Sports Month at RIS has come to an end, and with it the academic year. At the end of the school year ceremony, students received well-deserved awards for their outstanding achievements in academic activities and extra-curricular life at the school.
We can be proud of our students as they successfully completed both Russian and International examinations and passed GCSE, USE, GCSE and A-LEVEL. In addition, 38% of students graduated with gold medals, which is an excellent indicator of academic success The graduates will continue their educational paths at universities around the world, and the remaining students will go on holiday and return in September rested and ready for new knowledge and discoveries.
And, as always, we will summarise and report on the highlights of the past month.
Trip to St. Petersburg
Pupils of Russian International School visited the city on the Neva - St. Petersburg, where they learned many new and interesting things and had a great time.
They visited the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Tsarskoye Selo nature reserve, the Tsarskoselsky Lyceum, where the great Russian writer Alexander Pushkin studied, and even went on an interactive excursion along the Neva river.
Victory in a friendly football match
This year, as a result of a general student vote, we declared June as the month of sport, and it started with a big sporting event! RIS footballers took the upper hand and defeated another school by a score of 5-1. The boys played very cohesively, showed their skills on the football pitch and proved that they are a great team.
Canoeing on river Klyazma
Our pupils went canoeing on river Klyazma. And although it rained a little, the weather conditions didn't spoil the mood at all, on the contrary, it made the adventure even more exciting.
Meeting with an international prize-winner in equestrian sport
The RIS recently hosted a meeting with Elina Ofitserova, the winner of all-Russian and international equestrian competitions.
Elina told the children about equestrian sport, the path to success, the difficulties and failures, as well as the most pleasant moments in the sport. The children listened with interest to Elina's story about how she came into equestrian sport and were able to ask her questions.
