Climate Change Survey

Dear teachers and students,

The Grade 12 Environmental Systems and Societies students are conducting a 10-minute face-to-face survey with selected students and teachers. We thank you in advance for taking the time to be interviewed. The interviewers will make sure data collected remains anonymous. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Mr Mello (luizmello@nanjing-school.com).

Thank you!

JAKARTA UPDATE

Last week, you might recall, we sent cards of support to the cleaners at JIS who are in prison convicted of a crime which did not happen. Since then, teachers Neil Bantleman and Ferdi Tjeong, who were acquitted of the same crime some months ago, had their acquittal overruled. Neil and Ferdi are now back in prison. CANADIANS, if you would like to take action, attached is a link to a letter which Neil’s brother Guy suggests that you might use (whole or in part or as basis for your own letter) to your Member of Parliament. Please ask me for any other details… Thanks! Lindy Buckley
