Celebrating Nine Years of International College

Celebrating Nine Years of International College

On the morning of Monday, 28 July, the International College community came together to celebrate a significant milestone: our ninth anniversary. It was a time to reflect on our journey so far and look ahead with enthusiasm and commitment as we continue building our future together.

We were honoured to be joined by two special guests from Nord Anglia Education: Ms Anique Seldon, Regional Director of Admissions, Marketing and Communications for the Americas, and Mr Ricardo Marques, Regional CRM & Data Operations Manager for the Americas.

To commemorate this special occasion, our Head of School, Mark Rosevear, addressed the community with thoughtful words. He commented on certain aspects of current times, particularly the impact of social media and its effects, and encouraged students to become 'critical thinkers'. Read the full speech here.

Our Head Girl and Head Boy also took the stage, offering heartfelt reflections on their journey as IC students. Avril R. expressed her appreciation for a school that values more than just leadership and achievement, saying: 'What I love most about IC is that it doesn’t only celebrate leadership or achievement; it celebrates effort, curiosity, and presence.' She encouraged her peers to embrace challenges and give things a try. Read the full speech here. For his part, Stéfano highlighted the importance of recognising life’s pivotal moments and appreciating 'the people who helped you along the way'. Read the full speech here.

A particularly significant part of the celebration was the formal closing of the Board of Governors by its current Chair, Rodrigo Diz. He shared a moving letter of gratitude and closure, acknowledging the dedication and vision that guided IC through its years, and encouraged students to rely on IC as a strong foundation for building their dreams. Read the full speech here.

The event concluded with a lively performance by the IC Band. Congratulations to students: Carola M., Catalina A., Daniel F., Tomás E., Amelia G., and Teo R., their talent and energy lit up the stage.

Throughout the evening, students enjoyed various Interhouse activities involving arts, drama, and sports, and joined their fellow house-mates to compete and earn valuable points for the House Competition.

To share in the joy of this special celebration, we invite you to watch our commemorative video marking nine years of International College.
