We have had a very busy week in the High School with our Grade 10 Speed Careers Fair, teacher vs students basketball matches, our Grade 9 ISA examination trials, our IB Art Exhibition and the Student Council Formal.
IB Art Exhibition The school community was given a wonderful opportunity to hear from our Grade 12 IB Art students at the opening night of their exhibition on Tuesday 29th January. The art work on display was outstanding and each artist was able to articulate why they had produced the various pieces and the inspiration behind each one. A huge thanks goes to Ms Larue for her guidance as she helped each of our students reach their full potential over the past two years. Congratulations to Wei (Ben), Euijin (Rachel), Lucinda and Kaho. ISA On Thursday 14th and Friday 15th February we will have our ISA tests for Grade 9. To prepare for the test, students should have their computer charged the night before, get a good night of sleep, have a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school relaxed and on time. WIDA International News WIDA's International News for January features ISS as the Focus School. Mrs Edwards and Mr Taylor collaborated on an article about how we have found ways to integrate both the International Baccalaureate (IB) and WIDA framework to articulate and strengthen our bespoke curriculum and differentiated teaching approach for all levels of English learners. Here it is the link if you wish to read the whole article. Mindful Parenting Workshop We are pleased to work in collaboration with Now.Here for their upcoming Mindful Parenting Workshop on February 10th at our Paterson campus. Parenting by all standards is challenging. So often the demands of life affect our ability as parents to practice deep listening and compassion with our children. This can lead to a lot of frustration and confusion for both parent and child, which then impacts the quality of the parent/child relationship. Designed for parents, this 1-day workshop will teach some essential Mindfulness practices and provide tools and methods for navigating the complex challenges of parenting. At the same time, parents will learn how to better connect with other family members as well as build emotional resilience in their children.
