NEWSLETTER OF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SUVA
PRINCIPAL'S REPORT We are just past the mid-point of Term 2, and I am very pleased with the energy and enthusiasm among our students and staff. We are all delighted to be back face-to-face with full programs. We are now at a key point of the year when we, as a school, make some far-reaching decisions about next year and the coming years. I am referring to the up-coming Annual General Meeting, the AGM, for which we desire good parent involvement. The AGM is scheduled for Thursday, 9 June, at 6 p.m. in the school auditorium. Please reserve that time to attend and hear progress reports on the school’s programs, finances, facilities, strategic planning, and general direction. Documents related to the AGM are posted on the school website under the tabs About Us/School Board/AGM 2022. At the AGM, two Board seats will be filled this year and each parent of an ISS student is entitled to vote for those board members. The best way to vote is to attend the AGM and receive a stamped ballot there. However, you may also vote by proxy or electronically. For a proxy vote, you must complete a proxy form (available on the website or at the school office) and turn it in to the office at least one day before the AGM, or by 4 p.m. Wednesday, 8 June.
May 2022 HIGHLIGHTS:
Many of you have enjoyed our children’s Oceans books written and illustrated by our own author, Hannah Nanovu. The third book in that series will be released on World Oceans’ Day, Wednesday, 8 June. The new book is an excellent view into Mangroves and their importance. We hope to have a book release during the school’s Ocean Day celebration with a discounted price and author book signing! They will also be available at the school shop for anyone interested. For any of you planning trips abroad to see family during the three-week term break, these books make excellent gifts for relatives as they are from the school and reflect Fiji life and issues. The next few weeks will be busy as the term winds down. Students will be finishing projects, participating in camps, taking exams, and, of course, thinking about the coming three-week break. Please encourage your children to finish the semester strong to benefit from every opportunity offered, and then I hope you will all enjoy a wonderful family time during the break.
