Snow Sports Excursion to Japan
ICHK students, parents staff have enjoyed a wonderful snow sports excursion to Japan.
A large group from school spent time in the stunning Shiga Kogen area, learning how to ski and snowboard, sampling new food and experiencing Japanese culture and hospitality.
Students were encouraged to develop a growth mindset, to show resilience in the face of difficulties and continuously search for improvement – all values we aim to develop at ICHK.
On the final evening, Head of School Sean McDermott led an award ceremony where students nominated their peers in the categories of 'growth mindset', 'courage in the learning zone', and 'support of peers', strongly reflecting our mission and vision as a school.
The atmosphere was one of kindness, encouragement, and celebration of each other's unique strengths.
This unique community trip continues to go from strength to strength, allowing families and staff the chance to learn and grow together, and we were delighted by how much growth we saw in our students during the week.
