2018-2019 1ST ISSUE (15 AUGUST 2018)
It is my great pleasure to welcome students and their families, both new and returning, in commencing the 2018-19 academic year at SSIS.
Now in my 8th year at SSIS, I continue to thoroughly enjoy the vibrancy of the school community that is so positive and committed to supporting the school grow and improve.
Many of our families have noticed some branding changes that have taken place over the summer both on our campus and on our website. We are excited to announce we have been working to modernize the look and feel of our school through many different ways. One of these ways is emphasizing the SSIS acronym instead of the full name of our school. These changes have been carefully implemented to clear up confusion we often hear about having Singapore in our name.
We are thrilled to announce this year’s IB diploma results for the Class of 2018. This year we had 57 students receive an IB diploma and our school average remained at 36 for the second year in a row. Perfect scores were awarded to Amy Hao Li and Yi Yue Jiang, both received a 45 for their final IB Diploma.

On Tuesday 14th August 2018 SSIS will open their doors once again for another school year. For it's caring teachers, those doors have been opened already for over a week. They have been in rooms, moving furniture around, unpacking resources, creating learning environments that are child centred, child friendly and value everything about Early Years Education.
Although it is always lovely to enjoy a summer with family and friends, I am very glad to be home in Suzhou and contemplating another year at SSIS. This is my third year as Principal here and I feel very privileged to be working with such a capable staff, inquisitive and enthusiastic students, and supportive parents.
