NEW PRIMARY PLAYGROUND
FACILITY
We are proud to announce an additional new
playground facility. We have succeeded in renting a
large plot of land with a surface of 1,440 sqm located
exactly behind Verita School. In February we started to
clear the land and to fence the area and by March
levelling the ground. Our hopes are that by the end of
April when the weather is better to install a fully
equipped playground and other exciting outdoor
activities for our students.

OUR NEW SECONDARY
LIBRARY
The library should be one of the most exciting places
in the school: the hub of learning, reading, research,
discussion and collaboration. We have created such a
space in our new, cosy library for our secondary
students. In order to create a library that would meet
the needs of our secondary students who will be
entering the International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme, we enlisted the help of library
consultant, Cristina Cuzuc, to implement services,
resources and facilities for our secondary library. We
ordered hundreds of books that meet the need for IB
guidelines for both fiction and non-fiction. Beginning
last year, the secondary library started to build up its
IB collection together with the demand of students’
needs. Jointly with the IB coordinator and teachers,
we endeavour to fill in the information needs for
students in various IB subjects, and for those
students completing their iGCSE.
