2018-2019 25TH ISSUE (25 MARCH 2019)
Over four days just over week ago, we again were able to see SSIS at its very best – a true international community focused school. With parent teacher conferences, a world university fair, a Grade 12 art exhibition and the ACAMIS swimming championship, all went smoothly with many saying: "How do you do it so well?"
The PHE Grade 9 Cheerleading showcase was based on this challenge; SSIS's High School Basketball team has qualified to play in the finals of a large competition, which will be used for a half time show at an NBA match in Shanghai.

Our Grade 2 Scientists have just concluded their inquiry into How The World Works with an incredible Science Fair! This event was the culmination of a six week inquiry into the central idea that "Using the scientific process helps us to investigate the sources, properties and uses of light."

This week I have thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in Mathematics!
I learned some great information in Ms. Peterson's engaging Grade 6 class about Geometry and was reminded of my own school days. This unit is called Measurement and students study area, perimeter and volume.
There are always a lot of things to consider when choosing languages for your students (what the language of instruction is, which language they speak at home, what country they might study in for further education etc.), so always feel free to ask for advice or guidance if needed.
