Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
On Thursday this week, the PTA held their first parent, educational experience. They visited Bollywood Veggies, Sungei Buloh and Hay Goats Farm. All those involved had a wonderful day. A great chance to see more of Singapore and make new and lasting friends. For more information about the PTA email <[email protected]> Elementary School News Thank you, everyone, for making our Three Way Conferences so successful; the students were well prepared by their teachers, parents asked relevant questions and students displayed excellent communication skills while presenting their strengths, challenges and aspirations. A group of Grade 5 students represented ISS in the SEF Oral Competition on Environmental Solutions last Saturday. They clearly enjoyed the experience and we were all very proud of them. (picture) Most students have finished their first Unit of Inquiry and have completed their assessment of this. I have been most fortunate to have witnessed some excellent learning both in and out of the classroom. Paterson Campus will be very quiet next week due to the students in Middle School going on camp (the Week WIthout Walls). We wish them well and look forward to hearing about their adventures! The best part of the day is watching the students play; this is a very important part of their learning where they inquire into the environment, communicate with others and apply self management skills. (picture) Next week is the last week of Term One. Please make sure you bring your students back to school on Wednesday 17 October! The staff will be here from the beginning of that week, embarking on Professional Development. The SWIMMING GALA is on Friday 19 October - don’t forget! Venue: Toa Payoh Swimming Complex, 301 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, 319392 Map link here: Tao Payoh Swimming Complex Transport: All students will report to school as per normal (8AM).

Middle School News Greetings everyone and welcome to what is the last blog of Term 1. I cannot believe that we have been through the first quarter of the year already. When you are a busy school, with lots of things happening, time does indeed seem to fly. We wish all our families a safe and fulfilling break October break. This is the last blog of Term One. See you in Term Two. Remember students return 17th October Swim Gala The Swim Gala is an exciting opportunity for the ISS community to join together in a celebration of sporting achievement. The event this year will be made even more special because as an IB Continuum School the Swim Gala will reflect both the PYP and MYP. There will be events for all levels of swimmer and it is hoped that as many of you as possible will be able to join us.

Three Way Conferences Three Way Conferences were a wonderful mix of inquiry, sharing, understanding and most of all very positive communications. Students were able to give insight into their learning in the classroom and parents and guardians were able to better understand their pathway for learning. Everyone is in agreeance, it was very successful and informative because of the inputs of all involved. Well done students, parents/guardians and teachers. A true Three Way Conference. Week Without Walls So the trips leave on Monday 1st October. Student anticipation and excitement is clearly evident. The teachers and students have put in considerable time and effort in preparing for these experiential trips. Each of the trips are tied to one or two of the Sustainable Development Goals and strongly support working with the local community. See below for all the travel arrangements and meeting times for all trips.
