The academic year ends with a whole-school water fight between teachers and students? What’s that all about?
At Island Pacific School, we take middle school education seriously—very seriously. We’re intentional about shaping thoughtful, capable, and resilient students. But here’s the thing: it’s still middle school. And middle school should be fun.
The academic year is long and challenging. Teachers push students to think harder, write better, and refine their ideas. Along the way, there are late assignments, tough feedback, and moments of frustration. Growth isn’t always easy. By the time June rolls around, students and teachers alike have earned something special—a chance to let loose before Masterworks week, the final kayak trip, and Rites of Passage.
Enter Battle of the Hill—our legendary, no-holds-barred, whole-school water fight. The teachers build a fort in the back field, arm themselves, and prepare for battle. The entire student body takes them on. The outcome? Let’s just say history is not on the teachers’ side.
Because at Island Pacific School, we believe in working hard, thinking deeply, and striving for excellence. But we also believe in joy. And sometimes, joy looks like drenching your teachers in a well-earned victory.
