MYP/DP Athletics Day correction

After a recount of the scores, there was a change in the 2nd and 3rd place teams. By an incredibly close, 3 points, Wutaishan has nicked the 2nd place spot from Taiping.  The new scores means that the race for the House Shield has got even closer with only 20 points separating 1st and 3rd place teams!!

Inter House Theatre Sports will run on Tuesday and Thursday next week. Speak to Ms Philip if you would like to take part

Here are the current scores:

Congratulations to all students who participated in last week’s Athletics Days. Both the PYP and the MYP/DP competitions were exceptionally close. Here are the results:

MYP/DP: 1st – Xuanwu, 2nd – Taiping, 3rd – Wutaishan

There were a total of 24 school records broken on the day – a fantastic achievement!

This means that it is incredibly tight for the House Shield title as we approach the last few events of the year. Here are the current scores:

Lost My Beloved Swiss Army Knife

On Tuesday at lunch I left my Swiss Army Knife on a table upstairs in the cafeteria. If you found it, I would be grateful to have it back. Thank you. Mr. Rinker, Room C128

Music Evening

This year’s Music Evening has been changed to Tuesday, April 26, and will start at 7:00 p.m.

It’s going to be a good mixture of classical and contemporary. For example, we’ll have three orchestras and four rock bands. We’ll also have plenty of soloists and duets, from a grade 5 trio all the way up to grade 9 guitar duets. Some of these events will be teacher-directed, but most of the concert will be pieces that students have put together themselves.

Please come out and support our NIS musicians.
