Our Secondary Years Learning Partners went to the local Boulderhalle and tried their hand at bouldering—a completely new sport for some of them.
With expert coaching, they tackled new challenges, learned how to fall safely, and, most importantly, how to get back up and try again! 💪
This ties perfectly with our learner profile focus this month: resilience. 🌟 Learning to embrace failure, push through, and grow stronger is a lesson that applies far beyond the climbing wall.

Every year on November 11, children and families across Germany gather to remember Saint Martin, known for his kindness and generosity. The story goes that Martin, a Roman soldier, saw a poor man shivering in the cold and shared his warm cloak with him. Inspired by his compassion, people today celebrate with lantern processions, songs, and bonfires, lighting up the night in remembrance of sharing and caring for one another. 🕯️💛

October as Pink Month has come to an end and now we’re turning our attention to November or Movember as it has become more commonly called. 📢
While October focuses on female-specific cancers, Movember shines a light on men’s health and cancer awareness.

ISN parents, if you�...
