Oeiras International School

We cannot wait for our students to return on Monday!

Today we welcomed the nine new members of the #OIS team. With #colleagues joining us from schools in #Dubai, #Armenia, and #Portugal, "coming from" #Ireland, Portugal, #Spain, the #UnitedKingdom, and the #UnitedStatesofAmerica. We are thrilled to have such a highly qualified (and friendly, lovely, kind, clever, learning focussed, professional...) group of people joining the OIS #team. We have spent one day helping them begin their on-boarding and adaptation to change process here before returning staff come back to school on Monday. It is wonderful to see #relationships continuing to grow following our profound recruitment process. Please join with us in welcoming them to our school and wishing them a smooth #transition to life at OIS. #thisisOIS #weareOIS #onboarding #newbeginnings #adaptationtochange #lifeinportugal #internationaleducation #internationalbaccalaureate #IB #PYP #MYP #DP #IBcontinuumschool #Oeiras #Lisbon #Lisboa #Portugal

If you’d like to see OIS’s Principal whizzing along on our newly installed zip line in our exciting new playground, here is a little snapshot into the work that has been done over the summer. We won’t show anything else as we want it to be a surprise for our students when they come back on the 2nd September. 😊

We could not be prouder of our former Year 11 students!!!!

If you would like to celebrate with us, and see a breakdown of our 2024 Graduates' IB DP results (and to compare how our students have done over the past years), click here: https://lnkd.in/dZiqujj4 You will see that this is the third year in which we do not share data such as "average scores" as this stops us treating each of our students as individuals (and comparing them against themselves) and inadvertently demotivates those who succeeded and/but scored under the global average. As an inclusive school that focusses on each student as a universe unto themselves, this is important! We also do not want to compare our school with other schools based on raw scores, as we feel this is not in the spirit of the International Baccalaureate. Once again, congratulations to the students, their teachers and the parents! #thisisOIS #weareOIS #graduates #success #internationaleducation #Lisbon #Lisboa #Portugal #Oeiras #OeirasValley

🌟 Celebrating Success! 🌟 We are delighted to congratulate our students on their outstanding results! Each of them has shown remarkable dedication, resilience, and commitment, and we couldn't be prouder of their achievements. Their hard work has truly paid off, and now they stand ready to shape their own trail in the world. At our school, we believe in the unique potential of every student. This is why we choose not to share average grades. We recognise that such comparisons can often lead to demotivation and detract from the most important measure of success: how each student compares against their own capabilities and potential. Our philosophy centres on personal growth and individual excellence. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all their dedicated teachers, from Kindergarten to Year 13. Their unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement have been instrumental in our students' success. We also extend our gratitude to the parents, whose constant support and involvement have provided the foundation for their children's achievements. To our students, your journey is just beginning. Continue to strive for your personal best, pursue your passions, and make a positive impact on the world. We are confident that you will continue to shine brightly wherever your path may lead. Here's to your future successes and the trails you will shape! #ProudEducators #StudentSuccess #FutureLeaders #PersonalGrowth #Trailblazers #Gratitude #TeamEffort #IBDP International Baccalaureate #shapeyourowntrail #thisisOIS #weareOIS

Tomorrow our Oeiras International School graduates will receive their #IB #results! Whatever they go on to obtain will certainly have some say in the trail they shape, but the results will not define them as humans! Only what they say and do can do that! While we are sure there are no surprises, we hope that tonight our students enjoy the feeling of not (yet) knowing what their near futures hold, that they reflect on the behaviours they need to continue to show in their next chapters, and those they need to develop. And then, when they get their results (whatever they may be), they will be even more ready to continue to shape their own trail! OIS graduates - you are amazing! And we are SO proud of you - whatever number falls out of your online results envelope tomorrow! Good luck!!!! 💪 👩🎓 🧑🎓 👏 🥳 🎉 International Baccalaureate #shapeyourowntrail
