Activities

At ISH our belief in life-long learning is reflected in our diverse range of activities for parents, offered by both teachers and parents alike. Whether you are interested in getting to know more people at the school, learning more about our host country Germany, boosting your grey brain cells, or simply want to have a bit of fun, a good way is to become involved in one of the parent social groups or activities listed below.  Please feel free to contact any of the individuals below for more information about the activities.

  • Ladies Tennis

    Do you like playing tennis? ISH has a ladies tennis group who play in term time.

    We are looking for new players. We have regular players who play every week and others on the reserve list who play when we need extra players.

    We meet to play tennis every Tuesday morning from 11.00 - 13.00 at the Schenefeld Sports centre. We play three doubles matches that are organised beforehand. These are indoor courts so we play whatever the weather. Our first day back after the start of the autumn term is Tuesday 23rd August 2011.
