Dear students,
Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey mentioned in last week’s assembly. We appreciate your input and thoughts on what JEDI (Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) means at NIS. All voices matter.
I can disagree with your opinion, but I can’t disagree with your experience.

University Counsellors will be holding family meetings with our Grade 10 students to support them with finalizing their IB DP/HSD subject choices from 13th February to 3rd March. Grade 10 Students are scheduled through Calendly with their assigned counsellor and please be mindful of your individual meeting time. Here is a gentle reminder of your subject choice.
Reasons why you might choose a subject
Most universities and employers expect young people to have studied a broad range of subjects, earned good grades, and been enthusiastic about what they have studied. There are exceptions in University program prerequisite/IB DP/HSD subject requirement. Information about pre-requisites and assumed knowledge for university courses will be discussed with your counsellor during the meeting.
We will look forward to seeing you.
University Counselling team.

Dear Secondary School Student Community,
The PE department fully supports your quest to be active in the gym at lunchtimes using our shared equipment. Unfortunately some/many of you are unable to respect and take care of our shared equipment.
There will be NO badminton equipment used until a solution from the students (who use the equipment) can be found to ensure respect and care is taken towards our equipment.
Please check the photo’s for evidence.
Come and see Mr Dutton if you have any ideas on how YOU can do this? (Might even be a service learning opportunity)

A few groups are recruiting new members:
These experiences not only count for volunteering but could also be used for your GCD stories (Leadership, Management, Community Engagement, Multilingualism, Artistic Expression, Personal Goal, and Public Communication to name a few).
These experiences could also be critical to your university applications. Show us who you are outside of the classroom, and showcase your leadership skills and community involvement.
Don’t wait until S1 of Grade 12.
