View. Create. Explore.
One of my favorite TED talks is by Sir Ken Robinson, an English
author, speaker and internaonal advisor on educaon in the
arts. In this talk he discusses the noon of creavity and in
parcular, the role of schools in fostering creavity. If there was
one ‘big
idea’
which
runs
through
his talk,
it is about
the
hierarchy of subjects which many schools and school systems
around the world create, by valuing more tradional ‘academic’
learning areas, over some of the more creave pursuits, such as
dance, drama, art and music. He quotes the famous arst Pablo
Picasso, when he says,
“Picasso once said this, he said that all children are born ar sts.
The problem is to remain an ar st as we grow up. I believe this
passionately, that we don't grow into crea vity, we grow out of
it. Or rather, we get educated out of it.”
From next Tuesday 12th April, we will be hosng the Elementary
Art Show for 2015/16. View. Create, Explore. This is a me for
our students to showcase some of their creavity in Art over the
past year. It is also a me to come and create and explore
yourself, with an interacve area designed for everyone to
become arsts themselves. Please do come and join us through
the week and help to dispel the noon that schools kill
creavity.

Next Monday 11th April, we will be commencingour final (of four) regular head lice checks. Weknow that everyone is susceptible to head lice,however children in an Elementary school setting are even more susceptible. Head lice is easily spreadthrough head-to-head contact.
Our checks involve one of our nurses visiting every classroom in the Elementary school and individuallychecking each student. In the event that a student is found to have head lice, they will be personally con-tacted by the Clinic (in confidence) and also sent information regarding treatment. Should there be twoor more cases within a particular class, all students in that class will receive a generic letter regardingtreatment and raising awareness.
Should you have any question about our program please get in touch with our Clinic administratorDorothee Binsfeld (840 8581 or BinsfeldD@ismanila org).
