Grade 6-9 assembly 8:00-8:30am: Report directly to the PAC BY 8:00am. Teachers, please head to the PAC to take attendance, then head back to class. Students only! At 8:30, students will head back to class.
Grades 10-12 assembly 8:40-9:10am: Report directly to class in the morning, then head to the PAC at 8:30am for an 8:40 start.
Thanks for your flexibility and see you then!
Avoid complex syntax in question prompts. Use simple sentences and separate out the actual task from the illustrative detail. For example, the second of these prompts is probably more readily understood than the first:
Explain why metals expand when they get warmer and contract when they get cooler, whereas water does the opposite.
Metals expand when they get warmer and contract when they get cooler. Water does the opposite. Explain why.

G6-8 students should be recording their C&S activities and reflections on the C&S record sheet given to Advisory teachers at the start of the year.
G9-12 students should be recording their C&S / CAS activities in Managebac. All students have been sent log in details. Please come and see me if you do not have these.
All students should show evidence of meeting the C&S / CAS outcomes in their reflections.
About a month ago the signups for this event was accidentally opened early and we had many students signup – far too many. To rectify this I deleted everyone who signed up early and reopened them a week or so ago. They are now full. Please check to make sure if you are indeed signed up for this activity on Nov 28th. If you originally signed up for these and weren’t able to resign you are welcome to contact me to discuss this. Sorry for any inconvenience.
An outstanding competition yesterday lunchtime with the Grade 6 – 8 Soccer teams battling it out. In the end nothing could separate the teams from Taiping and Wutaishan and so they shared the 1st place points. Congratulations to all teams on some great performances. This leaves the House Shield competition with the following scores:
Have students create their own examples when trying to understand and remember a general concept. This not only helps students remember the concept better, but also helps them check their own understanding.
This message is for the people that signed up to help during the 3 days of tournament play NOT for the Friday evening event (that is something separate and only for Grade 10-12), there was some confusion yesterday.
A friendly reminder that we have a meeting TODAY (Friday 6th November) at lunchtime (1pm) in the blue gym. It is extremely important that EVERYONE attends. If you do not attend or do not let me know that you are unable to attend, you will be replaced on the list.
Please bring your MacBooks with you.
Thanks! See you at lunch!
