Grade 6 Celebration!

May 8, 2013

Dear Grade 6 Parents,

Please find attached an updated plan for the Grade 6 celebration. Key changes include individual presentation of certificates to students and one musical item sung by the whole Grade 6 cohort. Thank you for taking the time to provide valuable feedback. Although individual presentation of certificates is time consuming, we understand this is a symbolic moment that needs attention.

Planning of the event is now underway. If you are are intending to join us, please use the following link to register your attendance for the assembly and/or lunch. G6 Celebration Parent Registration.

 

10AM-11AM

A celebration assembly will be held in the LLAC theatre. The assembly will include:

  • The presentation of two prestigious awards: The Alan Dick Spirit Award and The CISPA Pursuit of Learning Award
  • Student speeches
  • Grade level song
  • Presentation of certificates

No formal seating arrangements will be made for families. A section of the Auditorium will be allocated and we invite you to attend if you are able.

11-12PM

Following this assembly, students, parents and faculty will move to the LLAC lobby for a school-hosted BBQ lunch. Photo opportunities will be available in a designated area with a photographer for those who wish to commemorate this moment.

12-2:15PM

After lunch, students will move to the small gymnasium for a parent-planned event with a variety of fun activities to participate in.

As it is a regular school day, students are expected to be in uniform for this event i.e., short-sleeved white shirts and khaki pants/skirts, black shoes.  The school will cover the cost of the event and will not request any additional monies from families.

 

Should you have any inquiries, please contact Linda Parnsalu, Vice Principal at 2525 7088 or lindaparnsalu@cdnis.edu.hk. We look forward to seeing you at the Grade 6 Celebration.

 

Yours truly,

 

Dylan Hughes

Lower School Principal

The Life of Pi @ CDNIS

Pi is an irrational number as it cannot be expressed exactly and thus, its decimal representation never ends. Some say that Pi has been calculated to more than one trillion digits beyond its decimal point! The infinite nature of Pi makes it a fun challenge to memorize and calculate. So thinking about this, how do [...]
