Scuba diving opens up a thrilling world beneath the waves, packed with adventure and excitement. Not only is it a fantastic way to stay fit and healthy, but it also teaches us the importance of protecting our oceans. Get your PADI certification before your summer holidays. Please check the poster for the dates. You can join the group chat by scanning the QR code outside the Activities Office.
If there is enough interest, we will organise a Ski Trip to Japan, next Lunar New Year Holiday. Scan the QR code outside the Activities Office.
Many thanks to those that were able to give input on our next round of AI Guidance “one-pagers” for faculty and students. Please see the most updated versions linked below. We plan to share the student-facing page with students after the break, so please let Kasson or Shannon know if there is any additional input this week. These will serve as our touchpoints on AI for the remainder of the school year. Also, please check out our AI @ NIS webpage here for the most up-to-date AI-related documentation, podcasts, and bots NIS has to offer!
