Secondary Assembly Item Submissions

Do you have something you want to share in an assembly? Maybe some information or a performance? Or perhaps your teacher has bullied you into presenting or performing! In any case, we have a system in place to make our AMAZING assemblies run smoothly…

Anyone wishing to add an item to a Secondary Assembly should kindly read the attached document. Points to highlight:

  • All requests to participate in an assembly should be made through Mr Joyner or Mrs Morrow at least a week in advance
  • All performers/presenters and supervisors must attend a technical rehearsal the Thursday before the assembly 12:30-1:00pm in the PAC
  • All items must be fully prepared and vetted
  • Any digital file must be given to Mr Brown by 12:00pm on the Wednesday prior to the assembly

MSUS Assembly Guidelines

The Performing Arts Centre at NIS – all you need to know!!

Please find attached the PAC Handbook. This is a how-to guide for anyone wishing to use the facility!

If you are stretched for time, or simply can’t be bothered to read the whole document (I won’t be offended) then in a nutshell: contact Mr Brown as far in advance as possible to get your activity/event booked in. Yes, even if your event is Week 38 on 20th June! It’s pretty much a first-come-first-served policy so the more notice the better! You can pop down to the PAC and see me, email me, call me, WeChat me…

The Library is Open for Business!

While we are still unpacking books and everything looks a little crazy the library is officially open! Secondary teachers, feel free to bring your classes by so your students can check out books. It makes things easier for us if they bring their ID card. Students can also check out during lunch and after school. Let me know if you have any questions!

“When can students be on-campus after-school?”

… For officially scheduled and supervised NIS activities or appointments only.

“But I want to hang out and game on the sweet NIS WIFI…” No.

“But I want to throw baseball and play football with my friends…” No.

“But I want to hang in the cafeteria and eat chocolate danishes…” No.

“But I want to sit in the pagoda and vibe…” No.

“But my ride is late…” Wait in the Centre Foyer.

“But I’m in Grade 11/12…” The lounge, cafe, and fitness room are accessible to you for reasonable use. You’re good.

“But I have an ASA…” Awesome! Just do it!

“But it doesn’t start until 4:15pm…” Cool. Wait in the cafeteria or library.

“Can I come to school on the weekend?…” Is it an officially scheduled and supervised NIS activity?

“Yes…” Awesome! Just do it!

“No…” No.

“Why all these rules?” To keep you and everyone else safe and well of course!
