You may have seen some strange things happening on the various screens and projector in and around the library foyer. This is the work of our Grade 8 Media Design class who have been spending the semester developing and refining experimental films for an audience.

Take a moment to watch, listen and think about what the students are trying to convey. They also have an artist statement next to the screen explaining their work.

The exhibition finishes Friday afternoon.

As it is a House challenge, make sure to wear your house shirts so that you can contribute to the house spirit and scoring.
This years Moveathon is also supporting two related charities: We Walk With You Parkinson’s foundation (UN Goal #3 – Health and Wellbeing) and the Pechersk School International (UN Goal #16 – Peace and Social Justice).
Students, parents, and staff may participate in this fundraising through an optional donation. Since our students are walking for at least 25 minutes on the day, our suggested amount is 25 RMB. Please scan below if you are interested in supporting these causes.
After the long weeks of online learning, this is a great opportunity for our NIS community to recognise the importance of movement, and feel the spirit of working for a good cause as a whole community!
Thank you in advance for showing your house and community spirit to move in support of 2 wonderful charities.
