Message from the Head of Secondary, Mr. Brian Irving
‘There’s always something going on’ may be viewed in many ways. In an ever optimistic way, I’d like to this of this as a positive affirmation of the number of events our staff organise for the benefit of the students in Secondary.
Last week alone, we have had a Year 8/9 Shakespeare Workshop, a number of games fixtures and a larger than anticipated University Fair and Preparation for University Presentations. In addition to normal lessons and ECA, staff are offering Intervention Sessions for Year 11 and Year 13 students who need some extra support and guidance in preparation for the forthcoming examinations. Students are being identified and personally ‘invited’ to attend these sessions at lunchtimes and after school. My thanks, on behalf of the student body, go to all staff who work tirelessly to ensure that the experiences of the students are the very best they can be.
From Head of Primary, Mrs. Rachel Perkins
Dear Parent,
we have enjoyed yet another busy week in both Early Years and Primary, especially as the Primary enjoyed their annual Sports Day. It was wonderful to see so many of you join us for this popular event. The children competed in a very professional manner and many medals were won on the day. Many congratulations to the Blue Sharks for winning the event and a huge thank you goes to the whole staff and Mr Bond for their support which made this day a great experience for the children.
This week we hope you can join us celebrating Chinese New Year and I am looking forward to seeing all the children dressed up in their red clothes on Friday.
Have a great week!
best wishes
Rachel
Year 7 students have been learning about textures and mark making this year and have used these skills to render their own versions of Van Gogh’s masterpieces.
The U13 Girls Football team traveled to Sky Kicks football ground to face Wells in their first match of the season on Tuesday.
An excited team took to the pitch and, in a frantic first half, were drawing 1-1 after 10 minutes with a goal from Catalina. Wells was a mix of experience and new additions, using their experienced players to score their second goal, ending the first half 1-2.
The girls took to the pitch in the second half still energized and keen for a second goal. Catalina, Waii and Cartoon were all pushing forward to make it happen, though unfortunately unsuccessful.
The girls thoroughly enjoyed this game and are looking forward to the next.

Week 2, game 2!
The U13 boy’s, second football game of the season would demonstrate if the players had taken heed of their coach’s advice after an initial 1-1 draw with another International School. The only perceived area of weakness was the player’s level of self belief! Would this game prove to be the turning point? Could our players produce a performance that is reflective of all their hard work and commitment?
The answer is, yes! The team started well with some calculated attacks; the defence looked organised and Plub was our anchor, a fine example of a goalkeeper, standing dominantly between the sticks! Regents took an early lead through Khawklong’s excellent centre forward scavenging effort. The score line remained the same until after the break when a lapse in concentration enabled the visitors to sneak 2 goals, which put them back in contention. The spirit and strength of the Regent’s team shone through. A brace from Ann-Ann; a sublime shot from Captain Tor and a wonder strike from Gain ensured that the team recorded a fine 5-2 win. We must retain such a sense of belief in our remaining games. Tor’s fine leadership promotes, “Every player is a captain; every captain a leader; strong leadership equals direction”!

TISAC Primary Arts Day took place last Friday and it was a great success. Mrs Lyng and Miss Love took 7 children to St Stephen’s International School. They were Peem, Nano, Gino, Popiang, Albert, Wan Xing and Harry. They all performed very well in all the activities.

We have started to think about making choices and doing simple surveys in maths this week. We found out which sports day activity we liked the best – running or hurdles and represented this in a simple Venn diagram. We made up our own surveys too and questioned our friends to see what they liked best.
