On January 29th of 2019, the entire senior school department (girls) of Thamer International School were invited to watch a performance conducted by the 9th and 10th First Language English students who worked effortlessly for two months to produce a masterpiece that would amaze the crowd. The play was announced to take place in the last two sessions, filling the students up with excitement and anticipation for what was to come.

Save the Environment Day is an event hosted with the aim of creating a recreational form of education and has been constructed by none other than the 12th graders of the girls section. Backed by the Biology department, the occasion’s motive is to effectively raise awareness regarding our planet.

The special day will showcase emotional performances, hilarious plays as well as a heartwarming theatrical performance. The hardworking batch will watch their exertion and effort unfold as a trashion show is rolled out, documentary displayed, and speeches are given.

The First Language English students of the ninth and tenth grade are collaborating to host and proudly produce the annual school play which will be performed during the school day. "The Woman who came to Dinner" is a story of a well-known writer who embarks on a "journey" of comedically barging in and staying within an innocent family's home, thus taking advantage of their hospitality.

Wake Up Wednesday is a weekly radio segment that replaces the mundane power-points with something that’s more motivating and energizing.

It was conceptualized and begun by the SLC heads with a nudge from their English teacher. The topics vary every week and also depends on which department is taking the helm. For example, the first broadcast was taken over by the C&I whose topic of choice was to remind the seniors of their university deadlines and for the younger batches to be prepared earlier. I personally helped with the technical aspects on both broadcast by playing or arranging any media file needed. This project has received mixed reviews, but mostly positive especially from the staff, students, and the head of Senior School herself.

Dear Parents,

The administration of Thamer International Schools wishes the students a successful academic year and would like to remind them of the regulations of the Government of Saudi Arabia as well as the directives of the Ministry of Education in wearing an (abaya) and a veil when entering and leaving the school campus. In case of violation, the administration is entitled to take an appropriate action.

Thamer International School extends a very warm welcome to all its patrons, parents and students to the new academic year, 2017-2018. We look forward to an eventful year filled with new highs and greater benchmarks to attain. This academic year, T. I. S. would like to collaborate with parents just as much to realize its motto of, “Students First”. Let this academic year be an innovative learning experience where the school staff and parents join forces collectively to achieve our primary vision of delivering a unique learning experience to our students. The school envisions application of new teaching and learning techniques with renewed enthusiasm to strive towards this goal.

Dear Parents,

Senior School extends a very warm welcome to one and all. Reflecting back on the year gone by, T. I. S. is very proud of the achievements and milestones conquered. As a constant effort to realize our vision and taking curriculum enrichment to another level, inductive learning is highly endorsed at T. I. S., and this academic year saw rigorous efforts on various levels to enhance Project Based Learning. Consequently, the goal was attained with resultant outcome in the form of outstanding projects and events. This accomplishment has definitely been a striving factor to incorporate more inductive methods in the coming year to ensure our pupils get the unique learning experience T. I. S. envisions.

It’s that time of the year again, where we get back into our academic routines and re-integrate school into our life. To ease the stress of your high school life, the batch of 2018 founded the SLC (Student Leadership Community). The SLC was specifically created to help the students feel more involved in school decisions and activities and I am confident to say that we will achieve great things this year, perhaps even more than we previously did.

Most of the members would agree that the SLC has helped them one way or another, from overcoming extreme stage fright to making new friends and finally combining to create a tiny community for ourselves. Not only is this experience an asset for your college application but for your personal life too!

The sun is bright

And the birds are flying

As they gently chirp

A woman notices

During this event, the paramount role of women has been magnified by painting motivating phrases on banners that were hung on the walls of T.I.S. The ambiance was full of positivity.

توفي والدي في صغري وصرت عندها في قمة الحزن، كنت أبتسم وفي عيني ألف دمعة، الصمت يتملكني ولكن في قلبي جرح يتكلم، وإن أجبرت نفسي على الكلام فالكلام عاجز عن التعبير عما بداخلي. تزوجت في شبابي ثم التحقت بالجيش وتركت بلدي، وقد علمتني الغربة أكثر من أي معلم آخركيف أكتب اسم وطني بالنجوم على سبورة الليل.

خرجت من الجيش فاقداً الأمل، وعملت في محطات الوقود. هناك كنت أرى الناس وأرى الحياة أرى كيف يصبح الأغنياء فقراء، والفقراء يمسون أغنياء، كيف يغدو الغالبون مغلوبين، الحوادث لا تكف عن الجريان والناس في لعبة تبادل الكراسي، لا حزن يستمر ولا فرح يدوم.
