and teachers: Ms Sylvana Jamgochian and Mr Alexis Sofianos had the opportunity to participate in the 2023 edition of THIMUN, which was held from January 22 to January 27 in The Hague, Netherlands.

Throughout the trip, the students had the chance to explore the beautiful city of The Hague and visit Amsterdam's hotspots, including the Moco Museum and the iconic Hard Rock Cafe. However, the highlight of their journey was the 4-day THIMUN debate, which allowed them to develop their critical thinking and public speaking skills while engaging in meaningful discussions with fellow delegates from various countries.

The debate covered diverse and thought-provoking topics such as women's reproductive rights and sustainable development across UN member states. The fruitful debates enriched by various perspectives made the experience all the more fulfilling, and the students established a special bond with each other, creating memories to be cherished forever.

"We are grateful for the opportunity to have participated in THIMUN 2023," said Tatiana Papadopoulou, "The experience has truly inspired us to become more active and engaged in shaping the world we want to live in."

The trip was a testament to the power of youth leadership, and the students from The English School proved that they are up for the challenge of making a positive impact in their communities and beyond. Their participation in THIMUN 2023 was a reflection of their commitment to excellence and their dedication to becoming informed and active global citizens.

"We are incredibly proud of our students for their participation in THIMUN 2023," said Ms Sylvana Jamgochian, the Club teacher in charge. "Their enthusiasm, passion, and commitment to making a difference are a true inspiration to us all."

In conclusion, THIMUN 2023 was an enriching and fulfilling experience for our students. It allowed them to explore new cultures, develop new skills, and engage in meaningful discussions with other young leaders from around the world. We congratulate them on their success and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in the future.

The workshop was held in the school hall on Thursday, February 17th, and focused on enabling parents and guardians to recognize the signs of anxiety in children and understand its causes. Our dedicated team presented various strategies for parents and guardians to help their children deal with anxiety and develop confidence in their abilities.

At The English School, we firmly believe in the importance of a school-home partnership in fostering confident learners. We can create a supportive environment that encourages children to reach their full potential by working together. We understand that anxiety is a common issue children face, and we are committed to providing parents and guardians with the necessary tools to address it.

We are grateful to all who attended the workshop and shared their insights and experiences. We encourage parents and guardians to continue the conversation at home and keep the lines of communication open with their children's teachers.

Let's continue to work together to benefit our young learners, building healthy minds and confident learners. Thank you for your commitment to our school community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact The English School TLC. We are always here to support you and your child's educational journey.

It was a tight game from the very start, with both teams displaying impressive defense and offense. However, our Senior Boys kept their focus and determination high, never giving up and always playing their best. They gave it their all until the final whistle, leaving everything on the court.
