- Dear
Parents
-
 Swimming
Gala
- The
newsletter is appearing on a Thursday this week because our swimming
gala is being held tomorrow. With some pupils away at Danum Valley
last Friday, you might have missed the details of the gala given at
that time. Here are the details once more.
-
- The
gala will be held at the Likas Sports Complex pool on Friday, February
21. Parents should take
their children directly to the pool complex. We would ask that the
children arrive by 8:00 so that the gala can start promptly at 8:30.
Parents are encouraged to stay and cheer on their children.
- The Lower
School Competition will be held in the small pool and should be
finished by 10:30 while the Upper School Competition should be
completed by 12:00. The small pool is out in the open so please make
sure that your children are adequately protected against the sun.
Parents are free to take their children home after their respective
competitions have finished. There will be no Cricket Club on this
day.

place in the high jump. Congratulations to those who participated and
hope you enjoyed the competition amongst the local schools. We would
like to extend our appreciation to Mrs Vekic, Mrs Kim, Mrs Mahmud and

of the climb is RM200 payable to the Seri Insan School Office before

 Emma
and Ida
- This is the
last week Emma and Ida, our Swedish visitors, will be spending at the
school. Next week they will be taking a well-deserved holiday. We thank
them for all their help around school and hope that they have found the
experience useful and enjoyable. Emma and Ida will attend both the Primary
and Secondary assemblies next week to say goodbye.

- Staff
Training
- On Tuesday,
the teachers had an in-service training day. They looked at recent
developments in teaching and learning focusing on teaching strategies and
student skills. This very useful training that challenged the teachers to
become more imaginative and effective was organized and led by Ms Gregory.
Our thanks go to her. I’m sure that all of our students will be
reaping the benefits soon as their teachers put into practice what they
have learnt.

- Danum
Valley – Marc Hughes Reports
- Every field
trip is lots of fun. At first
I didn’t want to go but I am glad I went to Danum Valley.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t see the clouded leopard or
Sumatran rhino! But, hey, you can’t have it all!
The trip was very exciting and it made me look forward to see the
start of the new day. Sadly
our trip of fun and exciting activities ended too fast.
But we did bring back some memories, luckily some of these memories
have been caught on video which includes some footage worthy of the best
comedy shows, and pictures that will remind everyone of this beautiful
encounter with nature. Of course on the video are the outstanding
presentations which took form and were presented
to a high standard over the course of only three days.
-
- This trip
wouldn’t have been so fantastic if it wasn’t for the contributions of
the following people: Mrs Lamb, Mrs Marsh, Mrs Thomsen, Mrs Hamilton, Mr
Dickinson and Ms Stansfield. The
Sabah Nature Club’s Mr Omar and Danum Valley’s Prof Mike
were a great source of information and made
sure we learnt a lot about the
forest. I would like to say a
big thank you to the great people above on behalf of all the students who
went on the trip.
