English International School Newsletter of the 4th March 2019

Dear Parents,

The Swimming Gala was successfully held on Friday, 1st March, in spite of the clouds and intermittent drizzle.  E.I.S. students showed determination, enthusiasm and competence in reaching their personal and team goals.  We recognise the fine efforts of our swimming teachers and senior students in their organisation of the event, and thank parents for coming out to cheer on the children.

In this week of International Women’s Day (8th March), teachers will highlight women’s achievements and gender equality issues in classes.  E.I.S. takes the opportunity to celebrate all women in our community.

Please note the following for your diaries:

Performance – date to be announced

Middle school students have been working hard in their drama activity to prepare their performance of Roald Dahl’s, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  The date for this will be announced in the next Newsletter.

World Water Day, 22nd March

The international observance of World Water Day is an initiative that grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  We shall acknowledge this day in school and we encourage parents to explore and discuss this day’s importance at home to reinforce the focus placed on it in classes.  This year’s theme is: Leaving No One Behind.

Child Progress Conferences – Friday, 22nd March

Teachers will set appointment times closer to the day.

School Fair – Saturday, 23rd March, 16:00 – 19:00 on the school field

We thank parents who have offered their help in various ways. We look forward to seeing all at our annual event and hope you will enjoy the games, good food, entertainment, raffle and more.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
