This year there is a new theatre project involving an exchange between students from NIS and 2 local schools in Nanjing. There will be weekly rehearsals and the project will culminate in a performance in a professional theatre venue in Nanjing.
If you are in grade 6-9, and this sounds interesting to you please email me and I can give you more infomation
Thanks

Performers beware!
The next MYP/DP Production is scheduled for November!
We are excited to announce that the production will be Scrooge! and is to be staged in a creative and unique way….
ANYONE in Grade 6-12 interested in performing in this year’s production is welcome to attend an audition. You do not need to be studying Drama…you do not need any previous experience…you only need the desire to perform.
Audition dates/time: Wednesday 26th August and Thursday 27th August lunch in the Theatre. Call backs Friday 28th and Monday 31 August lunch.
Please see Mr Brown or Ms Philip in the Black Box for an audition piece and further information.
I am looking for 2 more MYP/DP students for the Theatre Tech Crew. The work includes lighting, sound and video projection. We are intrinsic to all theatre events including assemblies, school events, productions, dances, etc.
The right person will show flexibility, dedication, willingness to learn and an appreciation for quality and detail. Previous experience is not a necessity.
Interested? Please come to the Black Box Thursday lunch 1:00pm.
Email Mr Brown if you have any queries.
Only four homerooms have successfully submitted their school bells (not counting the homeroom who dropped off an unknown file onto the server). I’m sure KD and Mr. Mello will be very excited about this news, as I’ve promised they can submit additional bells if no one else does — thus far, Mr. Mello has already submitted 3 bells! Bells are starting next week, with Mr. Coad’s advisory bell from “Aero Chord.” Which advisory/homeroom will be next? I don’t know, but I’m desperately hoping other bells will be submitted, especially since my advisory has voted for “Seven Nation Army.”
Please drop bells into: Studentlargestorage / Music / School Bells.
Name them as: Advisory – Song – Artist.mp3
Please have NO metronome ticking in the background and ensure your music is between 15 and 20 seconds.
Last year, we tried to involve every homeroom in the Eco Team, and it didn’t work out so well. This year we would like to invite any members of Grade 3 to 12 and staff, who care about what happens to our planet and are interested in taking action to ensure we are being as green as we can be at NIS. We will have occasional whole-committee meetings, usually at lunchtime, and sub-committee meetings, also at lunchtime. We need people to help plan an exciting programme of eco-events this year, as well as planning and organising the Earth Hour event in March. Email me if you are interested. First meeting Wednesday 2nd September during lunchtime. Watch out for further information.
There are still available seats for afternoon activities like Chinese, Pilates, Yoga etc.
Please also sign up for evening and weekend activities like Golden Balls, Touch Rugby, Badminton, Basketball, Crossfit….
Let’s move…
Dear all, there will be an Evacuation Drill on Thursday 27 August, 2015@11.30am as scheduled for whole school.
Thanks/Myra
Don’t put ELL/English B students on the spot by asking them to participate (e.g., give an answer in front of the rest of the class) before they are ready. Have other students model what is required before asking an ELL/English B student so that they do not feel threatened.
Today will be another session about the ePortfolio iPad session – SEESAW!
It will be very similar to Tuesday’s session, so there is no need to come again (unless you really want to).
Sessions are held in the Strategy Room (C115), starting at the beginning of Lunch (12:50), and running for about 30 minutes.
Thursday, August 20 – iPads – Seesaw – Tom
Friday, August 21 – Organizing your life with OneNote – Emily

If you have not yet signed up for one of the many sports started in the first few weeks of school there is still time.

Already started we have Cross Country, ACAMIS Volleyball, Swimming and CISSA Touch Rugby.
Check the Athletics noticeboard for the times and days of these practices and sign up on Veracross.
Please login to veracross and check your schedule. If you see any blanks (besides Likeskills 101) you have a schedule problem, please come and see me.
G11-12 you should have three HL and three SL courses this is crucial for your transcript. Please check that as well.
We think it is fantastic that our students want to practice and play their sports outside of the scheduled practice times. However, we would really appreciate it if you could do this outside in the field when you do not have adult supervision. There is lots of space!! It is for safety reasons that we cannot allow students to practice in the gym unsupervised. This applies to before school, break-times, after school and at weekends.
Hello All,
You should find a sweetie in your pigeon hole this morning as a SMALL token of thanks for your extra efforts, can-do attitude, and mental gymnastics required to facilitate our first-ever Parent-Led Conferences. They are much appreciated!
The taste of the chocolate will be temporary, but the impact your efforts make on our students’ well-being are forever. Thanks and enjoy!
