#ISZNNews ✨ Last Friday, our Pre-K to Grade 5 students turned ISZN into a celebration of language and creativity for German Language Day.
Dressed as German words, they filled our Word Wall with imagination, played language games, and shared songs, dances, and stories in a joyful assembly. The school came alive with colour, energy, and the spirit of community that is at the heart of ISZN.

#ISZNSummerCamp2025 🌞 Summer Camp 2025 – Memories Made, Skills Gained 🌿🎨
From threading and crafting to gardening and harvesting, our campers spent the past two weeks learning, creating, and exploring together. Whether tasting freshly grown microgreens, decorating t-shirts with their own unique touch, or trying Mod Podge designs for the first time, every activity sparked curiosity and joy.
Parents told us their children came home each day happy, full of stories, and eager for the next adventure – and we couldn’t ask for more. 💛
Here’s to another summer filled with laughter, creativity, and new friendships! 🌟
