Light and Micro Worlds: 5B & 5D project
This photography project is an extension of our Science studies on Light and Micro worlds:
- How is a camera similar to our eyes?
- What is the relation between light and our sense of sight?
- Why do ordinary objects become extra-ordinary when viewed in a closer perspective?
Pupils from 5B and 5D took a crash course in photography under Ms. Sylvester learning about the different genres, the importance of light and the Rule of Thirds. What was initially planned for a week of lessons on macro photography extended to food, action and portraits. All pictures were taken using a digital camera. We hope that you see a story behind each photo and that you enjoy our exhibit as much as we enjoyed the process in making them.

Safer Internet Day
A Message from NMS Head of IT Department, Annemieke Akkermans
Banning mobile phones in school?
February 6th was Safer Internet Day – why not spend five minutes on this topic and give your feedback below.
Ten years ago, pro-tech teachers like myself were mostly advocating the use of mobile phones in school. Our students grew up in an online world, only to go off the grid the minute they entered the school building.
Mobile technology, high-speed Internet and smart phones enabled BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and brought online research, digital presentation and collaborative working through cloud computing into the classroom. We teachers tried to get our head around social media, cyberbullying and data protection issues. Our school created social media and cyberbullying guidelines, a mobile phone policy and an acceptable use policy for ICT, organised round table discussions, presentations and workshops for students, teachers and parents on these topics.

Addiction prevention program at NMS Secondary
The secondary educators work closely with the students to address issues related to addiction and safe media use. The educators are in regular contact with the school management, parent committees, local support organisations and the Berlin Police.
If problems are identified, support and information about where to get help are offered to the students and parents concerned.
If you have any individual questions or concerns, please request an appointment with one of the secondary educators. You can reach them by phone or e-mail.
Here is an overview of the topics covered by the prevention program for the 2017/2018 school year.
