Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students,
We have had a busy month of hybrid schooling and the uncertainties continue to occupy our minds on a daily basis. With our positive mindsets, we’ve enjoyed a productive start to Semester Two with more face-to-face teaching and learning and a return to sports and after school activities. We continue to work with our committees to prepare for the Council of International School Preparatory Evaluation Domain A report submission on 18 July 2022 and final report submission on 29 August 2022. The final accreditation visit remains scheduled for February/March 2024. We are also working with the International Baccalaureate to prepare for a multi-programme evaluation visit scheduled for 20-22 March 2024. Our self-study questionnaire deadline is 1 December 2023 and the preliminary review documentation submission deadline is 15 September 2023. Our newly formed ASAC Committee continues to promote and coordinate opportunities for our students to participate in experiences like the Music Festival, Photography Competition and the upcoming Esports Tournament. Our Year 13 students continue to receive the necessary support and guidance from Mr. Todd and the DP teachers as they finalize internal assessments and university applications. Graduation planning is well underway and we look forward to acknowledging and celebrating their achievements on Saturday, 4 June. Our Year 11 students will receive further details about Cambridge examinations along with registration details, examination fee information and important deadlines. Students in Years 10, 12 and in the Middle School (Years 7 – 9) continue to do an incredible job of maintaining focus and concentration during hybrid learning. Students are encouraged to reach out to their Advisors if additional support is needed and parents are also encouraged to communicate with Advisors (in the first instance) if their son/daughter is experiencing academic, social, emotional or psychological challenges during this time. Finally, I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of our student leaders who have been working behind the scenes to coordinate Mental Health Awareness Week from 2 – 4 February. Please visit the STUCO Instagram and follow all of the action. Furthermore, the next edition of the student online magazine, SCREAM zine, will be released next month and well worth a read. Sincerely, Shawn Hutchinson Principal
