This is an optional course for anyone who is interested, with lots of ideas on how to stay well, calm, and centred.  If you have an idea for something that you don't see here already, please send a message and we can work out a solution together.

This is our new official e-SLIP page!

We will share resources, have conversations and make decisions using this page. 

Over the final weeks of school this term, take some time to read, relax and chat with other book lovers at ISH. We will meet a couple times via video chat before the end of the year. It will be an informal and 'after school' way to meet with your friends and talk books.

Creativity is what makes the world go ’round. Just look around you: Everything we have today was once invented by a creative mind. The world would be a better place with just one more divergent thinker in it, and that’s where we can make an impact.

Economics is essentially about dealing with scarcity and the problem of resource allocation affecting individuals, firms and markets, countries, governments and societies. Although it involves the formulation of theory, it’s not a purely theoretical subject basically because economic theories can be applied to real-world. It does not exist in a vacuum, because it naturally must consider how economic theory is to be applied in an international context.

This is your end of year History examination.

The topic is: Who Started the Cold War?

Mathematics: applications and interpretation is for students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world and solving practical problems. They will also be interested in harnessing the power of technology alongside exploring mathematical models. Students who take Mathematics: applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context.

ESS is a complex course, requiring a diverse set of skills from its students. It is firmly grounded in both a scientific exploration of environmental systems in their structure and function and in the exploration of cultural, economic, ethical, political, and social interactions of societies with the environment. As a result of studying this course, students will become equipped with the ability to recognize and evaluate the impact of our complex system of societies on the natural world. The interdisciplinary nature of the course requires a broad skill set from students and includes the ability to perform research and investigations and to participate in philosophical discussion. The course requires a systems approach to environmental understanding and problem solving, and promotes holistic thinking about environmental issues. It is recognized that to understand the environmental issues of the 21st century and suggest suitable management solutions, both the human and environmental aspects must be understood. Students should be encouraged to develop solutions from a personal to a community and to a global scale.

Through the exploration of cause and effect, the course investigates how values interact with choices and actions, resulting in a range of environmental impacts. Students develop an understanding that the connections between environmental systems and societies are diverse, varied and dynamic. The complexity of these interactions challenges those working towards understanding the actions required for effective guardianship of the planet and sustainable and equitable use of shared resources.

Looking at areas of knowledge (Art, History, Maths, Natural and Human Sciences) as well as other knowledge systems, and considering how perspectives, scope and ethics change.
