Last week |

Dear Parents,

We are now approaching the very last school week of a challenging academic year, where students, teachers and families alike have faced a variety of challenges and surprises along the way. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect many lives and livelihoods around the world, but despite the turmoil it has created and continues to cause, our students at ISB have continued to engage with their learning and continue to grow as students.

We are proud of all of our students and their achievements and successes during this year, which has been recorded in our Yearbook, in our award ceremonies, final music performances, assemblies and throughout our communications. Please do take a moment over the course of the week ahead to reflect and talk with your child about their successes and the challenges they faced this year. We look forward with hope and optimism to a summer where we can connect with family and friends, read a book, be active, maybe travel and certainly spend less time on a computer screen.

The week ahead will see classes completing learning activities, saying goodbyes and wrapping things up before our final assembly on Friday (10.30-11.30am). I’ll share a final message next week on Friday, but with many families making an early start on travel plans (to get vaccinated or to see family), I wanted to be sure to say a big thank you to our departing families and safe travels to everyone that is travelling over the break.

Regards
Justin Alexander
High School Principal
