Rome International School

On Friday the 25th of November our Year 10 class, 10A, was given the incredible opportunity to watch a master conductor and orchestra perform in the Auditorium Santa Cecilia–an absolutely brilliant piece of architecture alone, without even thinking of the wonders inside.

Along with all Eco-School Councils in Globeducate schools in 10 countries, our Elementary Eco Council has launched a mission to help conserve energy by changing behaviour in seven simple steps - and everyone is invited to join in, at school and at home!

Last Saturday three teams from RIS represented the school at the AIBWSI Middle School Maths Team Competition hosted by St George’s school in Rome. There were up against 19 teams across five IB schools in Italy. The highlight of the day was the Year 9 team finishing in second place, bringing home a beautiful trophy.

Choosing the next path, the right faculty, and the subject you like for a future you can only imagine, can be overwhelming, and it is great to know that experienced guidance and support are available to us during this whole journey. Earlier this week, a group of Year 12 students embarked on a real journey and went to Milan to meet some international universities face-to-face.

Each year, the Globeducate Academic Olympics brings together students aged 13 to 14, to compete in mixed teams on topics set out to challenge thinking and communication skills, knowledge and logic, and team skills. This year the event is hosted by ICS Milan and the Bilingual European School.
