We had an amazing Lion Dance on Tuesday for all of the students and staff. The Lion's performed magnificently and our Grade 12 students were given luck and prosperity for their upcoming IB final examinations.
This past week has been seen our MYP Grade 9 students engaged in the International Schools Assessment (ISA) tests. The ISA assessment will give us more insight into our literacy programmes and provide a valuable snapshot of data for reflection. The students conducted themselves well, and each session started with '3 breaths' of Mindfulness. We recognise that assessments can be an anxious time for students and hence, we use a mindfulness practise at the start and end of assessments to support students and help them to relax and be better prepared. This week during Wellness Wednesday we had guests from Now.Here join us to speak with our Grade 11 students about Self-Compassion and Mindfulness (please see the link here for the many mindful workshops available for our community). Our Grade 10 learnt all about the new IB DP Mathematics programme and Grade 12 continued on their journey learning life skills; sewing, basic cooking, personal finance and flat sharing at University. Grade 9 prepared for the ISA tests and were provided with tips on how to be mindful when in examinations to relieve stress. On Valentines Day the Acts of Kindness (ARK) ECA distributed Valentine messages and chocolates to many students and teachers. It is so wonderful to be part of such a loving and caring community. Well done to the ARK team for spreading ‘a little bit of love’.
