Elevators are NOT for Everybody

Dear Students,

Elevators at NIS are for those who NEED them to move between floors. NOT those who can walk up and down stairs, but CHOOSE not to. Please walk up and down the stairs; it’s good for you!

Elevator FAQs

  • Can I just ride it because I am feeling lazy? NO.
  • What if I have a big group of lazy people? NO.
  • Can I ride it with my injured friend who NEEDS it to move about campus? ONE person can travel with them. ONE.
  • Are there CCTV cameras in the lifts? YES.

See you on the stairs!

Volunteering! G10-12

A few of the teachers would like to have some Mandarin tutoring. It’s just 10-15 minutes a few times a week. They would like to practice their speaking and listening. These teachers are taking Mandarin lessons but we all know that in order to get better, they should practice! So teach them how to order food or to ask for directions! You could help them practice their numbers!

Some teachers would also like to learn how to use some apps like a pro. Taobao, Alipay, Hippo etc.

Secondary Tuesday Lunch Move Permanent

Our shift to 11:30am recess and 12:00pm lunch on Tuesdays for secondary students was a resounding success. We will now make this change permanent. This means that secondary students always eat at 12:00pm. Easy to remember, right?! Many thanks to Ms. Moen for this suggestion.
