IMPROVING OUR GREEN CREDENTIALS HERE AT NIS
Following on from an initiative from the Nanjing Municipal Government, NIS will be reviewing and improving its own waste disposal procedures.
Initially as a first phase, all black plastic waste bags currently lining our bins in offices in the Centre will be removed, and the bins will be used for dry waste only.
In designated areas on each floor of the Centre there will be bins for other types of waste.
Please click on the link for more information on the different types of waste classification.
Please click here for the Chinese Version.
There will be additional information available throughout the Centre
Your support is appreciated as we work hard to provide a more sustainable environment for our Community and our friends and neighbours here in Xianlin

ACAMIS Chinese New Year Cards Challenge
It is once again time to celebrate the new year in China! Students of all ages from ACAMIS member schools are invited to participate.
This is not a competition, it is an opportunity for students to design something with a specific purpose and learn from the process.
A top selection will be selected from each division of the school (Primary, Middle, Secondary) and will be displayed on the ACAMIS Homepage. They will also be included in the upcoming ACAMIS in Action Newsletter to be share with all member schools.
For grades 10 and 11, this could count as a Creativity Experience for CAS!
Here is how to participate:
1. Open to all grades and classes (not just art!) from K-12.
2. Participating schools will select a single submission for up to three grade levels (Primary, Middle, and Secondary).
3. Submissions should be medium resolution for digital viewing (around 120 ppi).
4. Submissions should be in either jpeg or pdf format.
5. No student or school names should appear in the greeting card.
6. Please include the words: “ACAMIS” and a positive, new year greeting in the design.
7. Upload artwork via this Padlet link:

Students…Break Tomorrow
Hello Superstar Students,
Tomorrow’s Break will last from 10:05am-10:30am. An FYI that the football pitch, bamboo forest, and gaming room will be closed. Thanks for your help with this. Also, a reminder that school finishes at 11:00am tomorrow as well.
The schedule is here as a reminder. Have a great day!
Tomorrow’s Schedule Update
Hello All,
A slight adjustment has been made to tomorrow’s schedule out of respect for the annual anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre. The plan is to delay the break until approximately 10:05am, after the symbolic air raid siren at 10:01am concludes. Please keep students in class until the siren finishes sounding. At that point students are welcome to go to break and teachers are invited to the staff lounge for some last-school-day-of-2019 treats. Our leadership team will cover break-time teaching.
Also of note is that the only NIS “bells” that will sound tomorrow should be the 7:55am “get to class!” bell and the 11:00am dismissal. Beyond that it will be up to all of us to help students move between Homerooms/Advisories, assemblies, and Break based upon the schedule.
Many thanks for your efforts!
