Thank you very much for everyone involved in the organization of the very successful HIS Fun Day last weekend. It was a great day of fun activities and lots of delicious food and it all came together after much work for the school community which we all appreciate very much. Congratulations and thanks to the PTA for the organization of a wonderful day for us all.
We have had a very enjoyable Sports Day at Coca-Cola Stadium today. Lots of sunshine and races so thanks to everyone involved. You will see some images on this week’s Crane Video.
Regarding this week’s TED Talk, in the Diploma Program (DP), students take a course called Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and look at various ways of knowing the world. This TED talk reminded me of conversations that I have heard in TOK classes regarding the curious nature of memory and how experience influences perception. If you have a child in Grade 11 or 12, you may like to ask them their thoughts on experience Vs memory.
Enjoy your weekend.
Regards
Damian Rentoule (Principal)
