Software updates

The Mac OS has had many updates these past few months. We’ve seen non-updated computers visiting unintended websites. It is in your best interests to update your computer. This can be done using the following steps.

1. Go to Apple menu and click Software update

2. Under the App Store update section click on all buttons listed as “UPDATE”

3. Some items require a restart; if that is the case, repeat these steps again until all updates have been applied

DO NOT INSTALL YOSEMITE, The App Store shows an option to install Yosemite, this is not to be confused with updating. If you feel uncomfortable with these updates email help@nanjing-school.com or drop your computer by the Apple Store

MYP Swim Gala Wed 11 Feb (Day 3)

There will be a new format to the MYP Swim Gala this year. On Wed 11 Feb (Day 3) the Gr6&7 Gala will be during Block 3, Gr8&9 during Block 4 and Gr10 – 12 during Block 5. This means that outside of these blocks, classes will run as normal (except for Gr11 who are having an EE day). If you teach any of the above grades during the blocks they are scheduled to have their gala, then you will be at the pool rather than teach your class. More information will be given closer to the date.
