We are seeking a DP Music student or an adult supervisor who can help support the music department sometimes on Mondays during orchestra. This might mean staying in the room and supervising while the kids run sectionals in practice rooms. It may mean working with our Gr10 rehearsal assistant to run the practices. It depends on your comfort level. If you are happy to help, please contact Miss Keus in M252. Thanks.
ACAMIS Kids Read- Rescheduled Meeting- Today
For those students in Grades 6-8 interested in learning more about ACAMIS Kids Read, we will have a brief meeting in the library TODAY at 1:00pm. No commitment is necessary at this point- just come along and find out more about this fun reading competition. Hope to see you there.
Respect for living things and the environment
Please have another word with your students about looking at, but not man-handling, the frogs in our grounds. It is not acceptable to catch them by hand or in plastic bottles; too many are dying.
Please also remind students they are responsible for putting their litter IN THE BIN.
Thank you.

Health at NIS
Good morning,
Yesterday afternoon you will have received an email addressed to parents about typical seasonal gastro-enteritis. ISOS and Raffles have communicated that this is a common illness at this this time of year, and there is no cause for alarm.
In terms of teachers actions at school, please be extra vigilant about reminding students to wash their hands regularly and thoroughly. If you have students who come to school unwell, please send them to the nurse.
Thank you,
Arden
