From the Director

​What I am excited about this week…
 
Wine-Tasting Fundraiser! Looking for something fun to do on a Friday night? Please consider attending the Prom Committee’s Wine-Tasting and Mocktail fundraiser on 28 September from 17:30-21:00 in the Palm Pavilion. There will be food and a special talk about different wines and ciders hosted by Under the Influence. Tickets are K300 and must be purchased in advance at the Secondary School Office.  Babysitting is available too! Please see the poster later in this newsletter for more details.
 
Swimming and Volleyball on Saturday at AISL! Please come cheer on the Leopards this Saturday, 29 September. We will be hosting the ISAZ U14 and U19 Volleyball Qualifiers from approximately 08:30-15:00 in the Leopard’s Lair (gym). We will also be hosting the ZASU Jubilee Gala from 07:00 at the Secondary Pool. With nearly 500 athletes between these two events, this is shaping up to be another busy sporting weekend for AISL. Go Leopards!
 
IB Diploma Teachers’ Workshop! AISL has a strong commitment to leadership in professional development for Zambia and the region. Next week, we kick off this year’s slate of professional development workshops with a two-day IBDP workshop called The DP Core:  Improving Student Engagement and Performance. We will be joined by several teachers from other international schools in Africa so it’s a great opportunity to show off our school and its famous hospitality.
