NOVA Summer Camp [week three]
7/9/2018The last week of NOVA Summer Camp went as smoothly as the previous two. While the Tigers, Panthers and Penguins relished another week of athletic activities, highlighted by the overnight camping on Wednesday night on Vodno, Happy Frogs continued to enjoy a vast array of fun and educational activities which provided endless entertainment leaving no opportunities for boredom.
During the past three weeks, we saw a sense of closeness and familiarity, friendship as well as trust gradually develop among all our campers. We are certain the NOVA Summer Camp means more than just fun and excitement to your child. The experience of socializing with children from different backgrounds, cultures, and ages is unquestionably an invaluable one.

NOVA Summer Camp [week two]
7/2/2018In the second week, despite the rainy days and some slight adjustment of the scheduled activities that must be made, the Tigers, Panthers and Penguins still had the chance to try their hands at several new activities, including carting and bowling. Those new activities provided a diversity of new challenges which kept the campers engaged and their spirit high. We could not be more proud and happier to see our campers become more confident and skillful in double rope bridge crossing, kayaking, archery and horseback riding when they took part in these activities for the second time. Furthermore, during the team building games and sports, the campers demonstrated more team work, cooperation and fair-play than the previous week.
Happy Frogs had a similarly eventful second week, with exciting new activities that were well-loved by the young campers. Our visits to the Museum of Natural History allowed the children to discover the rich and diverse flora and fauna from all across Macedonia. They were especially enthusiastic during the animal hunt searching through the exhibits. Afternoon sessions included various hands-on activities, starting with recycled bottle bubble painting, which proved to be a huge hit. Not only was it a fun way to blow bubbles, but campers were also fascinated by the magic effects created. To take recycling to the next level, children participated in a 3-day project, which provided them with rich sensory play while learning about the process involved in recycling paper.
Seeing campers who had been rather reserved during the first week open up and take a more active role in both trying the activities and making new friends, we are certain that we have another fun and exciting week ahead of us. We are looking forward to new adventures it brings!

NOVA Summer Camp [week one]
6/25/2018
During the first week of NOVA Summer Camp program, the Tigers, Panthers and Penguins had a great time trying kayaking, experiencing the excitement of ducking and chasing in laser tag games and the thrill of crossing a double rope bridge, horseback riding, chilling out at the aqua park, trying their hand at archery and tennis. More activities await the campers in the following weeks.
While the bigger campers aspired to all the sport and team-building games, our Happy Frog youngsters ventured on their zoology master classes and nature walks to explore their environment and make new discoveries. The creepy crawlers experiment particularly sparked their curiosity offering valuable learning opportunities. In the amusement park, children were introduced to the fundamentals of tennis through exciting games which aimed to develop their gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while jumping in the bouncy castles added even more fun to a very active day. Happy Frogs also enjoyed horseback riding and developed their sense of balance and self-confidence during their fun outdoors adventure in the fresh air.
Ahead of us are two more exceptionally dynamic weeks which will provide the campers with challenging outdoor activities, fun sports and team building games. Most importantly, your child will have the opportunity to meet and socialize with many new friends from different countries and backgrounds.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the students and their families who have given us their trust and support. Because of your help, we know for sure that we have another successful Summer Camp.

ASA Ballet Performance - Maggie`s Adventures
6/6/2018What’s in a forest? A world of possibilities, a fantasy flight, mystery and magic … Watch what happens when a young girl sets out on an exploration quest into a forest, and from there on everything turns into an adventure, especially, after she runs into the most beautiful and graceful of creatures - DANCING BUTTERFLIES. They guide her to an enchanted castle, a home to a spoiled young princess and her playmates. Kids will be kids, and play is their thing, or better said, dance. As they dance carefree, danger approaches in the form of a wicked fairy who spellbinds them all, save the princess. But the innocence of the kids is preserved, and rescue comes in the form of a good fairy that counteracts the effects of the spell, undoes the evil, and restores the balance of the world. All is well that ends well.

Lead Up, 2018
5/28/2018Starting High School can feel a daunting prospect for many and our transition program seeks to support our freshmen as they begin this new adventure. On Tuesday 22nd May we welcomed over 70 new students to Nova High School for the afternoon. This first Transition Session, for the incoming 9th Graders, provided an opportunity for students from the local public schools to meet their soon to be colleagues from Nova Middle School. Students were assigned to small groups led by transition mentors, experienced 9th and 10th grade students. Students were then introduced to key members of staff within the High School, including the Student Engagement Co-ordinators, Principal and Head of School. Smiles and laughter were seen across the faces of the students as they enthusiastically and energetically participated in Introduction Bingo, the High School Scavenger Hunt, and the Chocolate 6 Game. We will be welcoming the students back again on 5th June for the second transition session. Our time together will centre on finding out more about High School; the daily routine, the expectations of staff and students, learning from the mentors, and sharing top tips on succeeding in High School. We are looking forward to having more fun together and continuing to get to know our new freshman. See you on 5th June!

Award-winning YA author Mr. Dominic Carrillo visits Nova
5/9/2018On May 3rd & 4th, NOVA EMS Libraries had the honor to invite Mr. Dominic Carrillo, the award-winning YA author of The Improbable Rise of Paco Jones and The Unusual Suspects to visit us. During his two-day visit Mr. Carrillo worked closely with our MS students. He modeled writing workshops to help students revise and polish their writing pieces, answered students’ questions about his books and shared his expertise as an author and a teacher. It was wonderful to see students so excited and engaged. While Mr. Carrillo brought the fantastic educational experience to us, it was also the outcome of two months of preparation and collaboration at our end. Prior to meeting the author, students have been keeping reading journals and writing down questions as readers for the Q&A session. As part of their regular English lessons, students have been working on their drafts of a personal narrative or a short story. The author, together with NOVA students, teachers and librarians, made this visit a meaningful addition to what students have been learning. We wrapped up the visit with an 8th grade Life Skills session. The students were grouped and rotated among different stations sharing their ideas about the key themes addressed in The Improbable Rise of Paco Jones such as rumors, popularity, first love, stereotypes, gender double-standards and racism. During this session Mr. Carrillo had the chance to observe, listen to and interact with our youngsters. With their insights, perhaps some of our students have unknowingly contributed ideas to Mr. Carrillo’s next book.
