Category Event

The school is pleased to announce that we are hosting 13 students from Wotton House International School, an IB School situated in the beautiful county of Gloucestershire in England. Between 26th February and 1st March we will enjoy a week packed with the exploration of our beautiful host country Slovenia, experience intercultural team building, and a day of DKIS lessons. Each of our guests has a host student from 8I or 8M with whom they have already forged a friendship through online meetings and messages. Our pupils will return the visit at the end of May. 

We are looking forward to welcoming them to our school, our capital city, and our country.

The 8th of February marks the Slovenian national holiday Prešernov dan (Prešeren Day). We celebrate Slovenia’s most notable poet, who is also the author of the Slovenian National Anthem.

France Prešeren is now renowned as the greatest Slovenian poet of all time, but this was not always  the case. During his lifetime he wasn’t well known at all, although after his death he became famous and a real national hero, which is not an isolated case. We have seen this many times in the history of humankind.

His thinking was way ahead of its time, so he often struggled with narrow-minded society. France Prešeren was a lawyer and poet who preferred to work independently, in the spirit of freedom. He worked in the 19th century, the time of Romanticism,  an era for expressing emotion, the glorification of beauty, imagination and abstract thinking, a movement wholly opposed to Realism.

On Friday, 9th February, we will come back to school and enjoy a short celebratory performance in honour of Prešeren Day. The students will be invited to watch one of the three presentations in the School Auditorium during lessons 1 to 3. 

Let it be a day for the celebration of culture, language and poetry!

The kindergarten students are going to present what they have learnt during the second UOI (about time) on Thursday, February 15th, at 16:00. The activity will last for half an hour. On that day individual interviews are also scheduled, so if you need to talk to us, you can sign up from 16:30 on.

On 23 January, countries around the world, including Slovenia, celebrate National Handwriting Day. It falls on the birthday of John Hancock, the first person who signed the Declaration of Independence, the document which ratified the USA’s independence from the UK. It has been celebrated since 1977, and came into being because many educators felt that  students were losing their penmanship skills. We encourage writing by hand at our school; therefore, the students will join some activities to celebrate the day. Everyone is welcome to celebrate by practising their signature, taking organised notes, learning a new writing system, researching the origin of writing, writing a handwritten letter or postcard, amongst many other things.

Dear parents,

You are warmly invited to our first portfolio conference of the year, for which the students have selected pieces of work to share with you. You can expect your children to share their strengths, best work, the work they are most proud of, and their plans for the future.

We ask you to provide encouragement and positive feedback as your child presents their work. As other students will be conducting conferences in the classroom at the same time, we are kindly asking you to refrain from bringing other children along and to switch mobile phones off during the conferences.  

As the Portfolio Conferences replace the parent-teacher conferences this month, we strongly suggest you take the opportunity and contact the teachers during their weekly individual interviews or send them an email if you have any specific questions regarding the work in their portfolios. 

We are looking forward to seeing you at the event!

We are cordially inviting you to the culminating event of the 2023/2024 Community Project.

The MYP 3 students will present their Investigation, Planning, and action component of their chosen projects. Let's support them while they showcase three months' worth of work, dedication, and skill development. Their presentations will take on the form of TED Talks.
