Dear DCIS Parents,

Many thanks to parents who supported the DCA Sports Day on Saturday. Unfortunately I was attending my old school's (BIS Hanoi) graduation so I missed the afternoon but I have had some lovely feedback from Ms Good and some of the parents who attended. Once again, I am grateful to the DCA committee and their volunteers for their hard work.

I look forward to seeing Primary parents this afternoon and tomorrow evening for the Parent Teacher Conferences, they give a fantastic opportunity to talk to teachers about how well your child is progressing. 

Ms Hooper and her team are into the final stage of rehearsals and preparations for the Production on Wednesday and Thursday – Victus will have café open and there will be refreshments available at the interval. If you haven’t got your tickets there are literally a handful left, they cost $10 and can be obtained from Reception – all proceeds to Lombok Charity Peduli Anak Foundation.

The last week of iGCSE exams take place this week – this finishes off 7 weeks of public (IB and iGCSE) exams – we are very grateful to the whole school community for their support during this time, especially being quiet around the Cooper Hall when our larger exams are on. On the subject of examinations we are very proud to announce that two of our students have received awards from our iGCSE examination body, Pearson. Emma earned highest mark in Asia in Global Citizenship and Sam earned highest mark in Singapore in Geography. This is the second year in a row we have won both of these awards so a mighty congratulations to Sam and Emma and to their teachers Ms Hyland and Mr Woodhall.

A reminder that ECAs finish on Friday.

Have a great week.
