Hello All, The Social Committee Calendar has been updated.
We will not have an event this week – and there is less frequency of activities.
The updated calendar will be hanging in the staff room.
We would like to highlight the following:
There are still two places available for the First Aid training course on November 12th. The course will result in an internationally recognised certificate from ISOS (see details attached). Please note that if you intend to coach a sport next year you must have an up to date First Aid certificate. See me for more details.
Grade 11 will begin their Extended Essay journey in November! We have a new guide starting this year (attached) with some major changes. If anyone is interested in supervising a student in Grade 11 that has perhaps not supervised in the past, please come and see me. In particular I am looking for someone to supervise Psychology and Economics Extended Essays. guide_extended_essay2018

Last May, you (in a session with our Compass Team) and your Advisors selected three goals for our Advisory program. Now, at the end of Quarter One, we’d like your feedback. Please complete this short, but important 4-question survey today or tomorrow. Thanks!

Game Day!
Come to the Game Room during the first half of lunch to play some AWESOME games! All teachers and grade 6-12 students are invited.
If you are interested in looking at the MAP data for your students you can ‘view reports’ on the login portal. For advice about what is available and how to use it there are also video tutorials when you login: MAP essentials online training which are short and sweet and very helpful. In addition the NWEA website has loads of information about how to use the data. More to come…
The library is a space used by all of us. In the library we can research, read, or do some work. However MYP students are abusing this space and are using it to hangout during first half of lunch. This becomes critical in days like yesterday when it is raining outside. If it is raining (or on high pollution days) it is ok to go upstairs in the cafeteria during first half of lunch. Please do not go to the library unless you have some work, reading or research to do. Computer games are not allowed in the library at all, we have a different space in school for this.
G10 in particular are letting us down by leaving the cafe in a terrible state at the end of lunch. A reminder to clean after yourself and remind others to clean after themselves. Visiting the cafe at lunch is a privilege I can easily take away from G10s. You have been warned!
