Dear DCIS Parents,

I was sad to miss yesterday's Remembrance Day service at Kranji War Memorial as I was attending the annual FOBISIA leadership conference, I've been told that it was very moving and I have seen some lovely photos. Our choir did a fantastic job signing with the other British schools in Singapore and Johor. Today at 11.11 we observed a minute of silence, with a live playing of the ‘Last Post’. This was very moving and I am very grateful to Mr Dwyer for playing the bugle.

This week is Kindness week in school, during the week our students will participate in a range of activities promoting kindness and awareness, including pledges of ‘pay it forward’ and random acts of kindness.

Mr Burren and the Learning Support team look forward to welcoming parents to tomorrow's Pathway Strategies workshop, 8.45-9.30am in Cooper Hall.

Wednesday, 13th November, is House Day. The theme for the Secondary day is collaboration and the students will participate in a series of dance workshops, whilst the Primary students will focus on Kindness. We ask that all students wear their house shirts, PE shorts/leggings and trainers.

Well done to our Cross Country teams, who participated in the ACSIS Cross Country Festival last week. A special mention to Emma in Year 4 who finished 2nd in her race and to the Under 14 boys team who finished 3rd.

Finally, the DCA is looking for classes or group of friends to run stalls at the Christmas Fayre, 7th December, please sign up here if you're able to support this wonderful event.
