A drumstick bag has disappeared in the music suite. It contains two pairs of Vic Firth drumsticks. If you have any information, please see Miss Keus (or leave them anonymously on her desk in the music room – Their owner will thank you!). Thanks.
Think back, way back, to when you were 10.
Can you tell a story about a challenge you had when you were about 10 years old? Or a challenge you have now?
We would like to invite you (yes, you) into the Grade 5 classes to tell your story.
Why? To create a culture of sharing. We all have challenges. They may look similar or different to the challenges of others. They may seem small. They may seem big.
How long should my story be? 5 minutes + 5 to 10 minutes of answering questions
When? Next week
The long story: The G5 students are beginning Exhibition where they will be identifying challenges, thinking about how to how people cope with challenges, systematically digging to the root of some challenges and empathising with or working towards changing their mental model of a challenge.
email: Lindybuckley@nanjing-school.com or chat with a Grade 5 teacher.
Creative New Undertakings in 4A
Every Friday in 4A my students are prototyping a day of independent inquiry. We call it “Genius Day.” We are in need of more adults &/or upper level students to come in to make connections, offer guidance, and to mentor the students as they explore their passions. If you are free for 10-15 minutes (or more) on Friday, please stop by C125 and see if a student is engaged with something that you feel a connection with. Below are the types of projects that you might see:
- Instrument Making
- Website/Travel Blog Creation
- Stop Motion Animation
- Cooking
- Storyboarding
- Digital Music Composition (Garageband)
- Event Planning
- Origami Art Installation
- Balsa Wood Airplanes
- Dance Instruction
- Documentary Filmmaking
- Furniture Design
- Cardboard Costume Creation
- Book Binding
- Classical Guitar/House Music Mashup
- Computer Programming (Scratch)
Your time, expertise, and ideas will be much appreciated as we explore this new endeavour.

Where? The PAC
How? Leave your stuff in Extended Advisory and head for the PAC ASAP!
Why? Because we love you.
See you there!

Small Pool Closure
Small Pool is closed from Friday March 4th to Sunday March 13th due to the tile maintenance.
Girls Soccer Season — Players wanted
This message is for girls in grades 8-12.
We are looking for more girls to join our practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:20 to 5:50. Here’s why you should do it:
— It’s a great opportunity to get a second season of soccer if you are in grade 8.
— We are playing in two tournaments: one at NIS (26/3) and Shanghai (14-17/4). This means low cost!
— A former professional women’s coach will join Mr Mello in the planning and delivery of training sessions starting next week.
— You can continue to practice until April even if you are ineligible (grade 8) or not selected for ACAMIS.
We can compromise with other activities, particularly for DP students who may wish to practice only once a week. If interested, please email Mr Mello (luizmello@nanjing-school.com) or go see him in room D204.
Grade 7, 8 and 9 basketball girls needed
The SCISAC girls basketball team is low on numbers and looking for players from Grade 7, 8 and 9. The end of season trip is to Taiwan, which will be fantastic, (although quite expensive at 4000rmb). The subsidy of 1600rmb can be used for this trip if you have not already used it. If you are interested, sign up on veracross and come to the next practice this afternoon or next Monday. If you may be interested but want to know more please speak to Mr Clarke or Mr Hornell or Ms Anna.
Inter House Volleyball is today
A reminder that the Inter-house Volleyball is at first lunch today in the gym!
