SCHOOL NEWS<br />
Most regular school news is available from our newsletters to parents,<br />
which are issued periodically. These are available for download from our<br />
Download Page on the school website at www.ismoshi.net/Download.htm<br />
SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS<br />
We will be admitting our first full scholarship students in August 20<strong>02</strong>.<br />
After a rigorous selection process, we have chosen a boy from Ilboru<br />
Secondary <strong>School</strong> in Arusha, and a girl from Ashira Secondary <strong>School</strong> in<br />
<strong>Mar</strong>angu. Both have completed Form IV in Tanzanian schools and will be<br />
joining our IB diploma programme in August as boarders. They will<br />
initially join us in June for a two week orientation programme. We wish<br />
them much success.<br />
Thanks to all who have contributed to the scholarship scheme to date. Our<br />
next task for our two new students will be to seek ways to support them in<br />
college after they complete IB. Although the school will not be taking on<br />
financial responsibility for this support, we will be approaching various<br />
colleges, particularly in the US, to see if assistance can be provided. As<br />
both are from a regular Tanzanian family background, neither will have any<br />
personal funds to contribute towards their higher education and the many<br />
costs involved. As a school, we also hope to expand the scholarship scheme<br />
in the future and this will depend on the availability of funds.<br />
We will keep you informed of this scheme through Habari za Shule.<br />
