So much to enjoy, so much learning, so many events and in amongst all this a few innovations to support learning in the ISS community. Digital Free Days The Middle School is trialling Digital Free Days. Encouraging students to not use any digital devices outside of class or in the library. It is a positive move toward greater student interaction, and hopefully more physical activity. We look forward to the full support of the ISS community.
