Handbook Primary - The International School of Monaco

Assemblies
Special Occasions
Assembly for the Primary School takes place regularly. These are always very enjoyable
occasions when the children can proudly share their work, learn to speak confidently in front
of a larger group, celebrate successes and learn about the social rules of working and playing
together.
Class Presentations
These sessions are organised during the school year and parents are
invited to share the work students have completed.
Sports Day
Classes take part in the Sports Day, which is usually held once per
year.
Summer Fête
This day, organised by the PTA, includes games and activities for
students, performances by students across the school and an
international lunch provided by the parents. Parents will be given
information well in advance and are cordially invited to attend.
Special Weeks
During the school year special weeks are dedicated to the
development and enjoyment of particular subject areas. Specialists
from outside the school are invited to share their talent and expertise
with the children.
Giving Projects
The Giving Committee work closely with the Primary School Student
Council, often attending meetings and presenting ideas at
assemblies in order to develop meaningful giving projects in
different places around the world. These
projects take place throughout the school
year and encourage the students to develop awareness and
understanding of others and to build links between communities.
Outings
During the course of the school year, some outings are arranged
which enhance and enrich the curriculum. Students may visit the
Oceanographic Museum, the post office, the zoo or a local exhibition
or museum.
All students in Classes 3 to 6 are expected to participate in the
annual class trip to an outdoor residential activity centre. This forms
part of the school curriculum and serves to greatly enhance the
students’ social and educational development.
