Dates for your diary
Wednesday, 8 January 2020 | 1st day of Spring term |
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the year comes to an end, I want to reflect on an amazing term at SIS, culminating in the SIS Christmas Challenge which took place yesterday. Seeing so many parents, teachers and students taking part together made it the perfect community event to end the school year.
This week has been full of festive activities at SIS, with Christmas performances from EC1 to P2, the SIS Choir Tour and of course the PTA Christmas Market last Saturday. Thank you to the PTA, for their hard work, dedication and time, the Christmas Market was a great event and I enjoyed seeing so many of your there. If you would like to join the PTA to help out at events, they would very much like to hear from you! Please contact ptaevents@sis.gl
This month we have said farewell to Dennis O’Connor. Dennis has led our PTA for the last year and a half and has really helped to increase the size, variety and style of PTA events. I would publicly like to thank him for his time and commitment to SIS, which he has given freely. His work with the Advisory Panel has been both powerful and impactful. Jessica Santos and Abigail Murphy will be taking the reins leading the PTA, and Jessica has kindly offered to step into the Advisory Panel role to represent the parent community.
Additionally, we have also said farewell to Nick Jefferson. Nick has been part of the Advisory Panel since it started three years ago. Over the past two and a half years, Nick has been a strong advocate for traffic safety, has supported the creation of the bus park, the safer walkways around the outside of school and helped us to transition to self management of the cantina. We will be looking to replace Nick on the Advisory Panel and I will be in touch regarding this process in the New Year.
I wish you a wonderful holiday and a fabulous start to 2020! There are lots of exciting projects taking place next year, with the new building and sports facilities starting to take shape and, of course, the much anticipated SotoRox V music festival – follow their plans on both Instagram and Facebook. We look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday 8th January.
Best wishes,
Jak Kearney
