Dear Parents,
Thank you for your support this week as we kicked off school on Wednesday with nearly 630 High School students all arriving on campus in fresh, clean, and in some cases brand new uniforms. Whilst the first day was super busy for our students with short visits to all 8 classes, and presentations about Athletics, Arts, Activities, and Service, there was still time during the day to connect with old friends and make new ones. Their HS Principal was also able to take a ‘0.5’ selfie photo with each class to kickstart the year (see photo below). There were lots of high-fives, hugs, and smiles from our students to help energize our teachers as they too get back into school!
Speaking of teachers, we were excited to introduce our new HS faculty to our students at Wednesday’s opening assembly.

Upcoming Events:
In next week’s Enews, we will be sharing with parents a list of all of the HS parent meetings scheduled for the first semester with dates and times to add to your calendars. You can have a look at our online ISB calendar by clicking HERE, but many parents like to have all of those dates in one document which we will share next week after we finalize the details. In the meantime though, I do want to highlight the HS Open House which is taking place on Wednesday, September 13th starting at 6 pm. This will be a chance for parents to follow their child’s schedule and meet all of their teachers and discover the wonderful learnings that lie in front of them this year.
Other meetings coming up
Wednesday, September 6th, 10 am – HS Academics for new parents
Friday, September 8th, 10 am – HS IB Matters (for Grade 12 parents)
Thursday, September 24th, 6.30 pm – Senior Parent University Night (Grade 12 parents and students)
Keep a look out for more information about these meetings in future ENews.
