I hope you have had a wonderful summer holiday. It has been great seeing our students' excitement as they explored their new learning spaces for the year. The students have also been busy this week reconnecting with old friends as well as making new ones, truly modelling the IB learner profile attributes of being caring and open-minded. Over the summer, there have been exciting renovations to our learning spaces in the Elementary School. You will find newly refurbished Kindergarten 2 and Grade 2 classrooms on the first and second floor. We have also renamed several of our learning spaces with Singapore inspired names, such as Changi Hall (previously known as the ES MPR) and Serangoon Hall (previously known as the MS Hall). I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our highly experienced and talented new staff in the Elementary School.

If you are new, we hope your transition has been smooth, if you are returning, we trust you had a great break and are as excited as we are for the upcoming academic year. You will notice some changes around Paterson Campus and in the Middle School (MS). We have moved towards a stronger K-8 learning model. A number of teachers will be across both the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the MIddle Years Programme (MYP). This is occurring in PE, Chinese and Music. Exciting times indeed. MS also has a new timetable. We now align with the ES school and run a six (6) period day. Giving all our students and teachers the opportunity to interact. Room name changes have happened over the break. The MS Hall is now Serangoon Hall and ES MPR is now Changi Hall. This aligns more with us being a Singaporean International school. Meet the Teachers night is on Tuesday 22nd August. Please come along to MS and meet your child’s homeroom teacher and their subject teachers. The night starts at 6:15pm. I will be sending a letter out Monday morning with all the details. It is great to be back and we are looking forward to another stella year at ISS with you.
