Greetings and welcome to all things Middle School. Whilst the end of the semester is near, there is still so many great things happening. Last Friday night ISS farewelled another cohort of Grade 12 students. These fine young women and men graduated from school and were recognised at a ceremony at the Japanese Association. Good luck G12 in the pathway you have chosen. It’s Free Dress Friday today and our students are once again supporting the Singapore Food Bank with a donation of food or $1 going to help those people more needy than us. Well done to the student council, Ms Kalaw and Mr Ballinger on maintaining this support for the Food Bank throughout the year. So to next week and what a week! The culmination of 6 months work brings Into The Woods to the stage at the Alliance Francais theatre, on Wednesday and Thursday. Mr Lebon, the cast and crew have poured hours into what is going to be a great show. The proceeds of the show go to supporting our ongoing work with Sok Sabay in Cambodia. A boarding house for children and young adults, with difficult or no home life. Some students from Sok Sabay will be joining us for the event and it is a privilege for us to have them here. At the same time as Into The Woods is on, the Grade 5 students will be making a transition in Grade 6. On the Wednesday and Thursday Grade 5 will spend two days familiarising themselves with the layout of Middle School, more independent learning timetables and also the concept of many subjects with many teachers. Next week, believe it or not is the last full week for this academic year. Encourage the students to make the most of this time, by continuing to be productive and cherishing their friends and classmates before the long break. Have a great weekend.
