Handbook Primary - The International School of Monaco

Enrichment Activities
A programme of enrichment activities is
devised at the beginning of the school
year. Sporting activities include soccer,
basketball and team sports for both boys
and girls. There is choir and students may
choose to learn an instrument, such as
piano or guitar. Please note that there may
be an additional charge for some of these
activities.
The Primary School has an active Student
Council, elected by the student body. They help to organise various fund-raising and social
events throughout the year.
Safety and Security
The doors leading to the Primary School Unit are automatically closed at 08.45 until pick up
time at 15.30. Please wait outside the school until this time.
Fire and Emergency procedures are in place and are practised regularly with the children.
Assemblies
Students meet weekly to celebrate in a
Primary School assembly. This gives students
the opportunity to share their learning and
present to their peers. Assemblies also are a
forum during which we discuss our learning
attitudes and learn about different cultures
and beliefs.
Celebrating Birthdays
Parents wishing to share a birthday cake or
treat with the whole class must always check
that it is convenient with the teacher. Cakes
should be able to be easily served and
consumable at school.
If you are giving a party for your child outside school and only inviting selected members of
the class, please mail the invitations to avoid hurting the feelings of “uninvited children.”
In the case of any “large” birthday parties where children are being collected as a group from
school, the Head of Primary should be informed in advance.
Labels for Clothes
Parents are asked to label all their children’s possessions, and especially the Sports Uniform.
Woven name tapes can be purchased from “De Fil en Aiguille” on rue Grimaldi in Monaco or
ordered from Cash’s: www.jjcash.co.uk . A Lost and Found box is situated in the Reception
Office.
