This event is a practical way of enhancing environmental and global education. It connects children all over the world to focus on environmental issues. What is more, the event fosters peace education and increases the awareness of school children of the importance of green life on a global scale.  

Flower planting gives a perfect opportunity to spend a day outdoor and to discuss issues such as the photosynthesis, carbon cycle, and biological diversity among other subjects.

Celebrating multiculturalism at RIS!

On April 19th, RIS students, teachers and families gathered together for the sixth annual International Day. The day was a huge success thanks to the generous support and participation of the embassy members, parents, students and staff.

A special thanks to Ms.Bokhwa and Ms.Donna and their International Day committee for their preparations and organization of the day. The day began with a celebration of diversity where students from twenty-four countries participated in the Olympic games.

Following the Olympic games, thanks to the abundance of food provided by families from fifteen countries; students were able to sample a variety of delicacies from around the world. 

In the afternoon students and parents took a trip around the globe, as they traveled to the

country booths. They experienced the culture and traditions of Australia, India, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Uzbekistan, Chile, Brazil, Canada Afghanistan, Taiwan,  Azerbaijan, Oman, Turkey and Korea.

 

A special thanks to the parents and Embassies for volunteering their time and effort throughout the day. Everyone then gathered in the auditorium for the multicultural performances by students and friends of RIS.

RIS visited the Myung Jin Children’s Center!

At RIS we believe that it is important for our students to be active participants, not only at school, but also in their community. As educators we want our students to understand the importance of helping others and to back those ideas up with actions. 

It is our goal to develop compassionate community participants who strive to lead in their communities. On Wednesday, February 27th, RIS visited the Myung Jin Children’s Center to demonstrate their commitment to helping those in need with a donation of over one million won as well as a variety of gift items for the children.

All of the donations had been collected during this year’s Spring Festival where students spent an afternoon of fun to raise funds for those that need it. Great job RIS!
