Thank you for providing the pictures necessary for issuing the Parent ID cards.
During Orientation Day, Primary School parents will be receiving their Parent ID badge from their class teacher and Secondary School Parents will be receiving the Parent ID badge from their Grade Level Leaders.
All parents must wear their VIS ID cards when entering the School premises and on campus. If you do not have a card, then access will be dependent upon providing identification to the security personnel who will issue a Visitor card.
Please note that the photos uploaded on OpenApply will be used for your and your child's ID cards. Where passport photos are unavailable, ID cards will not be issued. Passport style photos should have the following properties: ratio of 3:4, colour, facing forward and showing the head and top of the shoulders only.
Student ID Cards are required when using Public Transport. They are issued once and renewed at the beginning of the year by the Primary Office. Kindly come to the Primary Office for renewal. You will not receive a new one every year. Please look after it.
If your child is new to school, attach a passport-sized photograph with paper-clip to this completed form, and submit it to the Primary Office in a sealed envelope.
If your child has lost their ID, you must report it missing to a Magistrat office (there is a Magistrat office in every district). The Magistrat will issue a Loss Report (“Verlustmeldung”) which you will have to submit to the Primary Office with a passport sized photograph, and a new student ID will be issued for your child.
If your child’s ID has been destroyed, please bring the destroyed ID to the Primary Office along with a new passport size photo, and a new ID will be issued.
If you have changed your address, you will have to apply for a new ID card. Before applying, you will have to update the School with your new address by sending an email to change(at)vis.ac.at. Only after you've requested these changes, you can apply for a new ID card.
All Secondary students are required to carry their Student EDU cards (Grades 6–12). The cards will automatically be processed by the School before a new student starts school, as long as a suitable (passport format) student photo and a Vienna address have been uploaded to OpenApply.
The student photo and EDU card will be used for many purposes in the School i.e. entering the school campus, school canteen, etc., and also as the official student ID for Secondary School students. Students starting throughout the academic year must ensure that the passport photo is uploaded at least 2,5 weeks before their first day of school.
However, if your child has lost their ID, you must report it missing to a Magistrat office (there is a Magistrat in every district). The Magistrat will issue a Loss Report (“Verlustmeldung”) which you will have to submit to the Security Office. If the EDU card is damaged or lost, a replacement fee will be charged.
If you have changed your address you will have to apply for a new ID card. Before applying, you will have to update the School with your new address by sending an email to change(at)vis.ac.at. Only after you have requested these changes you can apply for a new ID card.
Students at Vienna International School are not required to wear an official school uniform, however appropriate clothing for school is expected. Students will dress for school with appropriate consideration and respect for the different cultures and beliefs within our school community. As a learning community, our school is similar to a formal workplace and clothing and shoes should also support the safety requirements of the various areas for learning. Caps or hats for other than religious reasons should not be worn during lessons.
We encourage students to keep reading over the summer holidays. Although it is not mandatory, not only is indulging in a good novel a great pleasure, but it also helps students to maintain their literacy levels over the summer holidays. Please find attached suggested reading lists for the summer holidays. Many of these titles have been enthusiastically recommended by students themselves. Happy summer reading!

Recommended Summer Reading Grade 6 and 7
Reading recommendations from Grade 6 students for Grade 5 students
At our School, we harness learning and teaching technologies to support inquiring, inspired and involved lifelong learners. To ensure this, we are committed to policies and practices which entrust that our community members:
- Are empowered as a learning community to become digitally fluent through safe, balanced and discerning use of digital technologies.
- Will have equitable access to authentic learning experiences through the purposeful use of learning and teaching technologies.
- Are inspired to inquire, invent and solve problems in local and global contexts using digital technologies.
- Are supported in becoming responsible, self-directed and reflective users of technology through ongoing opportunities for personal and professional growth.
- Embrace an open-minded attitude towards working innovatively with digital tools to optimize learning at VIS.
The Connected Learning Programme (CLP) begins with ensuring that all students have access to the right technological tools that are both developmentally appropriate and suitable to the breadth of learning in their area. The table below explains which devices students will access:
- Recommended entry level device - MacBook Air with an English International Keyboard
Families wishing to order a new Macbook can go through our preferred vendor, Tools at Work. We have worked with them to secure a competitive price and level of support.
Please ensure to order your child’s new laptop in a timely manner so that it arrives in time for your child to bring it to school for the New Student Orientation Day on Tuesday, 22 August 2023.
While families can opt for platforms not recommended by VIS, the school strongly advises families to choose Apple for the following reasons:
- Based on the breadth of our curriculum and range of tasks students engage in, applications available through Apple have been most supportive of student learning. Over time, the school has acquired licenses for these applications and shares them with students free of charge through our device management infrastructure, thus eliminating the need for families to find and install the applications themselves.
- Apple’s OS and the applications we use to support the curriculum are generally developmentally more appropriate and intuitive for children across the school.
- Teachers at VIS have built up a knowledge base on how best to use such applications to support learning. Similarly, our IT department has built up the knowledge base and infrastructure to support students on the Mac platform.
- When properly cared for, Mac's function and perform well over a long period of time. Students need a device that will support their learning over many years and, in our experience, Apple’s devices do so with less need for repair, upgrading or replacement.
- Finally, Apple also provides a thorough set of parental controls to help support safer, more sensible and responsible use of the device. Parents can easily administer the device, set controls on apps that can be downloaded, set and monitor web activity, and even control screen time. The school works with families to help set up these controls through workshops and other resources.
Grades 4 & 5: Lockable storage and charging trolleys are available for all students in Grades 4 & 5. Families have the following options when it comes to charging and transportation back and forth between home and school:
- The student can take the device back and forth between home and school on a regular basis. The charging cable will not be installed in the trolley unless the family purchases a second charging cable and requests it to be installed.
- The student can take the device home on weekends and holidays. The charging cable will be installed in the trolley at the beginning of the year and returned at the end of the year.
- The student will not take device home until the end of the year. The charging cable will be installed in the trolley at the beginning of the year and returned at the end of the year.
Grades 6 - 12: Students can store laptops in their lockers when needed, but they are encouraged to bring them home every night and on holidays. Students are expected to charge their devices at home in preparation for the next day’s learning.
Dear Parents,
The Medical Department prepared some medical-related recommendations for you upon your family moving to Vienna.
1) Register your child with a pediatrician, not a GP (General Practitioner). The pediatrician is the first point of contact if your child/ren get sick and need medical treatment/attention. The pediatrician issues medical certificates. confirmation for non-contagious status, physical education excusal notes, and other services.
2) Register the adults in your family with a GP:
- Writes you off sick from work.
- Refers you (if necessary) to a specialist.
- Amongst others offers blood checks, infusions, vaccinations, EKG, prescriptions etc.
- In case you cannot find a pediatrician upon your arrival, the GP offers some basic services for children as well.
When will you need a medical certificate for your child?
- Medical absences for a period of three days or longer must be supported by a doctor’s sick note.
- Regular absence for medical or dental treatment must be supported by written notification from a medical practitioner.
- Communicable disease: If a student is identified with a communicable disease, the School Health Office should be informed immediately. Parents/guardians are advised to provide a doctor’s certificate. Upon the student’s return to school parents/guardians must provide the School Health Office with a doctor’s certificate that the student is no longer contagious.
School Accident - Kindly take note that all student accidents that occur on campus must be reported to the Medical Department immediately. The School must report school accidents to the Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt (AUVA) within 5 days.

All students starting Grade 1 will undertake a physical examination once a year.
If there are any new medical issues or something changes, please contact the Medical Department as soon as possible.
It is the responsibility of parents/guardians to give written permission to the School Health Office for non-prescription and prescription medications that could be taken at school. All medications will be kept in the School Health Office.

VIS was a pioneer amongst international schools in recognizing the importance of additive bilingualism - that is, the continuing development of our students‘ home languages while at the same time learning the school language of English. A large number of research studies show very clearly that bilingualism can increase children’s language abilities and help their progress in school. Both the Primary and Secondary School at VIS are truly international in that the majority of our students speak a language other than English as their first language. Across the School, the Mother Tongue programme has students from Grade Primary - Grade 12 learning in around 30 different languages.
More details in regard to the Mother Tongue Programme and the registration process will be available on the New Student Orientation Day and in the weekly newsletter, as well as school Intranet*.

Some of the big questions when moving to a new country or new school are ‘What is the school like?’ and ‘Who will I know?’ Our students understand what this is like as many have experienced this themselves. The VIS Ambassador programme sets out to make sure your child will have the answer to this question.
In the Primary School, new students are supported in their transition with the help of our Grade 5 Primary Student Ambassadors, Primary School Counselling Team and the Primary School Deputy Principal. We all meet periodically throughout the first 8-10 weeks to check in and hear about how new students are settling in, whether they are making friends, what they are finding enjoyable and challenging, and to remind them of who they can go to for help when needed. If you have any questions about the Primary Student Ambassador support, please email the Primary School Counsellor, Mrs. Laura Stickney at lstickney(at)vis.ac.at and/or Primary School Deputy Principal, Mr. Ben Hacking at bhacking(at)vis.ac.at.
In the Secondary School, new students will be assigned a Homeroom Ambassador on the first day of school. This student will be their key person at VIS as they settle in. They will meet them on the morning of the first full day of school and show them around. The Homeroom Ambassador’s role is to make your child feel part of the school, and to spend time with them while they begin the process of making connections with the students that will eventually become their friends. If you have questions about the VIS Ambassador Programme, please feel free to contact the Secondary School Counsellor, Mrs. Kirsty Hantsch, at khantsch(at)vis.ac.at.
All Secondary School students will be involved in the Activity Week from 11 to 15 September 2023.
Grades 6, 8 and 9 will be away on residential trips from Monday to Friday. These trips involve hiking, team building activities, cultural experiences and more learning activities. Further information will be provided at the start of the school year, as well as at the Parent Information Evenings which are held at the start of the school year.
Grades 7, 10, 11 and 12 will be based in Vienna. All parents will receive more information from the Secondary School, including a detailed schedule for the week nearer the time, as well as during our Parent Information Evenings at the start of the school year.
