SCIENCE in ACTION

Life’s been busy in our school this quarter as teachers and students prepare for several important events. ICAS exams, additional classes everyday for Cambridge exams on Oct - Nov, school's accreditation and Open House just to name a few. The teachers, staff and students worked extremely hard to get ready for this milestone of events and everyone did an amazing job.

A number of our secondary school Science students had their Sciwork exhibited in the annual Open House last September 19,2015 at Penabur International School. It was wonderful to see the whole community come together and celebrate the work of students. It was a great opportunity for parents and some of their relatives to see first hand the kinds of work and thinking what their children do at school.

The exhibition showcased the energy, efforts, and two- & three-dimensional creativity of our talented students in the area of Science.
