TAC Hosts an Enthusiastic Celebration of the 99th Anniversary of the Turkish Republic
The ceremony was opened by these words of the student MCs: ‘Sirs, we will proclaim the Republic tomorrow.’ 99 years have passed since these words were uttered. And we are only one year away from celebrating the centennial of the Turkish Republic. We look forward to this celebration, in the same way that they looked forward to the morning after that night when these words were spoken. In the same way that dry land looks forward to rain to fall. We look forward to seeing better days”.
The 99th anniversary of the proclamation of the Turkish Republic was celebrated with colorful performances prepared by our students with the leadership of the science, mathematics and music departments. The story of our Republic was told through with impressive narrations, and with songs emphasizing the meaning and importance of the day.
We firmly believe in the potential of the Turkish youth, just like Atatürk who describe them as Turkey’s future. Happy 99th anniversary of the Turkish Republic!
The Success of 11 IB Student
We congratulate Cenk Sağlam, one of our IB students, who, after a successful interview, qualified for participation in the "Change the World MUN Conference" as the only student to represent Turkey among hundreds of delegates, and made the school community proud.
Successfully representing Turkmenistan with the other delegates in his group with his strong collaboration skills, Cenk was awarded the "Honorable Mention" recognition.
He ensured that the draft solution he authored as one of the main sponsors of his own delegation was accepted by the committee with “Yes” votes.
CWMUN Model United Nations Conference is based in Italy and it organizes MUN conferences in different parts of the world such as New York, Abu Dhabi, Singapore and Rome. The conference fees and accommodation of the students who pass the interview are covered by the CWMUN organization.
We thank Cenk for successfully representing our school at an international conference and wish him continued success.
Parent Conference on “Academic Success”
An online parent conference was held for 9th grade parents titled "Academic Success".
The conference highlighted the need for and importance of parental support in the successful performance of this student group, who have now left behind the prep year.
Another part of the presentation where important information about academic success and the duties of families were shared, was the discussion on how parents can maintain their psychological well-being.
In the presentation facilitated by Meryem Öztürk, the school guidance counselor responsible for 9th grade, the parents had the opportunity to share their experience and thoughts.
