Attached is the list of students attending the ACAMIS Speech and Debate competition at BWYA in Beijing (8 – 9th December).
We will be leaving at 1pm on December 8th, and students will miss block 5.
This will have no impact on students’ exams.
Thanks,
Trina and Katie

Dear MS & US students,
Questions about X-Block and Life Skills 101 will be asked by your advisory liaison this week. If s/he is absent, tell your advisor who will email your opinions and suggestions to Hibah.
Please don’t hesitate to make suggestions and tell us what you need or want to change.

A special surprise awaits 10 lucky winners who attend the performance of ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’!
That’s right…5 audience members each night will win their own Golden Ticket and a sweet surprise awaits them.
On Wednesday 12:00 to 12:45, Grade 5 students will share family histories with parents. However – we did not realise that NIC Bazaar is on tomorrow so there are a few students who won’t have parents visiting. If any teachers are free for any parts of that 45 minutes and like to visit, they will be most welcome!
Dear Teachers:
Please note that there has been a recent confirmed case of Chicken Pox (Varicella) in Middle School.
Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by a virus. It causes a blister-like rash, itching, tiredness and fever. It can be especially serious in babies, adults, and people with weakened immune systems. More detailed information please find https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/index.html
If you or anyone in your household has symptoms that look like Chicken Pox:
● Contact your regular health care provider immediately
● If you have Chicken Pox, stay at home until the lesions have scabbed over
● Check to see if anyone in your home may need to be vaccinated
● All suspected cases should be reported to me.
If you hear of any students who have Chicken Pox, please inform me immediately.
Thank you,

Hello XPeople,
We will have a Super Session tomorrow in the PAC during Block 3!
Please report DIRECTLY to the PAC at the start of Block 3 tomorrow with a CHARGED LAPTOP and ANY materials you need to work.
We will split the time between a targeted creation session and some X-citing guided reflection.
See you there!
Tickets went on sale yesterday and already a quarter have gone! Buy your tickets for this show while you still can!!
Available from the Centre Foyer before/after school and the cashier during opening hours.
My students and I have found OneNote to be a very useful learning and collaboration platform. It can do so much more than reduce your paper usage!
If you’d like to know more about what OneNote can do for your classroom, or how to set up and manage a Class Notebook, I’d be more than happy to run a workshop with interested colleagues.
Please fill out this very short survey to help me tailor a workshop and I’ll get back to you.
Here’s a link to the survey, incase the embeded version below does not work.
