We had the great honor of welcoming Dr. Jane Nelsen at Oasis International School for 3 full days dedicated entirely to Positive Discipline.

On Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th October, a group of parents, teachers and administrators of the Oasis International School and the International Egyptian School in El Meraag had the great privilege of receiving a

certi�ed Positive Discipline training in order to become Parents Educators, delivered jointly by Dr. Jane NELSEN and Mrs. Esmat LAMEI. This group of 39 people will now be able to train other parents on the Positive Discipline

approach and thus positively in�uence our entire community.On 5th October, Dr Jane Nelsen also hosted a 4-hour workshop specially planned for couples. It was actually an

introduction to the latest training put in place by Positive Discipline. In the afternoon during a 3-hour lecture, Dr. Jane Nelsen reviewed the important principles and tools of Positive Discipline to a group of more than 150

people, composed of parents, teachers and administrators.Positive Discipline is in the core of our mission as educators, and that is why a complete space consisting of a large training room and an adjoining garden has been devoted to it. This space has received the name of the

founder of Positive Discipline "Dr. Jane Nelsen Positive Discipline Hall".The Discipline Positive trainings will resume very soon and you will be informed via the account to the parents.

“How to be Successful”Self Awareness Session

In continuation to our workshop that we started with D1 last week, this session students learned about the di�erent types of personalities and goal setting. There are many personality tests, and each one o�ers its own unique insight. These tests can be used for self-re�ection and understanding, in career choice and how to better interact with others. Importance of self awareness, self regards, and self re�ections were highlighted in setting goals and career choices. Students were given guidelines for setting goals. Students were encouraged to visit the LSC if they need any assistance in setting goals or making career choices.

In the frame of the extra curricular activity MUN, a group of the D2 students visited the Media City in 6th October this Sunday Octo-ber 13th.

In order to promote for the annual OISMUN conference, celebrating its tenth edition this year, our three secretaries Youssef Sarro�m, Lobna EL Harraky and Salma Abu Hachich, accompanied by the three Directors of the Managing Team, Rita Abdel Messih, Malak El Ghamry and Khaled Tarek, had the chance to visit EL Nahar Channel Studios to have an interview in “Sherif STREET” with the star presenter Sherif Madkour. During the program our students had the time to pres-ent the conference and to explain to the audience the purpose of the conference. Our students were delighted with the expe-rience that they would like to remake.
