The students of Grades 1 and 3 have recently explored some science topics through one of the most creative and fun means.

With each grade assigned a surprise topic, they were given material such as play dough, colored papers, glitter and colored pencils. They were then informed of the topic on the spot by their form tutors and were given almost the entire day to work on their projects.

January 2019 marked the Lower Primary School’s “Fun, Run and More” activity where all children participated in an enthusiastic morning race. This activity was a great opportunity to introduce our students to the joys and benefits of physical fitness and team spirit. All the Lower Primary School family which included both the children and the staff displayed fantastic energy throughout the 3-day event. It was a super way to have fun and stay fit and healthy.

The annual debate is one of the most anticipated events of the year and an academic activity that gives students creative room to express what they feel. The length and breadth of knowledge that they gain through the debate is simply unparalleled. T. I. S. has set the benchmark for conducting activities in such a way that the students not only enjoy but also learn a great deal from it.

Students of the Upper Primary schools spent some quality educational time in the school's lab. They were engaged in implementing what they had learnt in class about plants - like parts of the plants, their life and how to plant seeds. They also had the opportunity to observe the difference between plant and animal cells. This was an extremely educational experience which the students thoroughly enjoyed.

“In the end, what makes a book valuable is not the paper it’s printed on, but the thousands of hours of work by dozens of people who are dedicated to creating the best possible reading experience for you.” — John Green

Yes, being a part of the student editorial body may seem like a handful; however, it is more than something you just sign up for and toss aside later on.

We started this newsletter because we want to have a platform where students can utilize their writing skills to have their message heard. We want students to express their creativity and have a place to showcase their crafts. We want students to be up-to-date with news and to be aware of what is going on within the school. We want students to contribute in whatever way they feel most comfortable in, because this newsletter is for the students.

Dear Parents,

Thamer International School is and will continue to persist in keeping its technology-based services up to the highest level in order to aid our students to access vital information within each educational level that will nurture them as learners and eventually turn them into leaders. Therefore, T. I. S. would like to introduce to you the new Student Follow-Up System in order to aid you to access your child’s overall performance during each academic year.                           

Dear Parents,

It is said “right inputs lead to right outputs”. A family that values academic excellence and encourages it, leads to its children being academically prolific. Therefore, we have to nurture the interest of academic learning in our children’s minds and hearts; so that the consistency of carrying forward what we had begun at school is uniformly maintained during the summer vacation.

Thamer International School proudly announces the beginning of the T.I.S. Science and Engineering Fair.

Clearly, any school project assigned to a student should be useful. Surprising to some, a science fair project is one of the best learning experiences a student can undertake.

By Fatima Hossam (8-I),

On Wednesday, 6th of March, the Annual Science Fair was held in our school, and we certainly learnt new and interesting facts that we never knew we could experience learning.

The students from middle and high school were divided into groups, and each chose a different topic to demonstrate by doing live and practical experiments. Furthermore, they competed and presented their results in the form of a report, display board, and/or models that they had created.

Dear Parents,

It is time for an upgrade. Our world is increasingly mobile and we at Thamer International Schools are pleased to announce the launch of our new Mobile Application for IOS, Android and Windows, which offers great features that will meet your needs, in a cleaner, faster and more modern package and is ready to be downloaded!

Dear Parents/Students,

Bearing in mind the paramount importance of our students’ career and future prospects, we at T. I. S. would like to inform you about The Higher Education and Career Fair 2017 which will be held in Jeddah on October 27, 2017 at the Movenpick Hotel.

Leaders from universities across the world will help you explore opportunities, answer your questions, and help navigate the system.

You will be getting the required information from the delegates of top-of-range institutes; thus exploring a wide spectrum of career opportunities from international colleges and universities.

The SLC Investiture was an event attended by all SSG students along with teachers to formally initiate the SLC. Mrs. Almas Khot commenced it by giving the audience a brief outline of what they will be expecting to see. The role of the host was successfully fulfilled by Anna Adnan (10-H). After a delightful Quran recitation by Lybah Adnan (11-E), two informative videos were displayed containing descriptions about the seven departments and the former committee’s achievements, artfully prepared by Andrea Reynante (12-E) and Naama Banaja (12-E). Next, Mrs. Almas requested the elected heads and co-heads for each department to take the stage; were presented with our badges and swore our oaths in unison.

“A MOMENT TO BREATHE AND RELAX.”

The new addition to our school is a cafeteria. Once you enter, you can note how lavishly decorated it is. You are first met with the ordering section where foods and drinks are available. After taking a right, there is a seating area where you find multiple lengthy marble tables that can fit a large number of students.

There are many food and drink choices available for students and teachers to enjoy. Some of the choices given are salads, countless choices of sandwiches, and many other snacks. Not only all that but drinks as well, for example, packed juices, fresh juices, coffee, and tea.

The Lower Primary students had the opportunity to learn about autumn and how it is the transitional season between summer and winter. It is best noticed by the colour change in leaves. In this activity, children participated in hands-on-activities that allowed them the chance to explore the autumn season in the interactively designed area.
