Influenza
Vaccination
As part of the vaccination campaign of
the Ministry of Health and the Social Security, health workers from the Social
Security will be vaccinating our students against the H1N1 Influenza this Wednesday and Thursday. All students above the age of 7 years are eligible to
be vaccinated.
If you would like your son or daughter
to be vaccinated against this virus, please complete and return the
authorization form by today.
Last chance to register for next year!
Almost all parents have completed the
online Pre-Registration process - THANK YOU!
We have a small number who have
Pre-Registered but have not carried out the Registration Process at school.
Most of this group have small sums owing which have to be cleared before we can
continue with the Registration Process for next year.
Please note that the Administration
will be open for this today and tomorrow, to
enable the last few to register for next year.

UP Family days
This week it will be the turn of
children in UP to invite their parents to come in to school for their school
Family Days. Dates for each Grade are below. We look forward to seeing you.
21st Century Boys
On Wednesday 30th May from 7am to 8am in the Seminar Room (above the Jubilee Library) Mr Fastiggi will
be giving a presentation to the parents of boys who are currently in Prepa. The
talk will be entitled 21st Century Boys and is very relevant to parents who
have children of this age as it is around now that we notice, in school, that
boys are beginning to assert themselves, to experiment with rule making and
breaking, negotiating and testing friendships and boundaries. Mr
Fastiggi has been interested in this topic and has led this INSET for both
teachers and parents this year as well as beginning a mentoring scheme
involving Grade 11 students with some of our younger pupils. He will be
teaching in Grade 1 next year.
Latin American Music Concert
Our annual Latin American Music Concert
takes place on Wednesday 30th May. This is a wonderful event involving our
musical pupils playing alongside a professional band. The concert begins at
6.30pm in the PAC and there will be room for dancing for those who find it hard
just to sit and listen! Tickets are available from all offices in school and
cost $2.
Moving up day
On Friday 1st June all children in Primary will ‘Move up’ to the classes, and wherever possible teachers, that they
will be with next year. This is a very exciting day for our pupils and I know
that they look forward to it. Grade 5 pupils will spend Thursday and Friday of
next week in the care of the Secondary school; meeting teachers, having lessons
and talks and finding their way around.

We have a number of Grade 9 and Grade 11 students returning today from doing their final
expedition for the International Award which is a Young People’s leadership
programme that the school promotes (http://www.intaward.org/). We have students completing the Bronze and
the Silver awards. Today we had a morning with Grade 10 students
discussing some of the issues that they need to be aware of for the IB Diploma
which they will be starting in August 2012. We also held a short Awards
Assembly at 9.30 am for Grade 10. Today we are
also meeting with Grade 12 Parents at a Parent Partnership Meeting to
discuss various issues relating to moving on from school and to hand out the
final report sheets. We are very proud of the quality of the videos that are
made by students at school and on Tuesday we have our Digital Video Awards
event in the PAC. If you would like to come and see the winners as well as
some slips please get a ticket in advance. Tickets are available from the
School offices. We also have our Induction days for Grade 5 on Thursday and Friday. Our Grade 12 students have completed their IB examinations
