This visit, part of the accreditation process, provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on how our school lives up to its purpose and guiding statements, particularly in the areas of academic excellence, personal growth, and intercultural understanding. This Preparatory Visit helps the school prepare for the main Team Evaluation Visit that will occur in about 15 months’ time.  \nThe CIS visit was a thorough and collaborative process, engaging students, staff, and parents in meaningful discussions about the strengths and growth areas of our school. From classroom observations to focus groups, the CIS team delved into every aspect of school life. Their purpose was not just to evaluate us against a set of international standards, but to help us identify ways in which we can further enhance the school’s programmes.  \nOne of the central focuses of their visit was about Internationalism, with a focus on how we articulate our commitment to nurturing responsible, compassionate, and globally-minded citizens. With students and staff from a variety of cultural backgrounds, our school thrives as a diverse community where differences are celebrated and respected. The CIS team was impressed by the many opportunities we offer students to engage in meaningful cross-cultural interactions, both within the classroom and through our extracurricular programs. Whether it’s through language learning, collaborative projects, or cultural events, our students are continuously learning to navigate different perspectives, preparing them to become empathetic and effective global citizens. We look forward to further developing these initiatives using their input.  \nAs we reflect on this visit, we are reminded of Psalm 96:3, which urges us to“Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples!”. This verse speaks to our mission of celebrating the diversity within our school community and using it as an opportunity to showcase the richness of God’s creation. It reinforces our commitment to fostering a deep respect and understanding of all cultures, while also serving as a testament to how we can glorify God through unity and compassion.  \nAs we move forward, we are excited to take this feedback and use it to enhance our school community, ensuring that every student who walks through our doors has the tools, heart and mindset to thrive and help others thrive in an interconnected world.  \nGavin Kinch  \nPrincipal  \nIN THIS ISSUE  \nLong Service Award Winners  \nStudy Nights for Year 4 (IGCSE)& Year 6 Students  \nTeacher’s Day with a Decade of Music  Australian Mathematics Competition 2024 Singapore Junior Chemistry Olympiad (SJChO)  \nACS (International) Excels at International Debate Competition  \nChoice to Run 2024  \nChoice to Run with APEX  \nSVM Charity Outreach  \nLSG Visit to Mindsville  \nCookery CCA  \nHigher Education News  \nMid-Autumn Festival Celebrations & Term 3 Birthday Celebration at Oldham Hall  \nOldham Hall Thanksgiving Dinner A Sweet Celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival Inter-House Netball Champions  \nBeat EOY with a Smile!  \nUpcoming Events  \nNEWSLETTER | September 2024  \nSTAFF NEWS NOTICES  \nLong Service Award Winners  \nDuring the Teachers Day celebrations on 30 Aug 2024, the following staff received their Long Service Awards.  \n1.
