In commemoration of World Education Day, International School Seychelles (ISS) has made a significant contribution to Perseverance secondary school.
The renowned educational institution has donated a substantial number of science textbooks, aiming to enhance the learning experience and academic resources available to the students at Perseverance secondary school.
The donation ceremony took place yesterday at ISS with representatives from both schools in attendance.
Recognising the importance of education as a fundamental right and catalyst for positive societal change, ISS is committed to supporting its local community.
The donation of science textbooks is a testament to the school's dedication to fostering educational opportunities and empowering students to pursue knowledge in the field of science.
World Education Day, celebrated annually on January 24, serves as a global reminder of the crucial role education plays in achieving sustainable development goals. ISS believes in the power of education to transform lives and is actively contributing to this mission by providing valuable learning materials to fellow educational institutions.
The science textbooks donated cover a range of topics, aligning with the curriculum requirements of Perseverance secondary school. This contribution is expected to enrich the educational experience for students, providing them with the necessary tools to explore and excel in the field of science.
The collaborative effort between ISS and Perseverance secondary school underscores the significance of community partnerships in advancing educational outcomes. By sharing resources and expertise, both institutions are working together to create a positive impact on the future of Seychelles' education system.
“We are delighted to contribute to the educational growth of Perseverance secondary school on World Education Day. Education is the cornerstone of progress, and we believe in the potential of every student to make a meaningful difference in the world,” said Elodie Vallantine, principal at ISS.
ISS celebrates its 55th anniversary in 2024, emphasising its position as the longest running private school in the country. In line with its motto (You are not born for yourself, but for the world), the school has planned 55 acts of kindness throughout 2024, making a difference outside of the school community. The donation yesterday was act of kindness number 1 out of 55.
