The Arts, STEM & Cultural Events
This has once again been a creative year for the students at HIS. This includes an exciting range of trips, events, exhibitions, and performances. We hosted ISSEA Band and Choir in February 2019 with a positive atmosphere and a great sense that embraces both competition and camaraderie.
This culminated in a celebratory performance that demonstrated the student learning during the ISSEA event and honoured our richly diverse African continent.
In April, a group of our students traveled to IST, Tanzania, where they competed in a STEM event, combining creative and technological competences in programming.
Our HIScommunity continued with the 24-hour Run, an annual event where we support local initiatives. This year, 24 - hour Run funds went to Kuwirirana, a group of mothers of children with cerebral palsy, and Bird Life Zimbabwe.
A small group of parents was inspired to lead a Community Cabaret where students, parents and teachers performed in a collaborative and joyful performance. All proceeds supported the victims of Cyclone Idai.
Overall an inspiring year with many memorable occasions of student creativity!
