Wearing our PE kit in the colder winter months

As the weather becomes colder, we would like you to dress the children according to the photo:-
Thank you to Maxine and Brenden for being such lovely models!

Please do not put layers  underneath the PE kit as the children can not take under garments off easily when they feel hot or when they are working on the apparatus during PE lessons. 

The Uniform shop now offers you choice of items to put ON TOP OF the PE kit so please visit the shop!

We now stock a light v necked jumper:-

 an improved quality warmer zip up jacket:-

 AND track suit bottoms. The tracksuit bottoms can be worn with either the jumper or the jacket, or both if and when the weather gets really cold. 

SO, PLEASE, NO MORE LAYERS UNDER THE PE KIT!

Many thanks

Key Stage 1 Christmas Show

Dear Year 1 and 2 parents
Because there are so many children in Year 1 and 2 now, we are going to do 2 performances of our Christmas Show this year. Year 1 parents will be able to come on Tuesday 9th December at 1:40, and Year 2 parents will be able to come on  Wednesday 10th December at 1:40. We will send home a ticket with each child this Friday. The Tuesday performance tickets will be yellow and the Wednesday tickets will be red. Each ticket will be a family ticket allowing 2 adults and up to 2 children to come to the show. Parents must remember to bring the ticket to the show on the day, because we will be asking to see them.

If you can not come to the allocated performance, please come to see the office staff who will try to arrange another ticket for you.

Please do not try to bring a third adult with you because we simply do not have the room.
Many thanks for your support.

Next event requiring children to wear Tribe t-shirts

Please note that the children do NOT have to wear their Tribe t-shirts this week  (Friday 21st November), but they do need to wear them next week (Friday 28th November).

Sorry for the confusion, but we had to make some calendar adjustments due to some visitors who are coming in to school to work with the children.

Terry Fox Run

What an amazing day we  had yesterday. Firstly we all had the opportunity to listen to Darrell Fox (brother of Terry Fox) speak about Terry, and then we presented him with a cheque for NT$220,000. But the money has continued to come in, and now we are up to over NT$300,000. This is a fantastic amount of money, and I think the response has been huge to the power of the story of Terry's determination. If you fon't know his story, please take the time to google Terry, he was a real hero, and continues to do so much for cancer research although he passed away nearly 35 years ago.

Then in the afternoon from Year 1 to Year 6 took part in the Terry Fox Run - what a wonderful event to be part of:-

The children looked fantastic in their Tribe t-shirts.

Winter Uniform

Dear Parents
Unfortunately there are some delays around getting our Winter Uniform items in to our shop. This is not the fault of anyone, it's just that there have been some issues around the quality of the fabrics of some of our items, and it's taken a while to look at alternatives and make a decision.
Here are the delivery dates that have now been confirmed by our supplier:-

• Long sleeved red polo shirt for Nursery children - in stock NOW

• Long sleeved grey polo shirt for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 - 26th November
• Red V neck light weight sweatshirt for Nursery - 24th November
• Navy V neck light weight sweatshirt for Reception to Year 9 2 -24th November
• Navy zip-up heavy weight winter sweatshirt for Reception to Year 9 - 20th November
• Navy boys' trousers in all sizes - in stock NOW
• Navy girls' bicycle shorts (undergarment) - 20th November

Don't forget that the idea of our newly designed uniform items, is for the children to wear layers on top of their uniform and NOT underneath. It is difficult for the children to self regulate how they are feeling if they can not remove unwanted layers. We want the children to be independent, but if they wear undergarments underneath their uniform, they can not remove them without missing learning time.

Many thanks for your support in making the children look smarter as they learn!

I will let you know as other items arrive, thank you for your patience.

Celebrating our H4 graduates

Well done to the Graduating Class of 2014!

Our University Counsellor Jack Shull, who is based up at our Secondary Campus, has just produced a document celebrating our 2014 IB Diploma results. They are very impressive, so I thought I would share them with you.
Congratulations to the pupils themselves, their parents and all the teachers who over the last 15 years have contributed to the journeys of these wonderful young people. Their Early Years teachers need to be recognised as much as their IB teachers, and as a community we need to celebrate their successes.
