Our budding innovators and architects! It was the turn of our Grade 6 students for the limelight yesterday, as they hosted their sustainable city exhibition for parents, students and staff. As part of their Individuals and Societies unit of inquiry, students had been tasked with designing and building their own eco-friendly, green city from recyclable materials, and the results were very impressive!
Proud to be fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship for the environment among our students; shaping the future leaders and innovators who will contribute to a more sustainable and conscious world.

When Zurich House took on Geneva! A fabulous, fun Boarding Olympics event this weekend, to mark the end of the Dubai Fitness Challenge.
The diverse range of games, from traditional sports like Tug-of-War and volleyball to the more quirky ones like welly boot throwing and wheelbarrow racing contests, added an element of fun and excitement.
The event was a great way to promote teamwork, physical fitness, and a sense of community among the boarding students, and provided an opportunity for students to unwind, socialize, and build strong bonds with their peers.
The water pistol and sponge-throwing contest added a refreshing twist to the festivities, creating lasting memories.
Congratulations to the girls, who came out victorious and secured the title!
