Can all classes be seated in the PAC, ready for our assembly to begin at 8.10am.
Please send all performers and MCs to the PAC at 8am.
At the end of the assembly we will announce a PAC evacuation. The alarm will sound and all classes and parents should move quietly through the nearest exit door and line up on the track (in the same lines as the emergency evacuation) and wait until asked to return to class. Teachers do not need to take attendance during this evacuation.
Please note that Library services will be on paused for 2 days, September 2nd to 3rd, 2024 to allow time for our librarians to focus on organizing the library resources. This means that there are no library classes or library checkouts on these two days. The Hub space IS open and can still be used during breaks and for teachers to bring their classes.
Library services will resume again on Wednesday September 4th, 2024.
Many thanks for your support.
Ms. Chow

Dear Colleagues
A professional learning opportunity has opened up for two staff to assist with hosting a Peer Sphere conference that will be held here at NIS in October.
NIS is hosting this professional learning community event which is participant-driven, focusing on gathering to connect in-person, share practices, and explore common professional inquiries.
The opportunity is to take on the role of ‘facilitator’ and help direct the discussion in one of the breakout spaces. The event is focusing on Student Agency, and we are seeking facilitators for the break-out room topics of ‘Standards meets Student Agency’ and ‘Technology for Choice’. We can though, be very flexible and change the topic to anything related to Student Agency that you are interested in.
Your role is simply to guide the conversation in the room for the one-hour breakout session. You do not need to prepare a presentation or be an expert on the topic. You are there to get people talking and delve into the learning yourself.
The event is on October 19 from 12 until 4:30pm. For my information, please see the event website.
Andrew and I will be there to lead the event, along with the Peer Sphere staff, so you will be well supported throughout. If you are interested in this opportunity, please send me an email or come and have a chat.
Hello wonderful community,
If you have a ball that looks like this lying around in your classroom, please can you return it to the PE office for an alternative ball.
These belong to the NIFC community activity and they are missing quite a few.
Thank you in advance for your support of this.
Wishing you a wonderful day.

We will contact any parent who has not signed up today to encourage them to do so. If you have already, or would prefer to do this yourself, please let me know
