MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION:
Dear Parents,
ISM is very fortunate to have a dynamic,
supportive, enthusiastic and incredibly talented
Parent Community Association (PCA). I would
like to thank them for all their hard work this year
and for their ongoing assistance with supporting
the multitude of high school programs that we
offer. Not to be outdone by the wonderful
student performances that we have witnessed
this year, the PCA have organized and
choreographed their very own show and I am
eagerly anticipating their performance tonight.
After the performance you can dine at the
International Food Faire. It promises to be a
virtual extravaganza of international cuisine. If
you have nothing planned for tonight then come
along and enjoy the show. I hope to see you
there!
IB Mock exams for seniors have gone very well
this week and will be completed for all seniors
next week prior to our dismissal for the
holiday on Wednesday. There will not be a high
school bulletin next week, so I would like to wish
you all a relaxing and refreshing spring break
and when we return in April there will be a short
sprint of about 10 weeks until the end of the
year.
Kind regards,
William Brown
HS Principal
