We have had a busy few weeks here at the High School. Our three overseas trips returned safely and the students all had some wonderful educational and adventurous experiences to tell us about. This Thursday, 9th Nov. we have our WWW Assembly at 12:05 and we will all get to hear more about the service learning, team building and challenges each student participated in. Parents are most welcome to join us.
Our Varsity Volleyball teams had great success with the U19 Girls team winning 3rd place in the playoffs and the U19 boys becoming Champions of their league. Fantastic team work was displayed and also dedication from coach Larkins who encouraged the teams from the side lines. Many supporters went along to watch and once again demonstrated real ISS team spirit.
We held our first PTC last Wednesday and many parents and guardians took the opportunity to meet with their child's teachers. Please sign up for the PTC this Wednesday 8th Nov if you missed last week, it is very important that you meet the teachers and gain a clearer insight into how you too can support your child's learning journey at ISS.
