Dear Parents

Staff Training

Next week Mrs Alison Davis will be in school providing staff training on the latest techniques in teaching English across the curriculum. Mrs Davis is a renown expert in this field and has lead staff training and addressed teacher conferences throughout Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. The Primary Department staff will have training the whole day on Wednesday (Relief teachers have been arranged to cover their lessons). Mrs Davis will work with teachers in their classroom on Thursday.

This visit has been arranged in conjunction with FOBISSEA Staff Training that we as a school are hosting. A number of teachers are flying into Kota Kinabalu from all over Asia to attend this training. Our Primary Department teachers will be attending this on Friday and Saturday next week. (Relief teachers have been arranged to cover their lessons on Friday).

Art IGCSE Examinations

We have a number of students who are presently sitting their examinations in IGCSE Art. This is very intensive and time consuming. They were involved in the first part of the examination last Friday and Saturday. They will be taking the last part of the exam today and tomorrow (Saturday). I would like to thank Cigku Mutang for giving up his weekends to invigilate these exams.

Mid-Term Break:  19^th – 27^th October

The school will be closed for the mid-term break from 19^th to 27^th October.

IGCSE Examinations

From the 28^th October our Year 11 students will be sitting their main IGCSE examinations.

Donation of Scanner

Mrs Diana Hughes has kindly donated a scanner to the school. This is greatly appreciated and will be a great tool for our students in their work.

Bowling Club

A reminder that all students involved in the Bowling Club after school on Fridays need to pay RM41.00 to the school office. This covers the lane fees and show hire for the term.

Sabah Nature Club Activity

 The club members will be visiting the DBKK Composting Project at DBKK Nursery Likas this afternoon. Details have already been circulated to club members yesterday.  For others who are interested, you are most welcome to join. Details and map to location are available on the Sabah Nature Club Notice Board (outside the Principal’s office).
