After October break, Upper School students will have the option to dine in either the Centre Cafe or the cafeteria.
The option to lunch off-campus (Grade 11 and 12) remains unavailable for the time being.
Students in Grades 6- 10; an exciting new Service as Action group is about to start. It is Rubbish! Our new group is called ‘Talking Trash’ and is focused on UN GOAL 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. This group will meet with the Facilities Team to discuss ways to separate waste around school using different containers for such things as plastic or paper or metal. They will take Action by helping to set up a different way to collect our waste in school.
If you are in a group and are looking for a change to something different, or your project is coming to an end, this could be for you. If you join you are committing for at least the rest of this semester. Limited places…get your names to Mrs Clarke asap. Don’t waste time…

In case you missed the PD announcement:
#PUBpdASIA was built around the idea of the BarCamp – “an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment” (barcamp.org) – like what happens during the after-hours of a conference. With #PUBpdASIA, the idea is that educators around Asia will gather at local watering holes where they’ll post their discussions on a shared topic with the larger educator network via Twitter. In order to gauge interest and see how many seats we should book with Harry from Potato, please fill in this form with a simple YES or NO by this Sunday, 1500. Those colleagues still overseas, please join from the comfort of wherever you are sheltering, and bring your beverage of choice and have your Tweets ready.
The first one for 2020-21 is on Tuesday, September 29th and the topic will be:
We hope to see you there!

Good morning, all X-Blockers.
Here are the key points for today.

Grade 6 & 8 Kitchen X-Blockers please check in with Ms Cynthia in the design centre as Mr Snyder is supervising MAP.
All other grades 6 & 8 move quickly and quietly to your assigned locations at the end of break. If you have an off-campus mentor make sure you log onto Teams as soon as you have checked in with the room supervisor.
All students remember to discuss your ATL grades with your mentor TODAY. Happy X-Blocking!
Hello Again Grade 7 MAP Masters,
Your READING MAP test is happening today, starting Block Three in the LGR.
Here’s how it works:
-Everyone stays in the LGR for Block Three to the end (like last time), regardless if you are finished or not (so take your time…)
-At the end of Block Three, those that have finished the test go to Block Four. Everyone else continues testing (so take your time…).
-At the end of Block Four, those that are still testing will go to lunch and finish the test at a later date (so take your time!).
Give this test your best!
Ps. Grade 6, you are up tomorrow, so get some good sleep tonight!
The exciting new NIS Moveathon (on the calendar for September 30th) will be rescheduled later in the school year to give our student-led organizing team more time to prepare. This day will run as normal.
Please stay tuned for more information from the Moveathon Masters. Thanks!
