Grade 10 Funfair – One week to go!
Only one week to go before the G10 funfair opens for business.
Please support the learning of our Grade 10 students by taking part in this fun-filled event. Grade 10 have been working hard to create a morning of thrills and excitement for NIS students (G1-11).
Past G10 businesses have helped to raise nearly $3000 for Kiva.org and over the past five years G10 Humanities students have lent almost $10,000 to improve the lives of over 350 borrowers in 65 countries worldwide.

PYP Exhibition
Yesterday the G5 students presented their assembly 3 times and spent the evening sharing their learning with their parents. It was a very successful evening! Thank you to all involved!
You have an opportunity to see the projects today! The PYPX provides our community with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the transition of our oldest PYP learners to the next phase of their education. Please come and celebrate with us!
PYP Exhibition Morning – K2-G10 Here is the schedule:
Mushroom safety
It might be interesting to see mushrooms grow in the NIS grass after the rain. For your safety, do not touch or eat wild mushrooms. If you do touch a mushroom, wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. If you for some reason put a wild mushroom at school, see the nurse right away.
