Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
I hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather and the beautiful cherry blossoms. Here are some of our Primary students enjoying the lovely colors of spring. April, apart from having some lovely weather and flowers, is a time of year when we welcome a number of new students and several will be joining us over the next week. HIS is a diverse and inclusive school community where we all look after each other so we look forward to meeting our newest students and their families.
I would like to congratulate the Secondary Music students, including our DP Music students, for the musical recital yesterday. Over the next few weeks, I will share some footage of our wonderful HIS musicians in action. Here is Alina (Gr10). Congratulations!
Continuing our HIS Alumni series, here is a short presentation from Sadao Enoki, Class of 2016, who shares some of his experiences in the Arts. This series has been focused on the Arts as the previous one had a Science focus. At HIS, we offer a range of different experiences both in and out of the classroom for two reasons. Firstly, you never know what you are really passionate about until you experience it, and secondly, all areas of learning are intertwined and all influence each other. Oftentimes, what we find we are truly passionate about is a mix of learning areas and we can be drawn to unique combinations. Thank you, Sadao, for sharing your journey with us.
On a final note, we said farewell this week to Yoko Hiraki who has been with HIS for about 20 years. It has been great to work with Yoko and she has made many great contributions to HIS over the years with her cheerful and positive presence. We wish Yoko all the best in her future adventures. The PTA also have a note and photo in the PTA news below. Enjoy the weekend.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule
