Dear Parents, Teachers and Staff,

Congratulations to all our students who participated in JISMO over the weekend. We had 159 Grade 2 – 6 students from schools around Surabaya. JISMO is becoming an increasingly popular event, particularly for the Grade 5 and 6 students. The exams papers are now on their way to JISMO headquarters for marking and the Award Night will be announced over the next couple of weeks. Good luck!

All the best to the High School students who are experiencing classrooms without walls this week. The annual camp is designed for students to challenge themselves while at the same time providing service to the wider community and participating in aspects of entrepreneurship. We hope you give a one hundred percent effort so that you can gain the most from the experience.

This week marks the end of the first term. It is a good opportunity to reflect upon what is going well and also to focus on what can be improved. We urge all students who feel they could benefit from extra support in any area, to ask for it. We are lucky to have strong, capable and generous staff members who are willing to provide guidance when needed.

Enjoy the upcoming holiday break and look forward to seeing you all on the 14th October.  Meanwhile, have a great week.

Martin Blackburn
