Dear Early Years Families,
      
General Information:        

Thank you so much to all the families who joined Student Led Conferences. Our Wolf Cubs showed their learning, abilities, and engagement during SLCs. From single subject to mother tongue, and within the homerooms it was evident the children have grown so much through this academic year!

Next week marks our last UPTA All Parents Meeting of the 2023-24 academic year. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear about what is happening in the school community at large. There will also be a preview of the coming year with regard to staffing and new initiatives. 

Now is an important time of year for the school to make plans for the 2024-25 academic year. The admissions department sent out enrolment reminders to all current families. To secure your seat for next year, please follow up with the admissions survey. We look forward to welcoming our Wolf Cubs into next year!

Martin Grist | Head of Secondary 代理中学校长

20 May– 24 May (Week 35B) 
Dear Parents and Guardians, 

The Year 12s finished their DP exams this week! That marks the end of one month of exams, two years of the Diploma Programme, and, for some students, the end of a lifetime of education at UISG (literally – Ridesh Song joined in 2008!). Well done to the Year 12s on completing those exams, and to Mr. Kyle Gray, the DP Coordinator, on leading them through this. We look forward to their Graduation next week on May 25th at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. 

The Year 10 students also finished their MYP eAssessments this week. Their focus and dedication going into these exams was very impressive and is a testament to the preparation they received from their teachers and the MYP Coordinator, Ms. Xochitl Gonzalez. 

Year 9 students have been working on their Community Project for the last few months. The Community Project seeks to engage students in issues of local, regional and global importance, and to take action on that issue. Students presented their projects on Thursday this week, and it was impressive to listen to their understanding of the issues involved, and also to hear the ways in which they hope to make a difference. Students as agents of their own actions is exactly what we hope to see in an IB education. Congratulations to them, and to Ms. Frederique Lemesle and Ms. Minette Coetzee who guided them throughout the process. 

Looking Ahead

• May 20-31 – Year 11 end of year exams 
• May 24 – Athletics and Activities Awards assembly, 8:30 – 9:15 in the MFH – parents are invited 
• May 24 – UPTA All Parent meeting 10:00 – 12:00 in the Admin Hall 
• May 24 – Managing Screen Time – Balancing the Digital Life and Real Life 
• May 25 – Year 12 Graduation at the Ritz-Carlton 
• June 3rd – Year 10 MYP Completion Ceremony 
• June 7th – 9th – PACMUN student-run MUN conference 
• June 11th – Group 4 Science project (Year 11) 
• June 13th – Secondary Sports Day 
• June 14th – Last day of school 

5月20日至5月24日(第35B周) 

亲爱的家长和监护人， 

12年级学生本周结束了他们的DP考试！这标志着一个月的考试以及两年的DP课程结束，对一些学生来说，在UISG的人生学途也结束了(字面意思是- Ridesh Song同学于2008年加入!)感谢12年级的同学们完成了这些考试，感谢DP Mr. Kyle Gray带领他们完成了这些考试。我们期待着下周5月25日在丽思卡尔顿酒店举行的毕业典礼。 

10年级学生也在本周完成了MYP评估。他们对这些考试的专注和投入，证明了他们从老师和MYP协调员Ms. Xochitl Gonzalez那里获得充分的准备。 

在过去的几个月里，9年级的学生一直在做他们的社区项目。社区项目旨在让学生参与地方、区域和全球重要问题，并就这些问题采取行动。本周四，学生们展示了他们的项目，倾听他们对所涉及问题的理解，以及他们希望做出改变的方式，给人留下了深刻的印象。学生作为自己行为的代理人正是我们希望在IB教育中看到的。祝贺他们，也祝贺在整个过程中指导他们的Ms. Frederique Lemesle和Ms. Minette Coetzee。
