Australian Consul General Visits AISHK

AISHK was honoured to welcome a visit from Australian Consul-General, Ms Elizabeth Ward and Deputy ConsulGeneral, and AISFL Board Member, Mr Ryan Neelam.

Ms Ward was greeted by the Secondary student leaders and shown around the AISHK campus, visiting some Primary classrooms. A group of our Secondary students were lucky enough to have the Consul-General share and speak to them about her career path and to answer a range of questions, including, “What does a day in the life of your work look like?” The diversity of the Consul-General’s role and those of her team came to light during her talk.

As is customary, we provided our special guests with a sample of our signature AISHK lamingtons from the tuckshop.

We are incredibly fortunate to have the ongoing support of the Australian Consulate and we thank Ms Ward for visiting AISHK. We hope to see you again soon!

Jump Jam Returns!

It was a joy to bring back, in a modified version, the beloved Friday morning Jump Jam sessions! Taking on an exciting new format with House groups organising routines on a fortnightly basis, House Leaders and students from each house decided who would lead up the front on behalf of their house and the playlist order.

Special thanks to the SRC students for leading everyone with the moves to some Jump Jam classics like ‘Baby Shark’ and ‘Kung Fu Fighting’. On a rotational basis, students have enjoyed getting their bodies moving each Friday morning among their peers and teachers, for a great start to the day and end to the week!
