Elementary School News
We welcomed a number of new students to the Elementary School on Monday and it is warming to see how our existing students welcome them. The playground is certainly a happy place! Our enrolments for 2019/20 are filling up so if you know of any family who wants to come to ISS please remind them to register soon; there are limited places in all our grade levels. This evening we are hoping for a clear night for our Family Fun Evening. Thanks go to the PTA for their outstanding efforts. As parents it is your responsibility to monitor what your children are viewing on-line, particularly games that show violence. Some students are telling us that they ‘game’ late into the night, which is obviously not good for their sleep patterns and their overall well being. Please be vigilant and know exactly what your children watch. Thank you all for completing the Camp formalities for Grades 3,4 and 5. The students will certainly enjoy their time at Camp. You may have noticed lots of ‘animals’ around the school on Friday - all part of student action! Wishing you all a fantastic Friday evening and a fun filled weekend! Middle School News Welcome everyone to Term Four! First question is ‘Where did Term Three go?’ It seems like last week we were only returning from December break and now we are already in the final stretch to the end of another academic year. New families Welcome to ISS for all our new students. Great to see so many new faces joining ISS. Specifically to Grade 6-8 families, as these students settle in to this year but as importantly prepare for next academic year. We are as excited to have you here, as I am sure you are excited to be with us. Family Fun Event As this blog ‘goes to press’ the PTA Family Fun Festival is in full swing. So much work has on in the background and we cannot thank the PTA enough for all their hard work. Wonderful the PTA have embraced their Risk Taker Learner Profile and totally revamped the format for this from the Sunday fair to a Friday night festival. More to talk about in next week’s blog. See you at the Festival :) ACSIS Sports Our valiant basketballers returned from a two week break and immediately had a road trip to GEMS World Academy. Whilst the boys toiled hard, their minds must have still been on holidays and we came second. This time. See you next round GEMS! STEAM Week Dr Jeremiah has kicked off this years STEAM week launching (pardon the pun) straight into a presentation with the Singapore Space Programme talking to students in Sambutan on Friday. With us in Serangoon Hall was Lim Seng the man behind the idea of sending a Singaporean into space. This will be followed over the next week with student workshops and interviews with scientists innovators and researchers. World of Work For the last three days Paterson Campus has hosted three Grade 10 students as part of the World of Work programme. Over this time the students shadowed a teacher during their day and got some authentic experience into what teaching and learning is all about. A wonderful initiative that will contribute to creating the teachers of tomorrow. Term Four Things to look forward to in Term Four are the Arts Exhibition and performance of Once ON This Island jr which is in the last week of May. The Grade 8 Farewell ceremony in the last week of term. Not to mention the whole school Sports Day on the last Monday of term. More information to follow on all these events. Have a great Family Fun Festival and weekend. Michael Comments are closed.
