“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” is a quote that inspires many educators to think of various ways of making children learn. One of the ways of applying acquired knowledge in practice is to get students involved in hosting different fairs.

The Science Department of Nurorda International School organized an unforgettable event that involved senior students demonstrate how science works to junior students. The science fair was a culminating activity of the series of events dedicated to the science week that was held from 13 to 17 October, 2014. During the fair students showed a great number of experiments and tried to explain to people how and why certain processes happen. Students were able to see that everyday objects are, in fact, all scientific processes. The fair is believed to arouse curiosity and interest in sciences and it is hoped that students will try harder to learn during science classes.

There was a culminating event in our school today. The students of Nurorda International School have shown their potentials by building their own water rockets.

Our school aims at preparing learners with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed at university. In this regard, the school cooperates with many Higher Education institutions and organisations to keep our secondary school students informed about the admission processes and qualificationsin various establishments.

Jointly organised with ‘EducationUSA’ and US Embassy in Astana, a university fair with the participation of 25 universities was held in the school. Students had an opportunity to get acquainted with some essential information about the Higher Education in the USA.

Our school was granted a special status by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan that enables us to make our school even a better place to learn and grow. In June 2014, we made history by having the first graduating class of our school. And I am proud to announce that all of them are now continuing their education in various institutions of Higher Education in seven different countries worldwide. Our current students have demonstrated an exciting performance in challenging Cambridge International Examinations so far. And I hope these achievements will boost even more.

Our student population has grown and now we have representatives of 14 various countries so far. We have added new members to our faculty with teachers from 9 different countries. At Nurordatogether with the teaching staff and the school community, we need to continually evaluate what we do and how we do it, to ensure that we are providing the best possible educational opportunities for all children. This is our goal and commitment.

Thank you teachers for your professionalism and dedication to the task of teaching the children.Thank you children for your efforts, enthusiasm and persistence with your learning.Thank you parents for your ongoing support of your children's education. I wish good luck to all of you in the new academic year.
