如果中文是你的母语就看下面吧。
We are looking for a native Chinese speaker to help interpret for drama sessions on Wednesdays (3.30-5.00) for the next 5 or 6 weeks. There will be a group of NIS students and 2 groups of students from other schools here practising a play – but we need someone to interpret! 你愿意不愿意帮助我们？两个人也可以。This could be a Service and / or creativity activity. 如果你愿意的话请跟我联系吧。

There are still a few vacancies for students to join the local school English tutoring group who will go to the Middle School next door and give some informal English tuition. I expect we will start (the Wednesday) visits in about two weeks. Please email me if you would like to join or simply sign up on the C&S / CAS signup link.

Grade 11? Thinking of applying to the US to study?

Any other grade, considering the USA?

Put Monday October 19th in your iCal, Diary, agenda NOW.

At 9.00am, we have Boston University coming to visit (in my office). If you want to come along, you’ll need to get yourself excused from class and email me ahead of time.

At 10.40, in the MYP LGR, we have 6 US colleges setting up a mini-fair (as last year). These are:

Widener University, Western New England University,  College of Saint Benedict/ Saint John’s University, University of La Verne,  Northern Kentucky University, Loyola University Chicago

If you are thinking, ‘I’ve never heard of them, why should I bother?’ STOP thinking that, this instant! Having never heard of them is a good reason for coming – you are going to learn something new. In addition, they will all have something to say generically about the US application process. In short, if you are thinking of applying to the US, you should definitely be coming to this event.

After break, I will be asking the reps to present on The College Essay, Scholarships for International Students and Living and Studying in the USA. These mini-seminars will eat into the first half of Block 3, so please make sure you have permission from your teacher to be absent.

A reminder that there is a whole cast read through today straight after school. During this time you will receive scripts, rehearsal schedule and other information. Please do not be late.

3:15 start – Black Box.

This week’s bell is “Waiting for Love,” submitted by both Mello and Synder advisories – two groups with great tastes. “Waiting for Love” was produced by Avicii (Tim Burgling), a Swedish DJ, remixer, and music producer. A 2015, this song is sung by Simon Alfred and is about a dog searching for its lost owner during a war.

To find out when your bell will be played, go to Office365.

Good morning,

During MYP/DP Advisory this morning, please review this summary about access to NIS campus.                        I am happy to meet with students to clarify any questions.

Thank you,

Mrs Tyoschin

PYP Assemblies:

If your grade level wishes to use the theatre for practice please email me to arrange a time well in advance. This is to avoid any disappointment as the theatre does get extremely busy at certain times during the year!

We are now in the month of September and the school bell schedule has been set. You can find out when your class’ bell will be through the Office365 link.
