Friday afternoon assemblies (or Sambutan) at Paterson provide opportunities for students across the campus to make presentations, to share learning, to perform and to be recognised as for example Scientist of the Month or to receive a certificate recognising Learner Profile attributes such as being a thinker or a risk taker. I attended the Elementary assembly today and it was my pleasure to hear a young “guest” musician playing the piano, the whole school sing the school song and Happy Birthday and to be entertained by a newly formed Grade 4 dance group, watch out for more performances from this enthusiastic team!
Elementary students and their teachers were able to get a first look and “feel” for their “new” school when they visited the Preston campus this week. Grades 1 and 3 on Wednesday, Kindergarten and Grade 4 on Thursday and Grades 2 and 5 on Friday. High School student council members shared what they enjoy about learning and “living” at Preston. As students and teachers toured Block 5 we met High School students who have been with ISS since Kindergarten. I joined the tour on Thursday and with us were Ms. Sophia Bustamante, Ms. Fiona Edwards and Mr. Paul Adamberry who all studied as students at the Preston campus, some years ago. We assembled in the cafeteria for a delicious pizza lunch and marvelled at the truly magnificent view through the treetops. As we continue to plan and look forward to uniting Paterson and Preston campuses we have arranged for Grade 6, 7 and 8 students to visit the Preston campus next week. Afternoon lessons at Paterson will continue as normal. I am pleased to let you know that the school architect will share an update of renovation plans and how the works are progressing at Preston at Thursday’s Parent Coffee which will begin as usual at 8.00am in Serangoon Hall.
