Hello all G7-12 Students,

This summer we cleared out all the left items from the lockers, if you have lost anything from your former lockers, you can come to my office Room D231 to collect. Please be noted all the items will be cleaned away by the end of this Friday August 19th.

 

No MYP Music Clubs

The music clubs will start from next week. This week, I will be choosing and preparing repertoire. If you need to audition, then please come see me sometime during break or lunch. If you are part of the advanced orchestra, and are in grade 12, please email to let me know whether you will be joining, and if so for how long (e.g. just one semester?)

MYP/DP Assembly Today at 2:29pm!

Hello All Grade 6-12 Students and Teachers,

Thanks for a great first day of school yesterday! Today we will have a Welcome Back assembly in the PAC beginning at 2:29pm sharp. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Please be on time! This means you need to leave your Block 5 class at 2:24pm. Your teachers know, but feel free to (kindly and politely) remind them. 🙂
  2. We’ll sit in advisories. This will be good practice for the future. Returning students, help those new to your advisory (like maybe tell then where to sit right now!)
  3. Don’t bring your bags. 300 backpacks in the PAC foyer is NOT going to work. You will be dismissed at 2:55pm to head back to class and get your things.
  4. Thanks and see you then!

Duties

Dear All

Duties start today. Attached is the duty schedule for the first semester. I understand this has been shared quite late and you might want to swap your duty. This is still possible of course, please email me and the person you are swapping with and clearly let me know the swap. Returning staff most of you on are two duties, returning TA’s you are on only one duty. New members of staff and new TAs you do not have duties this semester. The names of the duties have changed slightly but I hope are clearer (thanks Marina for your input on this). Please make sure you familiarise yourself with the medical alerts for students (in the staff lounge bulletin board).
