Hello Grade 7-12 students,

On Tuesday during your normally scheduled Life 101 Block (tomorrow) our All-Star Compass student squad and members of our ever-committed teacher Strategy Team will be working with you to get your opinion on life at NIS. This will happen at the same Block and in the same place as your usually go. Please bring along a charged laptop and be prepared to get involved and help direct the future of our school. Let’s here it!

Very many thanks to all those who helped out in so many different ways to make Pfrang Day another success. These include:

Skyways for the amazing BBQ

Wendy Huang and the facilities team

Chartwells

Amy Keus, Heidi Dean and all the amazing musicians

Anna Yuen for the wonderful photos

The Student Council

Nick McBride for the bouncy castle

Simon Northcott for the golf

Many teacher and parent volunteers

Raffles for first aid provision

And all of you who attended, ensuring that the Pfrang Association can continue to help educate over 280 children, in memory of the Pfrang family.

With thanks (and apologies for anyone I’ve missed) on behalf of the grateful Pfrang students.

Good morning and Happy Friday!

On Tuesday/Wednesday, Apple made its latest operating system upgrade – MacOS Sierra – available for free download on the App store. (For a breakdown of all the features, check out this review by CNET). First of all, please know that you do not need to upgrade your computers, unless you choose to do so. As with all new OS installs, we have noticed a couple of errors that may impact the way you do things on the computer, including one that affects your usage of Microsoft Office 365 client applications(i.e. MS Word, PPT, Excel, etc. on your computer), though this is inconsistent and more testing is needed. While there is no impact on printing, we (the IT Department) recommend waiting to upgrade your system until these “kinks” are worked out. In the meantime, if you do choose to install the new OS, please have a look at this article on some of the most common problems experienced by early adopters. As always, we are here to support you in C135 and C136 with any issues you may have! – Your Friendly IT Department

Both Green and Blue Gyms will be closed during the National Day Holidays. The lines in both gyms will be repainted.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Wayne Liu
