Another year has come and gone and, with that, another batch of Grade 12s are graduating. The graduation ceremony for our Class of 2018 was held on Friday, 18th May and we celebrated the official completion of their graduation requirements and the successes of our graduates. Our graduating students have certainly seized the opportunities afforded them here and accomplished much in their years in ISS, both in and out of the classroom.

Our Grade 12 students have participated in activities such as the annual “Week Without Walls” trips, Model United Nations, and many other noteworthy activities. Here at ISS, our students have also created their own initiatives! Just last year, Chelsea, our student council president, together with a fellow classmate, Camille rallied the student body to participate in the Pink Ribbon Walk in support of the people afflicted with breast cancer. Despite the workload in the DP programme and responsibilities as the student council president,  both spent time to personally canvass the student body and staff to gather sign-ups and arrange with the organisers to get the large ISS contingent registered and ready for the day. Another example of a student-driven initiative at ISS would be, thanks to the efforts of our Grade 12s Jason, Tarish and Victor, the fact that ISS International School is officially a National Environment Agency (NEA) e-waste disposal partner. When they learned about the impact of e-waste to our natural resources, they decided to work with their teachers and administrative staff to prepare a proposal  to NEA about the role which the school community can play and contribute to, and make this a reality. What an example of entrepreneurial thinking! The legacy they are leaving behind will surely make a difference in this world.

In the classroom, our students definitely don’t fall behind in terms of academics! Many of our students have received offers from top universities across the world
