Prepare Laptops for ISA testing

ISA testing will begin next week. English teachers will be guiding students through this process.

We ask all students to make sure their Chrome browser is updated to the latest version. During Monday’s Advisory time, all students should be checking and updating their Chrome browser if needed. Ms. Cindy and Dr. Doake have prepared a video tutorial to help with this.

Many thanks to advisors for your support.

Service as Action

Dear Staff and Students

Today our Service as Action block will be an extended session (Advisory and Block 3).

This session will be a great opportunity to start thinking about Earth Week and how your group will be able to share with the community what that have learnt throughout their project.

New Students – you will notice you have a blank spot on your timetable in Block 3 today: this is where our Service as Action class occurs. To help you join a project, please meet me in LGR3 in the Hub at 10:30am and I will share some important information about Service as Action at NIS.

Have a great day!
