PEAC | A Powerful Theatrical Experience at IFS 🎭

Our school recently hosted a deeply moving and impactful artistic performance: VIVE, presented by the @compagniesuperlune

Ahead of the performance, students took part in mediation sessions designed to better understand the play and approach it with reflection, and critical insight. Accompanied by the actors, they engaged in guided readings, and discussed the themes and artistic choices of the production.

Performed in Amphi 2900, VIVE stood out for its quadrifrontal staging, placing the audience on all four sides of the performance space. This immersive configuration reinforced the intensity of the courtroom setting and challenged traditional spectator perspectives, encouraging students to experience theatre in a more engaged and reflective way.

The evening concluded with a post-show discussion with the author and actors, moderated by Eloïse and Léo (Terminales students), with the participation of students from the theatre option. This exchange offered a meaningful space for dialogue, reflection, and shared learning.

Welcoming Nanyang Polytechnic Students at IFS ✨🌍

Students from @nanyangpoly came to our Campus for a friendly French Breakfast & School Visit!

Our guests shared a traditional French breakfast of croissant & pain au chocolat on the terrace in front of the AMK 3000 secondary school canteen before enjoying a guided tour of the school. The visit continued with an immersive experience, as the Nanyang Polytechnic students joined one of our classes alongside IFS students.

This enriching exchange was a wonderful opportunity to foster dialogue, share educational perspectives, and strengthen connections between institutions.

A special thank you to Ms Blondeau, our teacher in charge, for making this meaningful visit possible. 👏

🌱 Students Taking Action for a More Sustainable Future 👕

Four Terminale students launched an inspiring project as part of their Education for Sustainable Development (EDD) and Moral & Civic Education (EMC) curriculum.

👉 Promoting recycling, creativity, and solidarity across our school community.
As part of this initiative, they organized a clothing collection, inviting high school students to donate clean, unused clothes and give them a second life.

They then worked with our CE1 primary students to transform these items, along with recyclable materials such as cardboard and fabric scraps, into eco-friendly fashion pieces, celebrating imagination and sustainable thinking ♻️🎨

This project was a wonderful opportunity to:
✔️ Raise awareness about recycling and environmental responsibility
✔️ Encourage creativity through reuse
✔️ Strengthen the bond between primary and high school students

« Recycler, c’est donner une seconde vie aux objets et aux idées. »

A great example of students leading positive change within our community 🌍💚

Learning Beyond the Classroom 📚🔥

Our 4ème Latin students took part in a unique and enriching educational outing to the Hell’s Museum at Haw Par Villa, organised by Ms Carole Bocquet and Ms Larrieu.

The visit explored representations of the Underworld in Chinese mythology, giving students the opportunity to observe, question, and reflect on how different cultures depict the afterlife. This immersive experience allowed them to compare the Chinese Underworld with the Roman Underworld studied in their Latin classes.

By stepping outside the classroom, students deepened their understanding of mythology while developing critical thinking and cross-cultural awareness through direct observation and discussion.

A meaningful learning experience where history, culture, and curiosity came together. 🏛️🐉

Last week, we welcomed Alban Perrin, historian and specialist in Holocaust studies, for a conference with students on Les Cahiers d’Alter.

This conference marked the first in a series of events organised within the PEAC (Parcours d’Éducation Artistique et Culturelle) programme.

Students explored the testimony of Alter Fajnzylberg, gaining insight into the history of Auschwitz, the role of the Sonderkommando, and the importance of preserving memory.

The open session on Friday 9 January was moderated by two Terminale students, Ava and Leopold, highlighting the role of younger generations in the transmission of history. Congratulations to them for their poise, engagement, and maturity in leading this important session.

Further workshops are coming soon, and two classes will take part in a study trip to Auschwitz and Krakow in March.

We thank Alban Perrin for his contribution, as well as the teaching staff involved in this PEAC project, Olivier Massis, and the teachers who placed their trust in Alban Perrin by welcoming him into their classrooms: Marie Julie Cabibel-Tassy, Xavier Ongaro, Cecilia Bordas and Maxime Pilon.

CE1 Sports Day: Learning Through Movement! ✨🏃‍♀️

Throwback to our CE1 students who enjoyed an energetic and joyful Sports Day filled with fun, teamwork, and challenges! 💪🎯
Throughout the day, they took part in a variety of engaging activities such as Upside Down Caterpillar, Shuttle Puzzle or Pipeline Train. Each game encouraged cooperation, coordination, and lots of smiles! 😄

Beyond the fun, this Sports Day was a wonderful opportunity for our students to stay active both physically and mentally. 🧠⚡

They had to think, strategize, solve problems, and communicate with their teammates while moving, running, balancing, and pushing their limits. A perfect balance of body and mind in action!
A great reminder that learning also happens through play, movement, and shared experiences. 🌟👏

A Morning of Imagination and Fun at the Alliance Française! 🎨📚💫

IFS 6eme and 5eme French Passerelle students had a wonderful time visiting the Alliance Française before the holidays. Accompanied by their teachers, Ms. Debove, Ms. Leteissier, and Mr. Da Silva, the students explored the exhibition “IMAGINAIRE – Once Upon a Toy”, celebrating games, toys, and childhood memories.

They were warmly welcomed in the Media Library, where a fun guessing game about comic book heroes and children’s books awaited them. A scavenger hunt gave them the chance to discover the exhibition in an interactive way, and then later, they were given a time to play a round of the famous French game, Werewolves of Thiercelieux.

A big thank you to the @afsingapour team for making this moment so enjoyable and memorable! 📸 Swipe to see some highlights.
