SEK International School Qatar

 

On Thursday 20th November, Grade 1-5 took part in a special assembly to celebrate Universal Children’s Day. The class representatives made a short presentation entitled “Imagine” followed by a short video explaining what rights are.

Pupils then released balloons with a wish on them for children around the world who are not as lucky as they are.

 

We have just started our academic year 2014/2015. On August 21 SEK-Qatar welcomed the new 16 staff team, we are proud to add 4 more Nationalities to our International staff team.

The induction training was about Qatar, its traditions and values, to understand the school policies, intercultural awareness, and practices and undertake official IB training for the PYP and MYP programmes.

Last weekend we had an amazing in-school workshop on inquiry, run by Kathy Short. She is a professor in the program of Language, Reading and Culture at the University of Arizona and has worked extensively with teachers to develop curriculum that actively involves students as readers and inquirers.
In this two-day workshop, through the use of literature from diverse cultures, Dr. Short and classroom teachers have focused curriculum to include International mindedness. Using critical thinking strategies with literature of diverse issues and perspectives, children will be encouraged to think more globally.

The “United Nations Model” was started in the 1920’s by a group of students who simulated a UN General Assembly and assemblies of other multilateral bodies.
