Dear Parents, Book Week has been a wonderful experience throughout ISHCMC as parents, students and teachers wore costumes, read to students, and shared some of their favourite books of all time. If Book Week wasn’t enough, we had our first-ever 3-way conferences. Attendance was very high and I personally thank all for attending. If you did not have an opportunity to meet with your child's teacher, please contact the classroom teacher in order to book an appointment. We have had a number of students bringing unhealthy snack to school. In order to help provide a balanced diet for students, we ask you to please make sure students come to school with a snack that will provide children with the diet they need to succeed at school. A huge thank you to parents who fought the poor weather on Thursday and made it to our coffee morning on how to support learning at home. Due to the inability of many parents to make the coffee morning, we will re-run the session this coming Thursday (Nov 14th) at 8am in the ICT lab. We hope you can make it. Also remember that our primary production will take place next week on Thursday and Friday night, we hope to see you there. Have a great weekend!

Stingray Swimming Gala
Halloween
Book Week Quotes and Photos
Swimming Gala Last week was the swimming gala for Stingrays, it was ISHCMC VS Saigon Pearl Each swim was 25 meters. It looked really cold but I think ISHCMC is winning we had lots of parents. I know they were cheering and supporting our group. Whoever was in front was really lucky. I wonder what it feels like... hard, easy, tiring. We interviewed some people in the race, these are the people we interviewed: Won Jun, Celie, and Emily. We ask these people some questions. First we ask Won Jun what stroke he
likes and he said that he liked 25m breath stroke because he was fast. Next we asked Celie what was her favorite stroke and Celie said that she liked free style because she was faster at free style. Then we ask Emily how does it feel to win first place, she said the it feel a bit scary and then we ask her another question which is how does the water feel, she said that the water felt weird and cold.
