Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
We were very happy to receive so many entries for HIS Idol this great and I would like to thank Nami, Mr B, and Mr Washington for all of the work organizing this great event. It is a wonderful opportunity for children to express themselves in a variety of creative ways and we often see sides of our students that we may not see on a day-to-day basis. Well done to all you risk-takers out there.
Speaking of our creative, risk-takers, below is a presentation by one of our HIS Alumni, Taiga Ishibashi, who is doing exciting work in the music industry. Taiga was kind enough to speak with our students about his pathway into the Arts and we particularly appreciate Taiga’s willingness to re-record this after we had a technical issue with the original presentation recording. Much appreciated, Taiga. Congratulations on all your successes.
This week’s TED Talk is a great one about the power of music and the speaker challenges some strongly embedded cultural biases and stereotypes related to certain emotions. It is a great exploration about how certain music can make us feel and why people tend to like sad songs. Listening to some of the questions the speaker was asking, I was reminded of the importance of this sort of inquiry in our IB programs. I hope you all enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule
