Principal’s Message

Dear HIS Community

Congratulations to our Grade 10 students and to all the supporting teachers for the Personal Project Exhibition yesterday. The Personal Project is the culminating task for the Middle Years Program and is a chance for students to show off the independent inquiry skills that they have developed. Well done to you all.

The TED Talk this week is about a way of looking at the world, specifically, a way at looking at learning. This is a great talk that challenges the way we often look at ourselves as learners. The past few talks have examined the idea of identity and this re-evaluation of our self-perceptions as particular types of learners is very powerful.

Do we really believe that our ability to learn is not fixed? If so, this changes everything. Enjoy the Spring Break.

Kind regards

Damian Rentoule (Principal)

Homestay Students

We still need homestay families for April for our visiting students from the Netherlands. The time is fast approaching and we are starting to get nervous. Please help out if you can. They looked after our students so well on the HIS trip to the Netherlands. It doesn’t matter if you have children in primary or secondary. If primary, who wouldn’t want a Dutch big brother for a littel while. Thanks.
