June 2012 (5Mb) - International School Moshi

Moshi Campus Musical 2012
“Gods Of The Caribbean”
This year’s musical was a chance for our M1 – D2 students to participate
in some Carribean flavour. Using the space at the end of K-Hall
a three dimensional set allowed for the performance to take place
on different levels as the Gods, the Storytellers and the main protagonists
battled with the will of the Gods. The Moshi students stepped up to the challenge
of a producing a complicated musical and within 7 weeks created an
performance that they can be very proud of. It is always wonderful to see how
different members of the community pitch in to make a production happen.
Parents donated plants, helped out with make-up, students gave up their
weekends to paint and set up, all to make the ‘magic happen’. Thank you to
all those people behind the scenes that contributed. Musicals, more so than
plays can be hugely time-consuming. The biggest learning curve was probably
the concept of commitment as the process is like a ladder, you can’t go
up until you have consolidated each level. They had to give up weekend time
and not only learn lines, but the music and often dance steps as well. Our
students sung their hearts out and the smiles on their faces at the end as
they swivelled round to make the symbol of Hope in a wonderful tree!

Nairobi
Paul Johnson reports
This yearly event held at the United Nations Environment Programme
headquarters in Nairobi is a great opportunity for our students to meet
and debate with other International students about issues that are
global.
This was a very different experience
for ISM students and they
all rose to the challenge by being
focused engaged and willing to learn
and grow from the experience.
Over 1,000 students from 62
schools in 8 countries attended this
year, three of whom were from Tanzania.
The personal and social development
available was really positive
and allowed our group to develop a
broader and more mature outlook on
the world around them.
