Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
I would like to thank our graduates who came to HIS on Thursday to speak with our secondary students. Our graduates are outstanding role models for our students and I am very proud to have such wonderfully kind-hearted students as alumni. You spoke very well and had some great advice for your listeners.
All has been going well with Ato and Mizuki who have settled in well and are continuing to work hard eating through all the undergrowth as the new building rapidly goes up on the other side of the fence.
This week’s TED Talk is by Xiye Bastida who has been taking action for our environment and is an inspiration for us all. I hope you all enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule

Secondary Peace Day – October 15th
On Thursday, October 15, the Secondary students will attend an event at the Peace Park. This will be all day with student moving directly to the Peace Park and returning home from the venue at the end of the day. There will be a ceremony where students from a range of schools present flowers, read peace declarations and participate in a moment of silence together. This will be followed by a talk by a representative from the United Nations regarding the promotion of peace. This will take us to lunchtime when we will eat bentos in the Peace Park and HIS students will participate in a range of activities related to the promotion of peace as personal action.
Further details of the day will be sent home next week.

HIS Hoodie Order HISパーカーの注文
We will be accepting orders for HIS hoodies until:
Deadline: Monday, September 28th.
Apologies for the sudden order and short deadline. We need to place the order soon so that secondary school students can receive their hoodies in time for an upcoming field trip. We may run another order later in the year.
There are two weights of fabric and 2 styles. Examples of each type and each size are available in the school office for those who are not sure which size to order. Sizes may vary depending on the weight of fabric and style, so we recommend trying on a sample before ordering. You can see examples with our cute models here:
