Prouds+and+Wishes+June+11

Proud and Looking Forward On Wednesday 1st June 2011, we gathered together for our regular faculty meeting. This time we reflected on the year gone by - a very dynamic and invigorating year by any standards. Sitting together in small groups we shared and discussed those things that were making us feel very proud as a school growing together - constantly learning - constantly changing - continuous improvement. We also considered the "wishes" we had for next year and into the future of FIS-Wiesbaden. Below is a record of these discussions.
