We will be having a PYP music performance on Saturday, April 16th and are looking for students in grades 4 & 5 who would like to participate in a boomwhacker orchestra. We need between 8 – 20 students. This would require several lunch-hour practices and perhaps Thursdays after school.
The first practice is Monday during the 2nd half of lunch. If you are interested, please come at 1:20 to the MYP music room and see Miss Keus.

Today from 1-1:30 (during lunch) Game Day will be held in the Fishbowl across from IT for all grade 6-12 students and any teacher that would like to join in.

The 15 NIS students would went to the Local School last Friday did a great job and the local kids were really pleased that they took the time to come and speak English to them about a range of topics. All 14 boys and 1 girl did well. However, I couldn’t help wondering where all the NIS girls were? It would have been even better if we had more girls so if you are in G8-11 and are female please consider joining the Local School English Tutoring group. We will go to the school again on this Friday. Please email me if you are interested in joining.
Mock exams for G12 start tomorrow and run until March 23. A reminder G12s are off timetable. Please be aware exams will be happening all day in the MYP LGR.
The Girls SCISAC squad are still short of a couple of players for their season and their trip to Taiwan. The fee for the trip has been reduced to 3500rmb and if you have not used your subsidy yet this year then the fee will only be 1900rmb – for a 3-night trip to play basketball in Taiwan, this is a great opportunity for you to play against schools from Hong Kong, Macau, Chongqing & Taiwan. If you are interested, please speak to Mr Clarke or Mr Hornell or Ms Dickie. You need to be quick!!
On Friday of this week, as part of our Extended Advisory time, all Grade 6 – 11 students will participate in the Inter House Trivia Challenge. Everyone will be representing their advisory group and their House. More information on the structure will be given soon.
As we also have Inter House Tech Challenge in the afternoon this is going to be a big Inter-House day! Make sure you wear your House shirt and represent your House with pride. If Taiping win both events they can overtake Wutaishan and if Xuanwu win both, they can overtake Taping in the race for the House Shield!!
Here is some further information about the ‘Helping Swap’ activity:
Please bring the items you want to swap to the Library foyer any lunchtime this week (2nd lunch) to get your tickets. At Earth Hour, you will be able to choose your new items-don’t forget your tickets! Thank you.
