Class of 2016 - Trip to Boqueron

Grade 7 students enjoyed an outdoor classroom on their recent trip to El Boqueron Park. The park is located inside the crater of San Salvador Volcano and is part of the El Salvador and La Libertad volcanic mountain chain.

With the help of their geography and science teachers, the students learned more about the rock cycle, made field sketches, and classified plants. Some students tested the soil and tried to make links between the soil pH and the types of plants growing in it.

Class of 2016: FUNPRES workshop for girls

(para ver esta información en Español favor hacer click en "FUNPRES Workshop for girls - Spanish" en el menú)

On the 26th October we had a Parent Partnership Evening where we presented our life skills program. Our program is delivered in various ways and we consider it as an integral aspect of our student’s life as part of our vision of producing Responsible Outstanding Citizens.

In this meeting, we had the opportunity to listen to Lic Delia de Ávila, who is the director of FUNPRES, presented the different workshops that we have organized for secondary girls. These workshops will begin next week.
The objective of the workshops is to empower girls on how to develop with integrity within the different environments: family, social, and school. At the same time, we want our students to become role models of positive coexistence.

The first workshop entitled “Effective Communication” will be held in groups according to year groups on the following dates:

For Grades 6o, 7o, and 8o – Tuesday 16th November 2:30 – 4:30pm
For Grades 9o, 10o, 11o, 12o - Thursday 18th November 2:30 – 4:30pm

This is a new initiative by the ABC and it is voluntary and free of charge. Having said that, we expect your support to motivate your daughters to sign up for the workshop. We are sure they will be of great benefit for themselves and the ABC community.
