Give clear instructions. Number and label the steps in an activity. Reinforce oral instructions for homework and projects with a written outline to help students who may not be able to process oral instruction quickly enough to understand fully.

Grade 9-12 PPP Film Auditions

Hello Students of NIS,
Are you enthusiastic about drama, do you have a hobby in film making or do you just want to be a part of a fun event? Well then the perfect opportunity is coming up.

My name is Kostya Tyoschin and for my PPP I will be creating a short film. I need actors therefore I need a cast and crew. There are five roles and two positions for crew members.

If you are interested in being an actor or crew member please come to the black box at lunch on Tuesday Oct 6th after the holiday to get an extract to audition. The auditions will then be after Trip Week on Oct 19th.

If you have any questions please e-mail me at: kostyatyoschin@nanjing-school.com

C&S / CAS Signups on Veracross

You will notice sometimes the C&S/CAS activities on Veracross have full sign on them. This does not always mean they are full. It may also mean they have not yet opened for registration. Both the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Pfrang Sports Day have not yet opened for registrations. When they do open for signups there will be places available. I expect the Pfrang Day helpers will open at 1.00pm Wed and the Mid Autumn Festival will open after the National Day holiday. I am waiting for confirmation of how many places are available before opening.

Hong Kong Polytechnic University

A reminder that a rep from Hong Kong Poly U will be visiting school on Wednesday this week, from 12pm, in my office. She will have a presentation ready to go for the first half of lunch. If you have urgent individual questions (Grade 12s), excuse yourself from class to come at 12, otherwise come along first half of lunch.
