In the first few weeks of each school year, the children elect their class representatives within the learning groups. Taking on such a task is a great responsibility and often raises many questions. A first meeting of these representatives will take place in November 2024, initially led by one of our teachers. The focus will be on getting to know each other, finding a name for this group and planning and conducting the election of the school spokesperson.
On Thursday, November 21, 2024, Reading Day took place at IMS. All learning groups enjoyed participating in various activities and were able to let their creativity run free.
