G10/11 Service: Feel the urge to “Burst the Bubble”?
Have you heard of the phrase “Burst the Bubble”? Well, for many of us we do indeed live in a type of bubble not knowing much about what goes on in the outside community. But all is not lost as there are ways of getting outside the bubble or at least being able to see a little of what is happening outside. One way that I found useful was to photograph signs, pictures, graffiti etc. See document: StreetArtSigns This provided me with the chance to learn a little more about Chinese culture and language. Next year I would like to set up a small group of G10 and 11 students to do this regularly during the year and publicise in school bulletin and on screens. Please have a think about it! If you aren’t sure then you are welcome to take some snaps, translate and format into a doc like the one attached as a Service activity for this year.
MYP / DP Students – Having trouble fulfilling your Service requirements?
Are you an MYP student (or DP G11) and having the Service Blues? Not enough Service activities coming your way via the daily bulletin? Helping at ……… not your piece of cake? Had a enough of being a helper / follower for various causes? Don’t want to simply wander the pavement picking up trash! Well, it is your lucky day because there are other ways of doing Service. Have a look at the attached document to see various options of doing service – you are welcome to do any of these, for any activity or cause. In fact, it is a great idea to all these various kinds of Service during your MYP / DP programmes. Stop waiting for your Service opportunity to fall from the sky or come via the daily bulletin – take hold of your own Service experience and have a fresh look at how to do Service. TypesofService
Inter-house Theatresports…could be a decisive contest!!

MYP/DP Athletics Day correction
After a recount of the scores, there was a change in the 2nd and 3rd place teams. By an incredibly close, 3 points, Wutaishan has nicked the 2nd place spot from Taiping. The new scores means that the race for the House Shield has got even closer with only 20 points separating 1st and 3rd place teams!!
Inter House Theatre Sports will run on Tuesday and Thursday next week. Speak to Ms Philip if you would like to take part
Here are the current scores:
