Dear Parents,
It was great to see a number of our sporting teams take the field, and courts this week as Season one gets underway. Our Athletic Director (Chris Mott) is particularly excited to see such large numbers of students involved in our Athletics program on Varsity or JV teams for Volleyball, Football, and Cross Country. We look forward to following their successes over the next few months as they build towards the IASAS championships in Singapore (Volleyball and Cross Country) and Jakarta (Football) in mid-October. Whilst the athletes are competing hard, our thespians are treading the boards rehearsing for ‘Legally Blonde’, this year’s HS Musical. We look forward to their performances towards the start of October.
Of course, we have talented students involved in MUN, participating in our Dance teams, and all of our musical festivals (Band, Choir, and Strings) are taking place in September/October. There is certainly enough happening to keep our students busy and engaged in some of their favorite activities in the next few months.
We would like to invite you all into school to get an insight into your children’s day and to meet their teachers at our Open House on Wednesday, September 13th starting at 6 pm. We will share a welcome video in next week’s ENews that outlines information and gives more details about the format of the evening. In the meantime though, we can let you know that we will email all parents and students with a copy of their own individual schedules in advance of the evening.
Teachers will share a short presentation that includes an outline of their courses, details about assessment, and what students will be studying this year. Each ‘class’ is only 10 minutes long before you need to move to another classroom. ‘Classes’ run from 6.00-8.10 pm with snacks, coffee, and tea available in the MS/HS cafeteria throughout the evening. Given the 10-minute classes and the tight schedule you will be on, Open House is not the night to ask questions about your child’s progress. If you do have questions of that nature please reach out to the relevant teacher before Open house.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Open House on September 13th.
Regards
Justin Alexander
