Month: October 2020

Student Office Hours Grades 6 – 12

And they’re back! Every Monday between 3.15 and 4.15 teachers are in their classrooms ready to help you out.

Do you have a question about an assignment? Do you want help with Extended Essay, Personal Project or an IA? Do you want some extra practice on something you were learning in class? Do you want to discuss any part or piece of your learning? Then Student Office Hours are for you.

What do you do?

You just need to go to the classroom where your teacher is based and they will be available to talk to you and help you out. You don’t need an appointment or to ask if it is OK. How cool is that?

  • Grade 11: Lunch 1 in the café or lunch 2 in the cafeteria

Week 9 – Lunch 1 Blue Gym

Hi MS/US students,

Day 4 – Badminton (Grade 9-12) Volleyball

Day 5 – Indoor Football (All)

This is due to the high demand for space and interest in these activities.

YOU will be responsible in setting up/putting equipment away and looking after everything (some damage has happened recently to badminton racquets)

If this does not work then the blue gym will NOT be available for use by the MS/US students until further notice.

Please support your community with this new arrangement and you are always welcome in the gym to socialise and be physically active.
