Student Homework Survey
Hello MYP Pupils,
Thanks to the 184 students that dutifully completed this HW survey on Friday! Now the rest of you… don’t make Uncle Sam angry (does he look like a dude you want to mess with?). If you were out for ACAMIS, CISSA, NEAMC, some other acronym I’m not aware of, or just sick, then welcome back! Now please complete this survey in homeroom today or tomorrow. Your input is important!

Many thanks,

ACAMIS Badminton
The NIS badminton team brought 24 players up to Beijing for the ACAMIS badminton tournament.
Fifteen different schools came to the tournament to compete inside the famous ISB dome.
At the end of three days of badminton, the NIS 1 team finished third in Division 1 and the NIS 2 team finished first in Division 2. These were great results for the NIS shuttlers. All the NIS players improved over the course of the tournament but special mention should go to Jia Yue Seow, Jason Oh and Hyunuk Kang for their outstanding performances.
While not playing badminton, many of the Grade 12 students spent their free time preparing for the upcoming mock exams. These students provided a great example of what it means to be a student athlete.

We will be auctioning both during break and lunch, and all proceeds will be split for donation into the Pfrang Association and the Amy Yang Fund.

The Student Council
Wanted: Languages A texts lurking under your bed, in drawers or bookshelves at home!
MYP/DP students:
Do you have any Language A novels studying sitting around at home? Maybe you’re using them as inventive door-stoppers, or perhaps they’re collecting dust on a shelf?
If so, PLEASE bring them back to school, and give them to your ever grateful Language A teachers.
Thank you!
