New Uniforms
Many students are now wearing the new school uniform and looking very smart. Please don't forget that uniforms can be ordered online via http://www.tci.sg/iss . You can choose to either have the uniforms delivered to school, which is free, or delivered to your house (for which there is a charge).
A reminder that by Chinese New Year all students should be either wearing the new or the old uniform. From August 2015 all students should be wearing the new uniform.
ECA
An exciting ECA programme for 2nd Semester is currently being finalised and will be emailed to parents next week.
Thank you and welcome
I would like to extend a huge thank you to Ms Betty Fong who has stepped in and covered Ms Mason's class in Ms Mason's absence.
I am very pleased to announce that Ms Vaneeshree (Vanee) Eganathan will be taking on the role of Grade 2 teacher from Monday. Vanee trained and qualified as a teacher in Australia and also holds a Masters in Education from Nanyang Technological University here in Singapore.
Vanee is already known to many of the students as she has been teaching alongside Mr Hugh in our Learning Support Department since 2011. Prior to moving to ISS Ms Vanee taught at Chatsworth International School.
Ms Vanee will take over the Grade 2 position from Monday. We will be covering Ms Vanee's current duties internally until a replacement can be appointed for her current position.
Grade 5 Market Day
The Grade 5 is holding a Market Day on January 19, (Monday) from 8.30 - 11 AM as a part of their learning experiences for the unit How We Organize Ourselves.
The students will sell goods and services produced by them.
Goods will be priced approximately $1 - $5.
All profits go to KIVA, a mico-financing organization that gives small low interest loans to small business owners around the world.
Responsible use form
Students will be bringing home today a responsible usage form for signing. This form covers the expectations for responsible use of technology at ISS. For Grades K1- Gr 4 it should be signed by the parent and returned to school. Grade 5 may sign their own form and return it. In case you do not receive a form I have attached a copy below.
