Grade 10 Family Meeting with University Counsellor
University Counsellors will be holding family meetings with our Grade 10 students to support them with finalizing their IB DP/HSD subject choices from 13th February to 3rd March. Grade 10 Students are scheduled through Calendly with their assigned counsellor and please be mindful of your individual meeting time. Here is a gentle reminder of your subject choice.
Reasons why you might choose a subject
- Interest and enjoyment of the subject
- Possess an aptitude/ability for the subject
- The types of assessments offered suits your learning style
- Will help you meet your job/career and/or university/college course/program goals.
Most universities and employers expect young people to have studied a broad range of subjects, earned good grades, and been enthusiastic about what they have studied. There are exceptions in University program prerequisite/IB DP/HSD subject requirement. Information about pre-requisites and assumed knowledge for university courses will be discussed with your counsellor during the meeting.
We will look forward to seeing you.
University Counselling team.

Child Protection: Student Name Lists on Daily Bulletin
To the amazing Faculty and Staff of NIS!
I wanted to share some procedural steps regarding posting name lists of students to our Daily Bulletin.
As our Daily Bulletin is a public website, we will need to follow the following guidelines to be compliant with child protection protocols.
- When name lists are shared on the Daily Bulletin, it is better if we don’t include full names.
- If your list does have full names, password-protect the PDF ( See instructions below).
- If a document is shared on Daily Bulletin ensure that it is locked with a password. (see the email I sent earlier for the password to use)
- Please do NOT share this password on the Daily Bulletin.
- Please DO remember this password.
We thank you for your assistance in this important matter.
Instructions
Open Preview and follow the instructions below.
Have a great weekend!
