Principal’s Message

Dear HIS Community

In today’s Crane video you can see some images of the Gr4/5 class in action working on the Primary Years Program (PYP) Exhibition. We recently featured the Middle Years Program (MYP) Personal Project Exhibition and the Diploma Program (DP) Theory of Knowledge Exhibition so you can see that this idea of personal inquiry leading to an interactive presentation of learning is an essential part of all of our IB programs. We hope to see many of you at the PYP Exhibition on Thursday, 12 May. Keep an eye on the Crane for more details.

I would like to thank Mr Sheehy (Former HIS MYP and DP Language and Literature teacher) who is now working in the UK for sending a box of paper cranes from his current class to our HIS Crane Club. Our students were very happy to receive the cranes from their former teacher on the other side of the world.

I would also like to welcome Bas Klein from the Netherlands to our HIS team. Bas is a Teaching Assistant in the Primary and is also working in the library. It is great to have you with us!

This week’s TED Talk by Kevin Kelly is related to our recent Theory of Knowledge Exhibition where we heard students’ findings after their explorations into the nature of knowledge in their selected areas. I thought that this talk was a good example of how we can critically examine the nature of the knowledge we are generating by considering perspectives. This is an extremely important aspect of all our IB programs. On Saturday evening, is your weekend half full or half empty? Regardless, enjoy the weekend.

Kind regards

Damian Rentoule

Emotional Support Animal Reading

We are doing PYPX and we want to tell you about our action. Our topic is abandoned pets and emotional-support animals. We hope HIS students learn about emotional-support animals. Our action is making a poster and asking people to donate money to buy a book about emotional-support animals and we would like to put that book in the school library. Here is the link for the book. We heard of this book from Ms B. (Barnfather)
