Speeches

In the speech of The American Elementary School Principal Mine Agdac, it was stated that “Future of a healthy society depends on information access, usage and production abilities of individuals” and in order to gain these abilities and maintain them lifelong, it is need to be plan and apply a modern education which is based on producing and using information.

Agdac: “Fast-growing science and technology affects every field of the education and especially in the educational attitudes, it requires radical changes. In the information and technology age, with the traditional education attitudes, multiple intelligence and  constructivist education attitudes also come into prominence. With these attitudes, we concentrate on the developments of mental abilities of our students.

During this development process, we aim to help our students gain and develop abilities of; comprehension, sorting, questioning, criticising, making analysis, synthesizing, evaluating, Researching, exploring, interpreting, and mentally configuring an information, self expression, communicating, collaborating, discussing, solving problems, making shared decisions and entrepreneurship.

In 2014-2015 year, we worked with this philosophy. There is no stopping in education. In 2015-2016, by improving our works, we will reach our goals easier. For happy tommorrows, we will raise happy children with you. Our learning content, curriculum of the Ministry of Education, is applied by varying with different activities. Along with this, we have computer, French, English and maths lessons in each grade and English science and geography lessons for 4th and 5th grades. All branch lessons are given by branch teachers who are experts in their fields.

2014-2015 was a kind of marathon for our students and teachers. We worked really hard, got very tired but we are happy as we left one more year behind successfully.

This year, our students took part in many competitions and also received awards, but our main goal was not receiving awards but making our children discover their art skills,  increasig their self-confidence and creating awareness. And I believe we achieved these.

The success of our 5th year students in KGS examination honored us. Having 3 students in first four in Kyrenia, success from fifty percent of our students who attended the exam and gaining registration rights, filled us with pride.

My dear teachers and students, I wish you a great holiday and look forward to see you again. I would like to thank all of my teachers who contributed in organizing this night, our painting teacher Hülya who tried to help everyone for decoration, Rabia teacher who put in effort to prepare slide shows, invitations and program and Emre teacher for the musics”
