Each Advisory now has an assigned row for your convenience in which you MUST sit. Here you will sit in comfort, with your loving advisory-mates on either side of you and happily embedded within your House communities, as you enjoy the good times which are our MS/US assemblies.

Interhouse Music Competition

The interhouse music competition will be held on Sunday, November 26th at Royal Family Garden in Xianlin. It’s exciting, because each house will be performing in front of community members – friends, families, and even strangers! Talk about an authentic musical experience! The chosen song is, “Jingle Bells.” This is quite a challenge because it’s a well-known song and so the audience will have its own versions that it likes, and yet each house will need to come up with its own personal interpretation. Remember, this year you will also be judged on how original your orchestration is. You can achieve up to band 3/4 for a straight transcription, but to achieve the 7/8 band, you’ll need an original arrangement!

If you are interested, please let your team teacher and Miss Keus know, because we’ll need to add you to the student list for the NIS safety protocols.

Good luck!

A few things about Service Activities for G6-9

Doing Service is a great thing. The fact that so many NIS students want to do Service is also a great thing. Here are a few notes that will make a great thing even greater.

– we now use the term ‘Service Learning’ or simply ‘Service’. No more saying Community and Service, that is so old fashion!

– even more old fashion is saying ‘Points’, we don’t use the term points any more we now think about ‘Outcomes’.

– There are seven Service Learning Outcomes. Your Advisory teacher has mentioned them, hasn’t she/he? Ask to see them again!

– Before you do a Service Activity think of which Outcome you will be able to achieve by doing it. This also applies when you sign up to help run a School activity e.g. Pfrang Day, Sports Event, Spring Fun Day etc.

Giving a Service by helping is important but being clear about which Outcome you will achieve is equally or even more important.

Think Service, Think Outcomes!
