G6-12 : very short survey
Good morning, Students in Grades 6-12,
On behalf of Student Council and myself, please complete this 2-question survey. The first question asks that you provide 3 words that come to mind when you think of “international-mindedness” at NIS. As a result, we will develop an NIS understanding of this part of our mission.

Please complete the survey today during Advisory.
Thank you,
Student Council and Mrs Tyoschin

RFG Christmas Musicians
The 2nd annual RFG Christmas market will be this upcoming weekend and we are currently seeking musicians to play background music during the festivities. This is a very low-stress event because the audience will be full of holiday cheer and glad-tidings as they are busy buying, eating, and socialising. It’s a great CAS / C&S opportunity; however, you do not need to be a student to perform! This year’s musicians already include:
- guitar / piano duet
- solo lever harp
- choir
Last year, we had:
- 2 rock bands
- solo tenor horn
- saxes & horn trio
If you are interested, then please send a joint email to Mr. Jesse Douma and Miss Amy Keus.
