Hi parents and caregivers.
It's so close you can almost smell it! Projects are being graded, tests are being marked and soon the students can put their feet up and relax after what has been a busy year. It is an exciting time coming towards the end of the year to look back and consider and reflect on who your child was this time last year. Hopefully you will see (as we certainly do) the growth of your child. We don't see this day to day but when you look back at week to week month to month and year to year, you see just how far they have come!
Please remember grades are numbers, and reflect the work students have presented their teacher. They are not everything. They often do not measure growth, they do not measure kindess, not do they measure effort and character. They are simply a reflection of what they have shown the teacher. If your child does well, then great. If they have room for improvement, or the grade seems off from what you believe then ask your child why this is the perception of the teacher? How can this be fixed? Reflection is crucial in the IB and especially for MIS who value life long learners.
On that note, enjoy the short week, and the weather!
All the best Leighton and Carina.

Dear Parents,
It is our pleasure to invite you to this year's Service as Action Celebration Assembly on Tuesday 4th June at 13:00 in the Aula. We will celebrate this year's projects, give awards and our guest will be Mohamad Aljounde, winner of the International Children's Peace Prize 2017. Mohamad visited us in October and greatly inspired the students before they had started their Service as Action projects, so we are truly happy that he will be with us to celebrate their achievements. We apologise for the short notice but logistics have not made possible to inform you before. We will be very happy if you can join us.
