Dear Parents
Primary Department: Parent Teacher
Interviews
School Uniform: T-shirts After
an initial delay, the collared t-shirts that are part of the new school
uniform are available in all sizes (small, medium, large, extra-large)
through the school PTA. Order
forms are available from the school office.
The
PTA has arranged a High Tea at the Sutera Harbour Resort to welcome new
families to the school. All parents are invited to attend this. It will be
held at Sutera Harbour on Friday 5th October at 4.00pm. Sutera Harbour Sprint Triathlon
Sutera Harbour is organising a sprint triathlon on 14th
November at 8.00am. This will be held at the Sutera Harbour Resort and the
course will be within the confines of the resort itself. The main emphasis
of this event is to introduce triathlon racing as a healthy recreational
activity. The school is encouraging as many pupils, staff and parents to
participate in this. See details on the school notice board. School Photos A photographer will be in school on Wednesday 3rd October to take individual and class photographs. The photographer will also take photos of brothers and sisters together if requested to. There will be a class photo, individual photos and passport photos. The cost of the package photos is RM25 per pupil. Parents are requested to have this paid to the Office by Wednesday 3rd. |
Grade Cards All
of our secondary students will be bringing home their grade cards today.
The grade cards show your child’s progress since the beginning of
term. The students have been graded according to attainment and effort by
their teachers. Please read the grade descriptors on the back of the card for
an explanation of the grades. A “3C” approximates to satisfactory progress
so any A’s or B’s for effort are to be commended. Please sign the cards in
the box provided and send them back to school on Monday. If you have any
questions about the grade cards please contact me, Kevin Davies (Head of
Secondary), at school. Thank you.-
Change of Day for Sports Club As
part of the build up to the Sutera Harbour Triathlon, the Sports Club which
was to be held on Mondays has been changed to Thursdays so that
students are able to join the swimming training at Sutera Harbour. Parents are
requested to make arrangements to drop off and collect their child from there. WWF: October Promotions WWF,
of which Kinabalu International School is a member, will be organising various
events throughout October related to the theme of Mountains of Malaysia. The
school will have a stall selling WWF products as well as organise an
exhibition based upon the stated theme. There will also be a competition to
design the most attractive 'Collection Box' for the street appeal.
Please refer to the attached for further information. IGCSE Examinations Our
Year 11 students are now involved in their IGCSE Art examination. They will
complete the rest of their exams in the remaining subjects after half term. We
wish them every success in these. Year 2&3 Japanese School Visit Our Year 2 & 3 class went on a visit to the Japanese School which is situated on Jalan Tuaran. This was to further promote ties between our two schools. By all accounts our students had a very enjoyable and informative time at the school. Thank you to Ms Dennis for organising this. |
A
letter will go home today inviting parents in the Primary Department to
make an appointment to meet their child's classroom teacher. The purpose
of this meeting is to simply open lines of communication between home and
school. Because these interviews are taking place early in the academic
year, the teachers will only be in a position to discuss initial
observations; however they will be keen to discuss these to help establish
homework routines and the like at home.
