Well, we have all made it and survived another very busy year. I know that all the teachers and students at ISL are looking forward to some time away from school to recharge their batteries.

The end point of 16 years of education at ISL is completion of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, followed almost immediately by Graduation from school. This year, of course, it was the turn of the Class of 2015 to graduate from secondary education and head out into the wider world. After receiving their IB results in early July, most of our IB2 students will be off to start university. IB2 Students have accepted offers at 20 different universities in 8 different countries: UK, US, South Africa, South Korea, Canada, followed by Zambia, Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Denmark. More South Africa university applications will come later when students apply for February 2016 entry. Approximately $220,000 in scholarship funds has been offered to ISL students so far this year – mostly to those going to study in the USA. A handful of students will be taking a gap-year. It is the end of the year and, inevitably, some teachers and students are moving on to new pastures. I would like to thank the following teachers for their contribution to the International School of Lusaka:

I would particularly like to thank five colleagues who have taught for many years at ISL and who have made significant contributions to the school both inside and outside the classroom during that time. Amanda Bowen arrived in 2004 as Amanda Leach and leaves for Tanzania with a husband and two beautiful daughters. Amanda has been a very dedicated teacher and one of the founding teachers in the introduction of IBPYP into the Primary School. She has even made forays into Secondary as teacher in charge of the International Award this year.
