We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Andreas Demetriou for his unwavering support and guidance in nurturing the mathematical talents of Giorgos Gavriil and Philippos Rouvas. His dedication and commitment have played a crucial role in preparing these students for this extraordinary opportunity.
 
The Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad is an internationally recognized competition that brings together young mathematicians from various Balkan countries and beyond. It serves as a platform for students to demonstrate their exceptional mathematical abilities and compete against other talented individuals.
 
The JBMO will involve a series of challenging mathematical problems that will test the students' problem-solving skills, creativity, and mathematical reasoning. It is an opportunity for them to further enhance their abilities and gain valuable experience in a competitive setting.
 
Good luck, Giorgos Gavriil and Philippos Rouvas! We are confident that you will represent us admirably at the 27th Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad.

The International Mathematics Competition, scheduled to take place virtually from 1st to 7th July 2023, provides a unique platform for talented young mathematicians from around the world to showcase their skills. This competition will challenge our students with complex mathematical problems that will test their problem-solving abilities, logical reasoning, and creative thinking.
 
We are proud to have Mr. Andreas Demetriou, a highly respected member of our faculty, leading the team Cyprus in the competition. His guidance and expertise will undoubtedly contribute to the success of our students.
The fact that three out of the eight students selected from Cyprus hail from our school is a testament to the exceptional mathematics program we offer and the dedication of our students and teachers. It clearly indicates the high calibre of education and nurturing environment our school provides.
 
We wholeheartedly support Giorgos Gavriil, Philippos Rouvas, Ioannis Ioannou, and the entire Cyprus team as they embark on this remarkable journey. May their hard work, determination, and passion for mathematics propel them toward outstanding achievements in the International Mathematics Competition.

This annual competition, often referred to as the world championship of mathematics for high school students, will take place in Chiba, Japan, from July 2 to July 13. Ara's selection is a testament to his exceptional mathematical skills, unwavering dedication, and relentless hard work.

The International Mathematical Olympiad gathers the brightest young minds from various countries to engage in a series of demanding mathematical problem-solving challenges. Renowned as a prestigious event, the IMO showcases the participants' exceptional problem-solving abilities and fosters cross-cultural exchange, collaboration, and the establishment of lifelong friendships among the participants.

Ara Mahdessian's inclusion in the Cyprus delegation to the IMO is a remarkable honour. His selection reflects the recognition of his outstanding mathematical prowess and the countless hours he has devoted to his studies. As Ara prepares to represent our school and Cyprus on the international stage, we extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes.

Ms Colmenarejo had the opportunity to meet the Head of the Modern Languages Department, Ms Crambert, its Line Manager, Ms Popi Grouta and the Careers officer, Ms Natasa Ashiotis. Ms Colmenarejo had several appointments with parents and students who expressed their interest in the university, and she informed them about courses, procedures, requirements etc. 

The presentation on IE University, an international institution with campuses in Madrid and Segovia, Spain, left a lasting impression on parents and students. During the captivating presentation, Mr Andrea Coppola- IE Regional Director of Italy and Southeast Europe, introduced Professor Mario Berta, an esteemed entrepreneur who talked about "The Science of Peak Performance: Become the Best at What You Do" to the audience. 

According to Professor Berta, achieving personal peak performance relies on four essential pillars: mindset, nutrition, exercise, and recovery. He stressed that cultivating a growth mindset is crucial for improvement, as a fixed mindset can hinder progress by keeping individuals within their comfort zones. Additionally, periodization—a practice involving planned periods of rest and preparation—is essential to optimize performance when it matters most.

The pursuit of excellence requires several key skills, as Professor Berta outlined. The fundamental steps are selecting the right individuals, empowering them to connect, and creating the best working environment with optimal conditions. Furthermore, consistently providing challenging tasks and refusing to settle for comfort zones fosters continuous improvement. Lastly, a culture of self-perpetuating excellence can be nurtured by acknowledging and recognizing achievements.

As a valuable takeaway, Professor Berta recommended four books to explore further the concepts discussed: "Mindset" by Carol Dweck, "Peak Performance" by Steve Magness, "Winning" by Tim S. Grover, and "The Rise of Superman" by Steven Kotler.

Excitingly, the school plans to stay connected with IE University and aims to bring them back to campus next year. This will allow more students and parents to learn about the university's programs and offerings.

In conclusion, IE University's visit to Cyprus proved to be an enlightening experience, offering valuable insights into the science of peak performance. Students and parents were captivated by Professor Mario Berta's presentation, which underscored the importance of mindset, nutrition, exercise, and recovery. The event began a potential collaboration between the English School and IE University, opening doors for future opportunities and continued academic and personal growth.
