Service at ISH
Service is a significant component in our Middle Years Programme, providing our learners the opportunity to engage in
our local and global community and act to make a positive

common good. Service activities at ISH are interesting,
challenging and fun for our learners. Learners are able to
engage in experiences that meet the requirements of the
Service Programme. Our Service Programme is an avenue to
fulfil ISH’s mission statement and work with learners to pursue
service activities that they are passionate about.

student-led activities. Our service activities are showcased
twice a year in our Service Expo, held in conjunction with the
Diploma Programme. Students are able to join new activities
and to see the progress and success of our service projects.
