These are the hot dishes that will be available:

Grilled Beef shank with black pepper sauce or Fish Pie or Chickpeas, onion and cheddar quiche (Vegetarian option).

Welcome staff, teachers to Center cafe!

ACT Calendar Clarification

ACT (Test) will be on April 8, 2017.  The NIS calendar says Sunday, April 2, 2017 – this is incorrect.  If you signed up for the ACT, the test will be Saturday, April 8, 2017.

New Fitness/Pool Sign-in/-out trial

As of Monday, March 27 and through the April break, we will be piloting a new digital sign-in/-out approach with Faculty to access the 3rd Floor Fitness Center and/or Pool.  In the long term, we hope this will replace the current paper and pen method.  All other NIS Community members (including non-faculty and students) are welcome to participate in the trial, though there will be one additional step involved as we have not registered all users yet.  For this reason, we will still have the paper and pen sheet available for you to use as normal. We will be soliciting feedback through a QR Code, to be reviewed after the April holiday.

As of Monday, March 27 and through the April break, we will be piloting a new digital sign-in/-out approach with Faculty to access the 3rd Floor Fitness Center and/or Pool.  In the long term, we hope this will replace the current paper and pen method.  Faculty will need to sign in and out via an iPad at reception with the ID number (omit the first letter) on your NIS ID.  All other staff and community members are welcome to use this approach as well, though there will be one additional step involved as we have not input all the ID numbers yet.  For this reason, we will still have the paper and pen sheet available for non-Faculty community members. We will be soliciting feedback through a QR Code, to be reviewed after the April holiday.
