Make Hay While the Sun is Shining!

Exams, CAS, extended essays ......

It might feel just now that there is a lot to think about.  You are supposed to be around half way - if not more, through your CAS.  You are supposed to be writing extended essays and be about half way through that.  Then, to top it off, you are supposed to prepare for exams at the end of May.  Just as Spring is arriving and you really want to be outside making hay - metaphorically speaking of course.  I can say that most of you are in a good position with CAS.  I have spent the last few weeks interviewing people to check progress and found that you are well on the way to satisfying the CAS requirements. Please make sure you follow up on the points that we talked about as that will ensure that you do not fall behind.  It's really about getting on top of it now and not waiting, as next term you will not have so much time.  Make good progress now and you will thank yourself for it later on.

Theatre Performance a success

On Friday, many of us were lucky to see a very successful creativity experience.  Alexane directed a play with actors from the MYP and presented it to a large audience in the auditorium.  It was an fascinating story about monkeys writing Hamlet.  I hope that more of us will get a chance to see a repeat performance in the near future.  Well done Alexane.

Rhino Event

The Rhino preservation group has decided to hold an event at the beginning of next term and are looking for acts, art, and music to present.  If you have a budding ambition to be on stage, this is your chance.  Come to the meeting next week on Thursday or let one of the group members know that you would like to be part of this fund raiser.  

Sports Club

David and William's sports club is off to a good start and they are always looking for new members.  They are recording their progress on a vlog which you can watch on youtube.  You even see how to do different exercises.  Subscribe to their SIS Sports Group for regular updates and fun viewing.  This is their latest video.


Amnesty:  Run with Pride

Some of the students in the Amnesty group will be helping out at this fun event.  It is being held in Rålambshovs Park on Kungsholmen on the 22nd May at 15.00.  I know that is the day before your exams - but it is a good chance to run off some of the stress.  You can run 5 or 10 km.  The point the run is to show support for all people no matter what their sexual orientation.  In many countries people are persecuted if they don't fit into the norm and Amnesty is working to improve rights for all people.  You can register at: amnestyloppet-run-with-pride.  The cost is 100kr.  



Have a good and sunny week.
