​AISL’s ongoing quest is to uplift our community and enrich the lives of all. One way we achieve this is via Verbal Jam, a site that invites every student, parent and staff member to log-in and take part in an ongoing, online conversation focused on sharing, motivating and, of course, educating!

It’s also about having fun. Hence the launch of our interactive, Jam-Packed lifestyle campaign that encourages every AISL community member to participate. It’s easy and rewarding, with great prizes to be won. Go to Verbal Jam, and read all about it!

Share your Jam-Packed lifestyle featuring an amazing array of stimulating topics, and you’ll not only be interacting big time with the AISL community, you could also WIN great prizes – plus having stacks of fun! Topics include your take on being a Health and Fitness Guru, Master Chef, Captain Creative, Travel Guide, Tech Genius!

Choose a topic and have fun submitting a video, image, written tips, whatever! The prize could soon be yours.

Dear Parents and students,
International School of Uganda, will be hosting ISSEA Visual Arts and Drama 2021. Kindly click on the video to watch.

Last week on Friday 21st May, AISL hosted the first track and field event this year against Musikili, Martin House and LICS. It was a tough competition but our leopards came through as always!
Congratulations to Chris for taking first place in the U19 individual competition.
Well done Leopards!

Last week on Friday 14th May, AISL hosted our first U13 Doubles Tournament against Muskili school.
The fun continued on Saturday 15 May for the U13 singles tournament against Musikili school once again. 
We are super proud of our U13 leopards who played extremely well despite the heat
Thank you to all our participants who did an amazing job and a big congratulations to Filip, who took first place in the U13 Boys Singles Tournament .
Go Leopards!   

Last week on Friday 14th May, AISL hosted the first invitational golf tournament this academic year at Bonanza Golf Club.
Golfers competed in pairs, playing the“greensome” format. Each player had to drive a ball and the pair then chose which ball to play.
Each pair of golfers played three holes against all the other pairs in their age group, which was either U13 or U19.
A point was gained for winning a hole, half a point for a drawn hole and no point for a loss.
It was fabulous to be able to watch the live sport as two Musikili golfers competed in the U13 competition along with six Martin House golfers, while AISL had four U13 golfers,
​Neel partnered with Anay and Caleb partnered with Mubanga.
Well done to all the U13 and U19 golfers as it was a hot day but they all managed to pull through.
There was some very good golf played in both age groups. AISL had six U19 golfers, Neelay and Rohan, Scott and Cross, Ashu and Lovis competing against each other and the two teams from Martin House, Shivam and JP along with Justin and Rory.
The AISL golfers are looking forward to the restart of school in August and more golf competitions.

​Last week, our Primary students and teachers enjoyed three fun dress-up days as part of a student-initiated Spirit Week. From Pajama Day on Monday, Twin/Triplet Day on Wednesday to Crazy Hair Day on Friday, there were lots of laughs and fun times across the week. Thank you to our G4 students, Cora, Noelle and Sophia for initiating the idea in the absence of a Primary Student Council this year.

Grade 4 students just completed a very exciting inquiry into “How humans use their scientific knowledge about energy to create a more sustainable world”. During this unit, we studied Albert Einstein's first law of thermodynamics that states: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.

After carefully studying this law and trying our best to understand it, we decided to experiment with it through a hydro electricity project. Our experiment involved building a dam, piping water from the dam to a hydro station we built to turn a turbine that turns a generator that produces electricity. The electricity then had to be transported to a city to power street lights.

The Grade 4 students learned that

• if you can store water in a dam, you are storing potential energy
• by piping it to a hydro station, you are converting, transforming or changing the potential energy into kinetic energy
• the kinetic energy of the water turns the turbine that is connected to the generator
• the generator then turns the kinetic energy into electricity.
• the electricity gets transported to the town and then gets converted into light energy.

During this process we have converted energy 4 times. We now understand that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another. We just have to find sustainable ways to harvest the energy we need.
