Certainly there has been a different feeling on campus in the Secondary School these past two days. The energy and excitement that the students have brought back from their Week Without Walls experiences is truly inspiring, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the impact we are already seeing on our school community: Whether through service opportunities, outdoor adventures, or cultural immersion, students had the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and learn something new about themselves and the world around them. Their enthusiasm for sharing these experiences with their peers and teachers has created a contagious spirit of engagement and curiosity. It has been incredible to witness the deepened connections between students and staff. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and shared challenges during the trips, students have forged stronger relationships with one another and with their teachers that has led to an increased sense of community and collaboration on campus, with students showing greater respect, understanding, and support for their classmates and teachers. Many of our students have returned more confident in their abilities, having successfully navigated the challenges of Week Without Walls. Whether they stepped into leadership roles, contributed their unique skills to group tasks, or overcome challenges they have faced, these experiences have helped them realize their potential. This confidence has been evident in the classroom, where students are showing more initiative, asking thoughtful questions, and demonstrating a willingness to engage in new challenges. We are thrilled to see how the experiences from Week Without Walls are shaping our students both academically and personally. The energy on campus is palpable, and we are confident that this momentum will carry forward, enriching our school community for the rest of the year. As always, your support has been instrumental in making this program a success, and we thank you for trusting us to guide your children through these meaningful experiences.   Saturday represented a day of celebration, with the focus being diversity and multiculturalism as mentioned in the Message from the Director. We highly encourage you to read more about the International Day event over on our AISM Magazine, through the beautiful words of our student journalist, Laia. Check out the visual round up of the event on Instagram and/or Youtube. The AISM 76ers “Maybe it’s something we take for granted in our Maputo day-to-day, but this international life really is something to celebrate and we did it in style on International Day 2023. This past Saturday, our community got together to celebrate each and every one of the 76 different countries that make up the school's family in our annual International Day. Not only does AISM have students, teachers and parents from almost 80 countries, but also from 6 out of the 7 continents on the planet, making for an extremely diverse day of celebration.“  We are excited to launch a new journalism initiative at the school, where a team of student journalists are creating and curating news stories from around our community, both inside and outside the school gates. We have titled our online magazine 'The Buffalo Blog' and our first AISM core journalism team is made up of this exceptional group of students from grades 7-10:
