On 17th February, our educational community experienced a day full of colour, creativity and fun with the celebration of Carnival. From early in the morning, our students and teachers arrived in their best costumes.

One of the most eagerly awaited moments was the MYP chirigotas competition, where talent and humour were the main protagonists. Amongst all the performances, the most outstanding was that of the groups MYP1A and B, who took the first prize with their funny chirigotas ‘Los CIT’ and “Necesito un patio ya”, which brought laughter and applause from all those present.

Thank you all for taking part!

The CAS trip to India is getting closer and closer, and the school is already buzzing with excitement about this incredible experience for our DP1 students. From 22nd of February to the 4th of March 2025, our DP1 students will travel to Anantapur, where they will stay at the Vicente Ferrer Foundation. During their stay, they will have the opportunity to learn about the cooperation projects and actively collaborate in the organisation’s work camps.

This trip, an essential part of the International Baccalaureate CAS Programme, and our experiential curriculum, will allow them to develop values such as empathy, social commitment and teamwork, as well as being a transformative experience that will undoubtedly leave its mark on each of them.

Our trip to Bury is getting closer!

This experience will involve 30 primary students who will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an English language immersion programme for 7 days. Throughout their stay at Bury, from 9th to 15th March, our students will enjoy a full programme of cultural, social and educational activities, designed to strengthen their English skills while having a fun and enriching experience.

We are sure it will be an unforgettable trip for everyone.

From the 10th to the 14th of March, our students from MYP2 to MYP5 will have the opportunity to participate in exclusive training sessions in debating and public speaking, given by Alberto García Chaparro, world champion in public speaking.

During these sessions, the students will perfect their argumentation, communication and critical thinking skills, learning to express themselves with confidence and clarity in any situation. In addition, the following week, families will be able to attend a debating session, where the students will put into practice everything they have learnt in this training, as well as in Speech & Debate.

It will be a great opportunity to see them in action!

On 28th March, we would like to organise a visit to Aula Madrid, one of the most important university fairs in Spain, which has more than 200 direct national exhibitors, together with that of the main international educational centres and a wide programme of Technical Conferences and complementary activities, making up an information scenario of unique characteristics that will undoubtedly provide our students with the vision and real contact with the university world. The trip will take place by train (AVE-Renfe) with departure and arrival at María Zambrano station.

This is an excellent opportunity for our students in MYP5, DP1 and DP2 to explore academic options and start planning their university future. For interested students, please complete the form below. If we are able to gather a group of at least 10 students, we will move forward with the organisation of the trip. In this case, the cost of the train to Madrid will have to be covered by the families.

As part of our support plan for families and teachers, and with the aim of generating routines and dynamics that have a positive influence on the well-being and academic performance of our children, we have organised a free workshop for families, which will also be attended by the teachers of the corresponding cycle, entitled ‘The adult as a mirror of the child. How to set limits’.

These are the dates and times:

– Tuesday, March 4th from 4:30 pm to 6 pm in the coworking for MYP and DP families and teachers. Link for MYP-DP registration .

– Wednesday, March 5th from 4:30 pm to 6 pm for families and teachers of Infant and PYP. Link for Infant school-PYP registration.

We believe that this initiative is an excellent opportunity to work together in the same line based on mutual respect between adults and children or adolescents, as well as in the creation of environments that generate security through clear limits according to the fundamental values that we share. We look forward to your presence at the workshop. In order to facilitate the organisation of the workshop, we would be grateful if you could register by clicking on the links above.

On the 11th of March, at 15:00 h, we will be holding an information meeting about the MYP4 Optimum Project trip. This trip, which will take place on the 9th of May, has been designed to encourage team spirit, cooperation and connection with nature.

At the meeting, we will share all the details of the trip, including the programme of activities, logistics, recommendations and any other relevant information.

For families who cannot come in person, we will send them a link so they can attend the meeting online.

As promised, and in response to requests from many families, we would like to remind you of the excellent opportunity offered by the Positive Discipline Association to organise a workshop at CIT for the official certification of families. Following the training and certification that the CIT teaching team obtained last September, we consider it essential to work together as a school and families to generate a real positive impact on the education of your children, and therefore we continue to promote initiatives that allow us to achieve this together. The workshop will take place at the CIT facilities on the 29th (Saturday) and 30th (Sunday) of March 2025, and will be given by Marisa Moya, a teacher specialising in Human Sciences and Early Childhood Education, with a degree in Psychology and certified as a Neuropsychoeducator and Positive Discipline trainer by the Positive Discipline Association, which runs the host educational centre for Positive Discipline in Spain in Madrid.

The Association is offering a special price of €350 for each registered member of the CIT community, instead of the usual price of €449. You can find more information about the characteristics of the workshop in this link to the official website of the workshop.

Information for those interested:

Interested families can register in this form to proceed with the official registration before the next 7th of March. In it you must tick the option ‘Families Malaga 29/03/2025 – 30/03/2025’.

On the 8th of February a group of students from Year 6, MYP1 and MYP5 took part in the THALES Maths Olympiads in both Junior categories. Our students enjoyed the opportunity to test their logic and their ability to unravel enigmas and different challenges.

We are very proud that they were the first of our students to take on the challenge, congratulations on your participation and for demonstrating your passion for mathematics!
