News Update

Hi, only 6 weeks to go till the end of school here, and everything is very busy busy busy – and am sure it’s crazy where you are as well.

We are in the throws of developing our language policy, working on an IT Vision, on the weekend we hosted a ‘Scholars Cup’ tournament and last Friday students organized a no shoe day, to build sensitivity to poverty with students and staff donating old shoes in good condition to a local charity. And of course there’s lots more, makes my head spin just writing it down! - and exams, reports. PYP Exhibition and MYP Personal Project coming up....

Great to see the New Teacher website, growing and people registering on the Ning (see the Q&A link) - with lots of good questions being asked and lots of great advice and support happening! If you haven’t joined up yet, just go to the link and register – its worth it.

The Ning is also hosting a great  photo gallery of living in Jakarta, our schools and events, holiday destinations and lots more! There’s a new School Tour slide show that is really nice at giving a feel for our  award winning facilities at BSD, and showing to your friends and family.

In the next few days we hope to have some new houses go up on the website, a couple of them from current teachers who are leaving.

Watch out for news coming soon from Martin Leicht, our IT Director about your laptops and IT services at SWA/JWA and some tips to prepare you for transition from our counselor Deb Towner.

Catch you on the site!

Cheers
John
