Our Grade 6 students embarked on an inspiring journey at the Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland’s oldest public art collection, to explore how human impact has shaped and transformed natural landscapes over time.

In September, several ISB students, parents and staff joined thousands of people around Switzerland to volunteer for the annual Swiss Clean Up and the Birsputzete days, in a effort to to raise awareness and contribute to keep our neighbouring green spaces clean and tidy. 

This symposium emphasized empowering students and schools with practical skills to address climate change effectively. It underscored the importance of collective effort in tackling environmental challenges and highlighted the potential for transformative change through individual and collective action.

In winter 2022, our school implemented energy-saving measures, such as lowering the heat temperature and turning off electrical equipment when not needed. Looking back to our consumption data, we are thrilled to realise how much progress we have made.

Our Grade 7 and 8 students are actively collaborating with their peers in the Reinach Primarschule on a weekly clean up initiative called the Abfall Challenge. Both groups of students take turns each week to clean up their shared Fiechten Campus.
