Big Sur MacOS update – Don’t Do It…yet

We are still in the testing phase to see what bugs are present for the latest MacOS upgrade and will send out a bulletin announcement in the next month or so once we are confident that it won’t present any issues with our school systems. At the moment, the biggest issue will be that the Adobe products we have are no longer supported meaning that for most of you, Preview will need to be set to default on your computers. More coming soon, but we don’t recommend upgrading just yet.

Thanks,

The NIS IT Department

NIC Christmas Charity Festival – get your tickets ASAP !

Do not forget that NIC will host the 10th Anniversary Christmas Charity Festival here at NIS for NIS Community members only this  Saturday, 5th December from 4-6pm.

Tickets available from Sue in Admissions and before school in the Centre Foyer.

NIC Members Free – but you MUST have a ticket.

Non NIC Members  : Adults RMB 100/school age children RMB 50 /under 3’s FOC

Tickets are strictly limited to 500 and when they are gone – they’re gone.

Like everything this year it  will feel a bit different. It is not seated and in the absence of the RFG Christmas Market we hope we can re-create a festive market feel with food and drink, gifts, merchandise, student produced cards and much, much more.

Santa will be welcoming children in the Black Box, there will be musical entertainment and some good old singalongs!

Amy K is constructing her famous, fabulous gingerbread houses which will be raffled off on the night.

Please wear your NIS ID and follow the well rehearsed rules for safety on campus.

All proceeds go to our nominated charities.
