We notice…

Hello MYP/DP Learners,

Ever wonder if your teachers notice all the great stuff you do in relation to the Learner Profile???

Well, we do! Check out the posters outside the MYP LGR from an activity teachers completed last week, focused on evidence of the Learner Profile in action around campus.

Keep doing the right things for the right reasons! We are proud of you!

Accidental Theatre Audition

Calling all Grade 9 – 12 actors!

Auditions will take place in the Black Box during lunch time on Wednesday 9th March and Thursday 10th March.

Contact Ms Runte or Mr Brown for an audition extract and further information!!!

Cards for JIS Cleaners – Please sign to show your support

On Tuesday I will be flying to Jakarta – this provides us with an opportunity to get a message delivered from NIS to the cleaners still in custody in the JIS case.  I will be taking a small gift (an NIS lion) and a card for each cleaner and will give them to a JIS staff member to pass on.

There are 6 cards in the staffroom. Please take the time today to write a brief message of support in each card, or just sign your name.

There is a post-it note in each card with the cleaner’s name.

Please note that one card is the for the family of Azwar, who died while in police custody. I have also indicated this on a post-it note in case you wish to adapt your message.

I will collect the cards on Monday afternoon.

Thanks in advance.

Weekly Bulletin – important change to the way content is submitted

Dear All,

CHANGE TO SUBMISSION OF WEEKLY BULLETIN MATERIAL – new distinction between NEWS and POSTER

From this Week 23 – Monday 22nd February, all material for our Weekly Bulletin will be submitted via the Daily Bulletin using the box in the top right hand corner : News or Poster

The deadline for submission will remain the same : 12 noon on Wednesday.
The main difference you will notice is that there are two options : News or Poster. Instructions on each are contained in the drop down box.
The poster part relates to the long rectangular plastic banners on stands that are produced by Ann Dong in Purchasing. We want to eliminate these from our school as they cannot be recycled, they are cumbersome, costly and tend to “breed” at certain times of the school year. It is not the sports review posters etc that form part of the bulletin – those will stay the same for the time being, although we are also looking at how to make our Weekly Bulletin more user friendly and interface more effectively with our website.
These posters will now appear on one of the new hi tec touch screens currently in the Centre Foyer. The deadline will also be noon on Wednesday and they will appear on the website and the screen on the same cycle as the Weekly Bulletin ie Friday afternoon.
There is sometimes a problem with the size of these posters particularly if they contain photos. Please seek assistance from ICT on how to compress, as we will no longer be using the server as a back up.

If you are involved with one of the school charities this will also apply to the banners produced for display in school.
We will be reviewing this new process and welcome your comments and suggestions.

If you need further clarification please ask Brian or Sue in Admissions.

Thanks for your support as we continue to review the quality of the information we provide to our Community and improve our green credentials.
