What's new? House Launch 31st October 2023 will forever be etched in the history books of The Hamilton International School. On this suspenseful day, we gathered in the theatre, not quite knowing the magnitude of what lay ahead. But as the stage lit up with passion and the grand reveal unfolded, the roof nearly lifted with the overwhelming cheers and uncontainable excitement of our students. It's with immense pride that I announce the official launch of our new School Houses: the formidable Falcons, the dynamic Dolphins, the resilient Oryx, and the observant Sandcats. Each house, with its unique ethos, stands as a testament to our school's vision: Igniting passion, purpose, and potential. It's heartening to see every student find their place, and in a nod to family unity and community, we've ensured siblings soar, swim, gallop or step side by side in the same houses.

House Launch Our mission has always been clear: Developing the spirit of excellence and sound character in our students through an innovative, well-balanced education. With this new house initiative, we are further embedding our seven core values, with "I am getting Better" leading the charge, followed by respect, resilience, global citizenship, communication, collaboration, and emotional intelligence. Falcons, with their keen vision, urge us to Fly with Focus and Soar with Purpose. Dolphins, with their harmonious ways, beckon us to Dive Deep, Connect, and Conquer. Oryx, with their undying spirit, inspire us to Stand Tall, Thrive, and Transform. Sandcats, with their adaptive nature, remind us to Seek, Adapt, and Embrace. This new housing initiative is not just a fleeting moment but will stand the test of time, becoming an integral part of our school's DNA. Etching the names of Falcons, Dolphins, Oryx and Sandcats into the cornerstones of our school’s history and legacy. Here's to new beginnings and legendary tales in our new Hamilton Houses! Sincerely, Devon Brittle Head of Houses

What happened in Hamilton G5 Entry Point Our Grade 5 students embarked on a thrilling adventure as they launched their 'Mission to Mars Entry Point.' Packed with excitement, this event allowed our young astronauts-in-training to get a taste of life beyond our planet. Exploring the wonders of space, our students began by sampling space food, testing their taste buds with cosmic cuisine. They then stepped into the shoes of future botanists by planting hydroponics, a sneak peek into the science of growing plants in space. With oven gloves as their 'space suits,' students embarked on a hands-on engineering challenge: constructing block towers with an extraterrestrial twist. Physical exercise was next on the agenda, as students experienced the vital role of staying fit in a zero-gravity environment.
Zones of Regulations Coffee Morning The Inclusion Department invited parents to attend a workshop on Zones of Regulation. The workshop included an insight on the importance of teaching students about their emotions and feelings, identifying their emotions and feelings, recognizing their physical and bodily sensations, and setting deescalating strategies or coping strategies to manage heightened level of emotional distress
