This focus group aimed to explore the findings from the Parent Survey that was recently completed so that we can fully understand parent perceptions and use this information to further strengthen our services. Elementary School News This week, Grades 3, 4 and 5 traveled to camp; G3 to Pasir Ris, G4 to Sembawang, and G5 to South Buona Vista. The students were able to enjoy new experiences as a class community, continuing to build friendships and making lasting elementary school memories. The camps are an important part of learning at ISS and provide students with a well rounded learning experience.
