This Week’s Message

It was a busy week last week.  As Y7 and teachers were away on the Jogya trip the HODs continued working on the final conclusion of the IB C standards, and the Y 8 and 10 IDU teams were busy planning their Interdisciplinary Units.

This week we have a shortened but action packed week. We will be celebrating the Global Jaya Days of significance with International Peace Day on Fri so afternoon classes will be impacted by the assembly.  Students have been doing lots of work leading up to this and will be involved in activities all week. Thank you, Ibu Regina, for this.
