Welcome back!And welcome to our Autumn Edition ofInternational School Parent Magazine.After a fabulous Summer, this Autumn is off to a glorious start with that late summer heatwave and glorioussunshine in September. We have teamed up with Hoher Kasten Tourism this edition for some family (and wallet)friendly walking options in the Appenzeller Alps. With over 400km of walking trails, 6 cable cars, and a hugeselection of mountain inns, it’s the perfect place for a quick term time getaway.We are showcasing some delicious Autumn Recipes on page 40. Warm Autumn Salads, Spatchcock Chicken, andbaked Autumn fruits are all on the menu. Something I am acutely aware of in Switzerland is the need to shopseasonally and take advantage of locally produced ingredients. They’re comparatively good value, and normallyexcellent quality. All these recipes are aimed to help you do just that, using ingredients readily available insupermarkets across Switzerland.Zurich International School have a wonderful new Director and we have interviewed her. We chatted with LisaLyle about her experiences as a teacher and head teacher across the world. Lisa is full of life with boundlessambition and enthusiasm for her students. This shows throughout the interview which you can read on page 6.We wish her luck in her new role.There is also a strong argument made by IB DP Coordinators on why it is never too early to start revising. Longterm revision has huge benefits over simply cramming at the last minute. Excellent advice is given from teachers,coordinators, and tutors in this in depth piece.I would like to extend our invitation to teachers, parents, and practitioners in all fields of education to contactus about writing and interview opportunities.We would love to discuss with you the opportunity to be featured in the magazine and on our website at www.internationalschoolparent.com.We remain committed to the task of helping parents and children make the most of the fantastic opportunitiesan education at an international school in Switzerland provides. All that remains to be said is that I hope youhave a wonderful start to the academic year.Work hard and be the best!NickNick GilbertEditor & Publishing DirectorInternational School Parent MagazineMobile + 41 787 10 80 91Email nick@internationalschoolparent.comWebsite www.internationalschoolparent.comFacebook facebook.com/internationalschoolparentINTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PARENT AUTUMN 2019 | 4
