PTA funfair "The PTA will be running a stall at the Fun Fair to sell gently-used books and toys. If you are doing some spring cleaning and wish to donate toys in good/clean condition and books of any language, age range or subject, please look for the PTA collection boxes next week. Please however keep in mind that Literacy Week is coming at the end of February also. During Literacy Week there will be a book swap where kids will be asked to donate a children’s book in exchange for a ticket. The children can then use the ticket to trade for another donated book. If your child attends the Paterson campus, please make sure you have a book ready for your child to participate in the Book Swap."

With Spring Festival also known as Chinese or Lunar New Year, almost upon us, the students introduced us to the time honoured traditions, history and cultural significance to this festival. Well done to Ms Rong and Ms Du for organising. It has been a great week for learning in MIddle School. It’s been a privilege to work alongside the teachers on Monday as they looked to develop deeper and more meaningful ways to embed Approaches To Learning (ATLs). On Wednesday, the culmination of an IB Arts Programme saw the DP students present their final work for exhibition. The Thursday the U14 boys football learnt the valuable lesson of being the best team does not always mean you win. Then to finally end up in Sambutan and see CNY celebrations, Global Development Goals art shows, and student agency through the Student Council. How good is it to be a part of ISS!
