Pfrang Giving Tree Cards

Teachers, Students, and Parents

If you haven’t seen us in the Centre Foyer each morning, the Pfrang Association and the Pfrang Student Service Group have been set up selling Giving Tree cards this week. We will continue until all 270 cards have been sold, decorated and returned. If you are wondering what the Giving Tree is, it’s a Pfrang initiative in which we sell a card to someone LIKE YOU for 100rmb. You write an inspirational or festive message on the card that is addressed to one of the students the Pfrang Association supports. Stickers/drawings/other decorations are encouraged. With the 100rmb, we will purchase a school bag and fill it with items that the supported student could use while living in the school dormitories. We will then connect your card to their bag and give them together so that the student can see and feel the support given by the Nanjing International School community.

When you buy a card, you will notice that someone will write the name of your Homeroom/Advisory teacher next to your name. This is because, as an incentive, we are offering the Primary Homeroom and the Secondary Advisory that buy the most cards a donated PIZZA PARTY. So please, stop by the Pfrang table while walking in to school and pick one, two, or more Giving Tree cards.

Swimming pool office: updated guidelines

Dear NIS community member,

To improve our student safety protocols, we are implementing new guidlines around the swimming pool office.

Students (PK-G10) can only visit the office before and after school. All students are advised to stay on school campus during the day and should not use the glass gates unsupervised. The swimmig pool office is located outside of this boundary, so it is only available for a visit before or after school.

When students (PK-G10) have a swimming class, the pool and the pool office can only be entered using the changing rooms. Students can’t enter the pool through the aquatics office.
If a student needs to borrow any type of equipment, they first need to go through the changing room, take off their shoes and socks and come to the office next to the learner pool.

Parents and G11&G12 students can visit the office during working hours.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
