The trip is aimed at older secondary students who are new to the school or the OP programme and who want to get involved in OP. It will be a 2 day trip walking up the Pare Mountains and camping on a ridge at the top before descending down the other side the next day. This is a steep level one trip not suitable for M1s.Applying to University
A number of events are coming up in the near future designed to help students choose universities for their applications and future studies:
Library Open Day
On Wednesday, September 9th, the ISM Library is inviting parents and teachers for tea, and the opportunity to browse through the new books that have arrived in this year's shipment. It is also an excellent opportunity to meet the librarians, Tahera, Hilda, and Mr. Mayo. The new books will be ready to sign out and on display throughout the library from 8:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. It is hoped that this event will further encourage literacy and the use of the ISM library. We look forward to seeing you. Karibu! M5 Leadership Symposium
From Wednesday 9 September until Friday 11 September, M5 students from both campuses will be attending the ISM annual Leadership Symposium. This
two-day event aims to introduce and develop relevant themes within the area of leadership. We expect it will provide a challenging opportunity for M5 students to learn and practise leadership skills. The symposium will offer students a variety of activities, from small-group hands-on workshops to whole-group plenary talks, which present variations on the same theme: being successful leaders and team-members. In addition, ISM Arusha Campus students
will have an orientation to boarding. There will also be games and social activities. ISM Arusha Campus students will be staying at Kishari House.Boarding Parents
