Sports
So far in this second semester we have already carried out several sports activities in each of the disciplines we work in our workshops, which are Gymnastics, Basketball, Volleyball and Soccer.
We have had friendly matches in which great results were obtained, allowing us to recognize the excellent athletes we have, as well as to thank the commitment of parents with the school to take and accompany their children to the various activities.
In addition, we kicked off our new legacy called "TEACHERS' CUP" were IV Medio students faces in their last year a team of teachers. In this first year of our Teachers' Cup, the teams are playing coed soccer and volleyball and so far, the matches have had very even results. Every time a date is played, the school gets together around the game and everyone wants to be part of it either by supporting one team or the other, or as a spectator, keeping everyone in expectation of who will finally win the cup.
We are just beginning the last part of the year and we have many more activities scheduled until the end of the year, among them our participation in championships and leagues, in which we hope to achieve the best results.
We will continue to promote sports and physical activity among our students, so we will need everyone's support, as always. Let's go TSS!

2022 Be Kind Week
As we do every year in our school, during August we celebrated our Be Kind Week. For a whole week we were able to reflect on what good treatment means, how it is reflected in our daily actions and what is our role as students and teachers in building and strengthening a culture of good treatment.
We had the opportunity to send messages of affection, recognition and encouragement to our classmates through a very special TSS postcard and we closed the week by reviving the tradition of breakfast, where the older classes prepared a healthy snack and an entertaining activity for the younger ones.
Thank you very much to everyone for participating with dedication and commitment in this Be Kind Week, making each activity a source of joy and pride for being part of this incredible community.
100 Days of classes
On Wednesday, August 17, we celebrated with our students and teachers from Playgroup to 2nd grade the 100 days of school, an activity that commemorates the work done, the participation and learning experienced in the different subjects.
The spaces were set accordingly and students also participated with decorated capes that they created at home and that gave color and joy to a very special day.
We thank the families for their important support in this activity.
English week
June 6th to 10th we celebrated English Week with the theme “English through music and entertainment”.
After a lot of preparation from students and teachers alike, we had a full week of performances and activities from all the levels at school.
Infant level worked on Nursery rhymes and songs and learned about Incy Wincy Spiders and cows jumping over the moon. In Junior, each class represented an animated movie and prepared a song to perform. Senior had a writing competition where students were expected to draw inspiration from a photo taken from a TV series , and write a short story of exactly 100 words.
It was a very successful week and the results could be seen at the closing assembly on Friday June 10th, where each level was represented by their best performers.
Sports encounters
In April we started our Sports Workshops in soccer, basketball, volleyball and gymnastics, where teachers, specialists in each of the disciplines, have been able to work with all students in the first instance. During the month of May we were able to participate in different friendly matches against other schools, which were very fruitful moments for our students since they were able to represent their school and develop important skills and values such as teamwork, responsibility and perseverance, among others. We will continue on this path of training and meetings, to further motivate our students to continue to excel and participate. The sports workshops are an opportunity for recreation and distraction, as well as a contribution to physical and mental health. We invite all our students to enroll in our workshops to share as a team and represent their school in upcoming matches.

Gymnastics: The Southland School vs The Southern Cross School, in their gymnasium, Professor Benjamín Yarad.

Students` Day
Once again, we had the pleasure and privilege of honoring our students on their day.
Wednesday, May 11 was a day of entertainment, surprises, laughter and excitement from very early in the morning as we welcomed our students on Student's Day.
We started with the teaching and management team in costume, with our entrance hall set with decorations and music, all around the theme of Fairies, Wizards and Mimes. From the youngest to the oldest students of IV Medio we could see surprised, amazed and happy faces when they met all these characters.
Each class enjoyed a breakfast sent by the delegates, along with their teachers, who gave them gifts and personal messages of greetings, as well as showing them a video of greetings from all the adults who are part of the school.
We participated in an Assembly in which some Junior and Senior teachers dedicated songs and a mime show in which they gave them a little gift, while in Infant they presented an incredible choreography that the little ones enjoyed very much.
The Parents' Center was present with inflatable games for all ages, a photo booth that did not stop working capturing memories and to end the day, a Hot Dogs cart that was the delight of all.
We can truly say that this Student's Day will remain in everyone's memory, especially because we were able to celebrate in person after 2 years in which we had to do it online.
