Paterson Campus
Our annual Festival of Lights is on December 6th. This event showcases our High School musical talent. Prior to the event, at 6pm, the School Board and PTA will jointly host a reception. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know members of the School Board and PTA and an additional opportunity to learn about what is happening at ISS. Elementary School News It is hard to believe it is already December! The Elementary School this week was full of learning engagements, field trips, class inquiries and discussions! I asked the students what their headline for this week would be, please see their responses below. G3 students “ISS students use their feet to explore length!” G4 students “G4 explores Mindful Eating and free snacks!” K2 students “I love Listen to Reading with Daily 5!” K2 students “We trace letters with colourful gel!” G2 students “ISS students use Tangrams to create a story!” G2 Student “ I am an Artist at ISS!” A gentle reminder about our Imagination Playground equipment. These versatile building blocks allow students countless ways to create, cooperate and have fun and we are happy to see the students using them after school as well. Please help us support our students in being responsible by putting away any equipment they are using after school before heading home.

Everywhere I turn at Paterson Campus there is something that intrigues me, makes me smile and reinforces what a special school we have. Last Friday I was fortunate enough to watch Starry Night (G2 play); that was following on from a Grade 6-8 student semester reflection activity in Sambutan; and lastly the start of the boys U14 football competition with games against Dover Court and GEMs schools. Our students excel when given the opportunity, and they do so in a thoughtful and caring manner. What a great week! On Sunday Mr Lebon and Mr Ballinger 16 students will perform for the Eurasian Association (EA) here in Singapore. ‘The EA provides services for the community in three key areas: Educational Advancement, Family Support Services and Community Development.’ (http://www.eurasians.org.sg/) During the course of the day the ISS students will perform and help out at the EA as they hold their christmas celebration. Well done to all concerned. As earlier mentioned our U14 boys, coached by Mr Orgee, begun their football campaign in ACSIS sport (Singapore Internationals schools sports association). A hard fought 2-1 loss against Dover Court was followed up with a 7-2 loss to GEMs. Coach Orgree said they are still developing the teamwork. Good luck boys. Hope everyone has a good weekend Upcoming Events Sunday, 3rd December - MS students @ Eurasian Society Christmas Party Wednesday, 6th December - Festival of Lights, 6pm at our Preston Campus Sunday, 10th December - Japanese University Fair (Paterson Campus) Thursday, 14th December - Service as Action day, East Coast Parkway Friday, 15th December - Reports available on ManageBac Friday, 15th December - Last day of the Semester (note this is a full day) Comments are closed.
