Dear Parents

I would like to remind all families that the school will be closed on Monday, 4^th November due to the public holiday for Deepavali celebrations.

Today is the last day for entries for the school ‘Writing Competition’. If your child’s entry has not been submitted to Ms Gregory, please encourage them to do so.

Staff First Aid Course

The staff are presently involved in a medic first aid course that has been kindly provided by the Sabah Medical Center. The course covers first aid techniques for sprains, broken bones, cuts and other injuries, as well as CPR techniques. We wish to thank Mr Adrian Vekic for organizing this for the school.

School Hats Policy

We would like to remind parents that all students should wear the school cap when outside at school. This includes when they are doing PE or playing outside at break times and before and after school. This policy has been implemented as a safety precaution due to potential damaging effects of over exposure to the sun. If your child does not already have a school cap, these are available at the school office.

Swimming caps for girls

A number of girls are experiencing some problems when swimming with their long hair. We therefore request that parents either tie their hair back properly on swimming days, or alternately supply them with a swimming cap.

Swimming for secondary students

On Friday morning our secondary students go swimming. Please ensure that they come to school on that day dressed in their P.E. kits with their swimming costumes underneath.

There are several events that were initially schedules to occur this term, but have been postponed for various reasons. Please find attached the updated Academic Calendar.

All students in the Secondary Department (except for those sitting their IGCSE examinations at this time) will be receiving their Grade Card to take home next Tuesday, 5^th November.

(For KIS families and friends)

The PTA is planning to hold the Christmas Ball on 12 December 2002. We shall need to have at least 150 participants (including children above age of 3) in order to hold this function. Please complete the attached survey and return it to the school office by Friday 8 November.

Next PTA Steering Committee meeting: Wednesday 13 November 2002, 8:30am at the school.
