tournament of Champions in 2017. Aniket prepared a 5-hour workshop on argumentation for experienced debaters. Students and mentors from four different schools (Osnovna šola Dravlje, Electrotechnical and Computer Technical School and Secondary School, Vector International Academy and Danila Kumar International School) joined in learning, debating and the exploration of the World Scholar’s Cup curriculum, as the World Scholar’s Cup Ljubljana Regional Round 2020 is approaching soon. The workshops were very intense and the pupils were not only able to share their experiences, but also to advance their debating skills to the next level, making them more prepared for their future public speaking performances. We would like to thank Aniket sincerely for this wonderful workshop and contribution to our school community.
