We are also glad to have some special selections from the Moshi Community Choir and other special surprise offerings! The concert will begin at 7pm on Friday, 5th June in Karibu Hall. We invite all to come support and share the joys of Music with fellow classmates and community members. Karibuni!
M2 Culminating Activity
On Monday & Tuesday, 1st and 2nd June, the M2 students from both campuses will be undertaking a Culminating Activity centered around the guiding question "In Control?". M2 students will create and run a Kindergarten fun day for the day care centre adjacent to the Moshi Campus. Students will be using skills across a variety of subject areas (a variety of ATL skills) and will be involved in creating materials for the day care centre (Community and Service).
M4 Field Study
From Tuesday to Friday, 2nd to 5th Jun, M4 students will embark on their cross-campus field study trip. This will be mainly a Geography focused trip, centred on weather and climate shaped around the guiding question "Do our actions affect the weather, or does the weather affect our actions?".

Keri Bean
This week we say farewell to Ms Keri Bean who has taught in the school since January as our English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher - Keri has also been the M1 class tutor over this period. She and her partner, Ant, have contributed much to the school in a very short time and we wish them both all the best for the future. Ms Bean's classes will be taught by other teachers for the last three weeks of school.
