There are still a few vacancies for students to join the local school English tutoring group who will go to the Middle School next door and give some informal English tuition. I expect we will start (the Wednesday) visits in about two weeks. Please email me if you would like to join or simply sign up on the C&S / CAS signup link.

Grade 11? Thinking of applying to the US to study?

Any other grade, considering the USA?

Put Monday October 19th in your iCal, Diary, agenda NOW.

At 9.00am, we have Boston University coming to visit (in my office). If you want to come along, you’ll need to get yourself excused from class and email me ahead of time.

At 10.40, in the MYP LGR, we have 6 US colleges setting up a mini-fair (as last year). These are:

Widener University, Western New England University,  College of Saint Benedict/ Saint John’s University, University of La Verne,  Northern Kentucky University, Loyola University Chicago

If you are thinking, ‘I’ve never heard of them, why should I bother?’ STOP thinking that, this instant! Having never heard of them is a good reason for coming – you are going to learn something new. In addition, they will all have something to say generically about the US application process. In short, if you are thinking of applying to the US, you should definitely be coming to this event.

After break, I will be asking the reps to present on The College Essay, Scholarships for International Students and Living and Studying in the USA. These mini-seminars will eat into the first half of Block 3, so please make sure you have permission from your teacher to be absent.

A reminder that there is a whole cast read through today straight after school. During this time you will receive scripts, rehearsal schedule and other information. Please do not be late.

3:15 start – Black Box.

This week’s bell is “Waiting for Love,” submitted by both Mello and Synder advisories – two groups with great tastes. “Waiting for Love” was produced by Avicii (Tim Burgling), a Swedish DJ, remixer, and music producer. A 2015, this song is sung by Simon Alfred and is about a dog searching for its lost owner during a war.

To find out when your bell will be played, go to Office365.

Good morning,

During MYP/DP Advisory this morning, please review this summary about access to NIS campus.                        I am happy to meet with students to clarify any questions.

Thank you,

Mrs Tyoschin

PYP Assemblies:

If your grade level wishes to use the theatre for practice please email me to arrange a time well in advance. This is to avoid any disappointment as the theatre does get extremely busy at certain times during the year!

We are now in the month of September and the school bell schedule has been set. You can find out when your class’ bell will be through the Office365 link.

The cast list for Scrooge! is up…please check outside the Black Box for the list.

Thank you to everyone who auditioned…we are extremely excited about this production. It will be amazing!

THERE WILL BE A WHOLE CAST READ THROUGH MONDAY AFTER SCHOOL. THIS WILL BE FROM 3:15 UNTIL WE FINISH. During this rehearsal we will give out Rehearsal Schedule and information about rehearsals. Please ensure that you come to this read through. Please speak to Ms Philip or Mr Brown if you have any questions!

Interested in global issues?

Want to meet new people and travel to other schools?

Just like to argue?

We will be having our first MUN meeting of the year this Friday at 3:15 in room D241.  At this meeting we will introduce MUN and talk about the year ahead including opportunities for people in all MYP grades to get involved and contribute in different ways.  No MUN experience needed for this meeting, no need to have signed up ahead of time.  This is your chance to come and see what MUN is about.  And if we have time Derron is going to start us brainstorming the NISMUN topics for this February.

Swim Meet helpers are wanted on Sat Sept 12th from 9.30am to 2.30pm. Please signup on the C&S / CAS signup link.
