Welcome from James Steward
Week 2 at HIS has been another exciting one with many events on the schedule. New students and teachers are settling in. The PTA Wolfpack has begun planning for a series of exciting coming events.
Thank you to Mr. Onodera for delivering an excellent ‘guest lesson’ on Migration this past week to our G3-4 students during Japanese class!
Parent Information Evening (PIE) was an excellent event. The HIS Staff did a wonderful job with their presentations and parents enjoyed educational discussions with their children’s many teachers. This year’s Teaching and Learning Team is superb and HIS is in great shape.
Good luck to our Volleyball Teams in the coming days as they prepare for a series of important games!

Finally, we have our first Let’s Bake of the year. For those of you who are new, this is a two part event put on by the Wolfpack. On the last Thursday of the month, we meet with a class to bake a sweet treat. The following Friday the Wolfpack holds a bake sale to sell the treats that were made.
This month we will be baking with the G8 on September 28th and the Bake Sale will be on September 29th.
