Volume 5 Newsletter of International School Suva
Principal’s Report Dear Parents, Staff, Students, and Friends of ISS, We received good news recently that the US Embassy has once more awarded a grant to International School Suva as they have done for a number of years. The award this year is $68,000USD. We appreciate this support and certainly could not provide the programs and services we do without that assistance. Thank you! In another thank you to the US Embassy, this past year they also gave ISS a grant to upgrade our campus security through a perimeter CCTV system. That installation has just been completed and is operating making the ISS campus more secure than ever. The system provides HD monitoring of all exterior walls and potential access points to the campus and allows our guards to monitor a larger area of the campus around the clock. Please note both the operating monitors and a sample of the camera installations.

Fun Day was a great success with plenty of food and activities. As promised by PTFA, after a small donation to the SPCA, all proceeds are being donated to the Surf Club school for equipment and outdoor activities. Thank you to all who helped make this a “fun” day for everyone! Many of you have been hearing about the school’s investigation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP). Thank you to all who have given input about this to help us. As a summary, we were a MYP school a few years ago and dropped the program for a variety of reasons. Currently we are an IB school for Primary with the PYP and Years 11 and 12 with the DP. The gap between Year 5 and Year 11 is managed by two curriculum systems, a Year 6-8 school-based program which is very aligned with the MYP, and the Year 9-10 IGCSE program. We are looking at how to offer the best program for our students that has consistency, high standards, external review, and preparation for our students’ future life. School staff strongly supports adopting the MYP. The family survey likewise was very supportive as the graph below shows regarding the overall question of whether families support a change to MYP. This survey was sent to all Year 5-Year 9 parents: As always, our focus must be on what is best for students. We hope to decide soon about this change as this adoption, if we do it, will require considerable work and planning. Many have wondered about the construction happening behind the breezeway barrier. We are continuing to develop that space with retaining wall construction and preparation for a future building. The work is proceeding well and the site will allow for needed space some time in the coming years. This is a picture of the site from behind the wall! Parents should be aware that there may be a new requirement that all children who reside in Fiji for 189 days or more must have a TIN Number. There are significant penalties for not doing this. Please check on this possible requirement to make sure you are compliant with government regulations. This note is certainly not legal advice, but we are told there has been a change. Finally, we are entering a time of year with exams and Year 5 exhibition, so I encourage all of us to be particularly supportive of our children and be alert for any signs of stress or anxiety. We have excellent counseling staff to assist with any serious issues, but in general, we should all continue to be positive, encouraging, helpful, and caring to all our students. We believe in supporting the whole child, so a healthy balance of academics, healthy diet, regular activity, adequate sleep, positive social-emotional relationships, and strong family is important. Thanks for being a great school community! Stephen Cathers Children’s Advocate (and Principal/Head of School)

SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY: YEAR 11 & 12 Every Thursday afternoon our Year 11 & 12 students look forward to taking action outside of the classroom. Some of these actions take place in school while the rest take place in other parts of town from Nadera, Qaranivalu, Delkusha, USP, and the Suva area. Throughout Term 2, students have progressively refined their projects, learning as they go and ensuring that what they are taking to the community is needed and may brighten up the community life. Reflecting upon their actions is just as important to us, as this allows students to better understand themselves and better understand their surroundings. Last week, the visiting students from New Caledonia were given a taste of our community and service weekly sessions. They all seemed to have fitted in very quickly in our different activities with French games being played with the children of Qaranivalu, in 9 Miles, others gave advice to the Red Cross group on improving their video awareness recordings, and the more artistic ones were seen drawing and painting at the Delkusha orphanage and in Nadera with the Kindy building group. We knew that we had spread the “empathy bug” among these French students with a “we felt useful” reflection posted on their school FB page. This is testament that service to the community has no language barriers! Homes of Hope project: The first project for this Homes of Hope group is to repaint a wall. The intention is to brighten up the workspace for the ladies of this home. Jennifer’s reflection this week was “We spent the afternoon scrubbing one of the walls, and doing a general cleanup of their classroom. The other 3 students, Veena, Jade and Elanie (from New Caledonia) spent the afternoon teaching basic computer skills to some of the teenage girls at the orphanage/hostel”.
Saint John Bosco kindy building project Saint John Bosco Primary School in Nepani had recently opened its kindergarten within their compound and our group decided to upgrade their kindergarten by bringing life to their walls by painting it and also building them a playground so they could run around and play in. The group consists of thirteen year 11 students and one year 12 student and all of us are always eager to go to the kindergarten every Thursday afternoons. We have received tremendous feedback from the teachers of the kindergarten and also from the students and this has always made us feel proud as the service that we are providing is able to put smiles on the children's’ faces. Mereseini Leano & Kelemedi Gukirewa Bright Little Ones This Bright Little Ones group is seen every Thursday hurrying off with books, coloring activities and art supplies to a kindergarten that is located in Qaranivalu, 9 Miles. Every week the children are kept in suspense when our students arrive, but they are sure that there will be singing, playing, reading and coloring at every session.
Mental Wellness group: Our Mental Wellness group has planned 3 major projects for the year. The first is a short story competition where students are asked to write a short story on one of six themes related to mental health and wellness. Cash prizes were offered for the best three stories and the winners of this competition will be announced at the literacy assembly this week. The mental wellness forum has also been launched called “The vISSion” which aims to bolster awareness on mental wellness through a digital platform (https://thevissionforum.tumblr.com/). At the end of the year, look out for “Wellness Week” in term 4. Expect a week of activities to encourage positivity and mental wellness throughout our school community as we feel like this is an important area that is lacking focus yet is so vital to our health. Delkusha Project Working with the Dilkusha Children's Home in Nausori, this group is helping rebuild and redecorate some of the older rooms in the orphanage. The students have been working on an ocean-themed mural in their nursery and are hoping to extend this redecorating program to their dining area. The students have received a lot of positive feedback from the home matrons as well as the children. In Jose Santos own words, “We feel extremely fortunate to have been able to positively impact the lives of the people who live and work at the home. This project has definitely been a constructive learning experience for all of us.” Students involved: Jose Santos, Shou Izumi, Emily Gibson, George Siddell, Mareikura Waiti, Oliver Sinclair, Hayden Wekina, Kenneth Bicknell-Brown, and Sheldon Chow

China Trip In week 9, 10 and through the holidays of term 2, the Year 8 & Year 9 Chinese studies went to China for a two-week trip. They practiced their language skills and immersed themselves in the culture. It was an amazing experience. In Shanghai, students experienced a fast-paced life and a modern metropolis; in Beijing, they saw a long history of culture and urban civilization; in Shenyang, they celebrated the “Dragon Boat Festival” with local students and felt and experienced the traditional Chinese festivals; in Xi'an, the terracotta warriors and horses amazed them with the wisdom and skill of the working people of ancient China. What were our highlights, according to students? Typhaine: My highlight of this China trip was when we went to visit the Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, I took many pictures, and visited it with my two best friends; I will forever cherish this memory. I also love having conversations in Chinese. Hiona: My overall highlight of this China trip was the journey to the Great wall of China. This experience came under learning the Chinese history and exploring the construction of the site. Carmina: My China trip highlight was bonding with the year 9s. This trip gave the two year levels to get to know each other and bond. I was able to make good friends with a few year 9s and going to the different places we visited such as the Great Wall and the terracotta warriors with everyone was definitely the favourite of mine. Jade: my China trip highlight was being exposed to a new culture, I also loved the terracotta warriors and great wall, as it felt like i was a part of such amazing slices of history! Overall, the entire trip was one big highlight and it was an experience I wouldn’t change for the world!
Counselor’s Corner
Ni sa bula vinaka! This term is off to a great start here at ISS. The students had the opportunity to attend USP’s Open Day. The students engaged with current students and visited booths highlighting the different academic programs. They toured the campus and visited important locations on campus such as the library, lecture halls and computer labs. The students seemed to enjoy the experience.
The Bullying Prevention program in secondary is ramping up. I’ve had the opportunity to visit classrooms and engage the students in discussion around bullying and how we can make everyone feel welcomed and engaged at ISS. The students have been encouraged to stand up and speak out. Bystanders, those who witness bullying but don’t intervene or seek assistance, are a major factor in the growth and spread of bullying. I’ve shared with our students the expectation that we will look after one another and stand up for one another. The next phase of the Bullying Prevention program is to review the policy and this will be done with a small council including a student representative, faculty, and other stakeholders. If there is a parent that would like to contribute on the council please reach out to me. I would love to have a parent’s perspective in this process. I’ve visited some classrooms to discuss time management and stress management. These two topics are very important in general but especially with mock exams coming up soon. There’s an American saying coined by Benjamin Franklin that states, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” What this basically means is we should seek to prevent and prepare for things rather than wait to react. I’ve talked to the students about managing their time wisely in order to lessen stress as well as implementing a self- care regiment, making time for relaxation. I know we all think “Why do young people need to plan to relax? They’re pretty good at that already.” However, lack of planning for down time leads to procrastination and susceptibility to distractions. When the brain doesn’t rest it will force you to rest (i.e. day dreaming and mental blocks). If the students can plan their breaks from studying they will be more productive and the study time more effective. Students have to prioritize their self-care as they do their studies if not it will happen more haphazardly and at the most inconvenient times, say during exams when they are feeling overly stressed and overwhelmed. I’ve also created Google Classrooms for each high school grade level. These classrooms are meant to give students guidance in their career/ university planning. Thus far, Year 9 has been given assignments to help them figure out how they best learn. They will use this information to structure their studies in and out of the classroom. Years 10 and 11 have begun to explore career interests and what fields and work environments best suit their personalities. Year 12 has also been given the tools to explore various career fields in the case they have not felt as though they’ve found something that suits their interests and abilities. I have shared with them tools to help them locate the best university match for them based upon their projected scores and the universities’ admission scores as well as “best fit” (i.e. school environment, location, extracurricular activities, etc…). I’ve been able to meet with some of the year 12 students individually to further discuss their postsecondary goals. All in all it’s been a great start to the term and I foresee great things coming. As always if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via email, ccross@iss.school.fj, or by phone 3393300 ext 1045. I look forward to speaking with you. Vinaka vaka levu!
Early Childhood Education Week (Week 2)
Our Early Years students have had a busy introduction to the term with two celebrations already done and dusted: 100 days of school and Early Childhood Education Week! Early Childhood Education Week is celebrated annually Fiji wide, to recognise the importance of quality educational experiences as the foundation of successful learning throughout life. A quality programme for our youngest learners includes plenty of opportunities for children to learn through play and to try new things in a safe and supportive environment. At ISS, Early Childhood Education Week was celebrated by our staff, students and parents of students in ECH1, ECH2 and Reception. The children designed and painted their own T-shirts and began the week with a parade in the Primary School, cheered on by our Primary students. In addition to their regular lessons, students in the Early Years enjoyed collaborative play with the parachutes, lots of gross motor play on the PMP equipment, sandpit and mud kitchen as well as singing, dancing, painting, planting seeds in our garden and water play. We finished the week with a visit from the Fiji television film crew, some rotations with mixed age groups in the Early Childhood area and some cake! It was a great start to the term and we look forward to next year’s celebrations too.

FIFTEEN NATURAL WAYS TO LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure is a dangerous condition that can damage your heart. It affects one in three people in the US and 1 billion people worldwide. If left uncontrolled, it raises your risk of heart disease and stroke. But there's good news. There are a number of things you can do to lower your blood pressure naturally, even without medication. Here are 15 natural ways to combat high blood pressure. 1. Walk and exercise regularly Exercise is one of the best things you can do to lower high blood pressure. Walking just 30 minutes a day can help lower your blood pressure. More exercise helps reduce it even further. 2. Reduce your sodium intake In many studies, salt has been linked to high blood pressure and heart events, like stroke. Cut down on your salt intake and avoid processed foods. 3. Drink less alcohol Drinking alcohol can raise blood pressure. Limit your drinking to no more than one drink a day for women, two for men.
4. Eat more potassium-rich foods Potassium is an important mineral. It helps your body get rid of sodium and ease pressure on your blood vessels.To get a better balance of potassium to sodium in your diet, focus on eating fewer processed foods and more fresh, whole foods. 5. Cut back on caffeine Caffeine can cause a short-term spike in blood pressure, although for many people it does not cause a lasting increase. 6. Learn to manage stress Stress is a key driver of high blood pressure. Bottom Line: Chronic stress can contribute to high blood pressure. Finding ways to manage stress can help. 7. Eat dark chocolate or cocoa Dark chocolate and cocoa powder contain plant compounds that help relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
8. Lose weight Losing weight can significantly lower high blood pressure. This effect is even greater when you exercise. 9. Quit smoking There's conflicting research about smoking and high blood pressure, but what is clear is that both increase the risk of heart disease.
10. Cut added sugar and refined carbs Refined carbs, especially sugar, may raise blood pressure. Some studies have shown that low-carb diets may help reduce your levels. 11. Eat berries Berries are rich in polyphenols, which can help lower blood pressure and the overall risk of heart disease.
12. Try meditation or deep breathing Both meditation and deep breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps slow your heart rate and lower blood pressure. 13. Eat calcium-rich foods Calcium-rich diets are linked to healthy blood pressure levels. Get calcium through dark leafy greens and tofu, as well as dairy. 14. Take natural supplements Several natural supplements have been investigated for their ability to lower blood pressure. 15. Eat foods rich in magnesium Magnesium is an important mineral that helps regulate blood pressure. Find it in whole foods, such as legumes and whole grains.
Get a good night's sleep Sleep is important for our bodies to recover and recharge. Without it, it can be hard to concentrate and remember things. It can also make it hard to keep up your energy levels. Sleep is food for the brain and is essential to your wellbeing, just like the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. To help you get a good night's sleep, it's helpful to:
get up at the same time each morning
avoid too much caffeine or alcohol late in the afternoon
write your worries down before going to bed so you can work on some solutions the next day
do something relaxing for about 30 minutes before going to bed
avoid naps in the day
get up after 15-20 minutes if you can’t sleep rather than staying in bed feeling restless – return to bed when you feel more relaxed and sleepy
get active every day.
started in Week 2 and will end on Tuesday September 11th. Activities run from 2.30pm to 3.50pm.
Inter-House Athletics The culmination of this terms work is the Athletics Carnival. As such, the students have been busy learning the skills needed to successfully engage in this whole school event. Training is underway at the ANZ stadium during Physical Education classes. All students are learning the Jumps including Long jump and High jump, the throws of Discus, Javelin and the Shot-put along with the sprints 100m, 200m 400m, and Middle Distance of 800m and 1500m. The students are displaying high levels of enthusiasm and application to these technical skills. With increased participation and training, we are hoping to see an increase in the number of students qualifying for the Chow Games.
For those looking to improve their athletic abilities, there are a number of simple exercise you can do. These include: The plank: From a lying position, bring your elbows under your body and arms below your face. Put your weight on your forearms and toes and bring your body up to a level position. Hold this position for as long as you can. Try not to sag in the middle or arch your back when tired. Rather contract your core muscles and breathe normally. Skipping: Skip with a rope, using alternating feet, feet together or a combination of both to develop fast twitch muscle fibers. Start at 1 minute and build up time and intensity as you develop your skill and fitness. Students in Year 11 and 12 can enhance their training by regular track work and lunchtime training. If you are interested in the throws, please see Mr Barons. Throws training will occur on Tuesday and Thursday lunchtimes, all welcome. Students are encouraged to keep up the good work! Mr Barons Physical Education Teacher Surf Club This semester 6 students aged between 9 and 16 have joined the ISS Surf Club. They will focus on developing their surf skills and water safety while surfing at the local reef break, Suva Lighthouse. Students will enjoy progressing their skills in a fun and safe environment with the support of their teachers/coaches. They will also be encouraged to participate in upcoming national competitions. This a great opportunity for the development of surfing in Fiji and to encourage others to take up the sport.
Primary Student Led Conferences and PYP Exhibition On Wednesday 5th September primary will hold their annual student led conferences and PYP Exhibition. This is a celebration of the work that students have done during the year and a chance for parents to come and see their child’s work and experience the kind of learning engagements that children participate in on a daily basis. More information will follow and a parent information session is planned for Friday 24th August. Please see the Primary Bytes seesaw page for more information. What are the roles of the participants? Student: Be on time, focus on talking about the process of the prepared work, and speak clearly. Parent: Be on time for the conference, be positive, be concerned, be interested, ask questions, listen and be prepared to give a brief comment to encourage your child at the conclusion of the conference. Teacher: Manage the time support and clarify where necessary.
Year 4M: U.O.I - How we Organize Ourselves Written by Fana, Jade and Charlotte For our U.O.I we have been learning about how trading affects Fiji and where some Fijian made products come from e.g. Sugar comes from Rarawai and Lautoka mills. . On Week 3 Thursday, a guest speaker came to our school to talk about trade, his name is Ovini Ralulu, and is Ms. William’s son. He discussed how we trade, what countries trade with Fiji, and explained some other interesting facts while we were taking notes. We completed some rotations with Ms. Siobhan, Ms. Sala, Ms. Bale and Ms. Srikala to learn more about how money has evolved over time, how we produce goods and provide services. For our Summative assessment, we have to think of a good we can make and sell and make a PowerPoint about what materials we used to create it and present it to a judge.
Fun Day 2018
J'
la Nouvelle Calédonie: visitors with a purpose ...
After months of preparation, a group of 15 students finally took that leap to experience the French culture in the Pacific. Leading up to this, students researched New Caledonia, looked up reasonable prices for flights and accommodations, and did some fundraising in school and at Pure Fiji. A few teachers spoke to our students about administrative requirements when traveling (Ms. Dunbar & Mrs. Karountzos), and Mr. Harris, our Business Studies teacher, spoke to students about fundraising ideas and marketing. Anaseini Hustel, who had just returned from New Caledonia, and representatives from the Alliance Francaise de Suva spoke to our students about everyday life in New Caledonia. Finally, the trip took us on an adventurous journey that covered the Northern Province (Pouembout), the East Coast (Poindimé), and the Southern Province (Nouméa). We would like to sincerely thank the Lycée agricole et général Michel Ricard in Pouembout for opening up his doors to us, allowing us to build relationships with our French speaking neighbors. Our exchange of songs made us feel at home as the song "Go Fiji Go, bring back that Gold from Rio" was serenaded back to us in the middle of Pouembout! Giving back to New Caledonia was also on our itinerary which saw us do some CAS/DOE service work with two local organizations: Replanting with the Centre d'Initiation à l'environnement in Pouembout and a beach cleanup afternoon in Nouméa with CalédoClean. Living, learning and breathing the French language was our main aim so nearly all our presentations and instructions were carried out in French. We were continuously learning the French language about marine life (at the Aquarium des Lagons), about the environment (with Centre d'Initiation à l'environnement & CalédoClean) about the Pacific Islands (at the Pacific Community Headquarters) and about culture, art and history (at the Centre Jean Marie Tjibaou). The discovery of a French speaking High School in Pouembout was total immersion in a teenager’s life, allowing for lasting friendships for our students. The Bastille Day celebrations saw us marching in the lantern parade with the "Nouméens" in the streets of town which culminated with fireworks and the Bal du 14 Juillet at the City Square. And just when we thought we had covered everything, France won the FIFA World cup and that became a real celebration “à la française”!
Year 11 Camp At the beginning of this term, the students in year 11 accompanied by 7 staff members went on a three day hike and camp at the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park in Lautoka. All the students had a great time as the park itself is really beautiful and the weather was awesome. On the first day students went on a small hike to a waterfall, and on the second day all the students hiked up mount Koroyanitu, which is the fourth highest peak in Fiji. Some of the student reflections are attached below: OzayAkbar This camp was my first at ISS, and I'm glad to say it was a good experience. I made strong bonds with my group members, and overall had an enjoyable time. The hikes were tedious and not the easiest thing, but there was confidence and pride in completing the hike. Seeing the view was an incredible feeling and (not to be clichè) breathtaking. We visited a beautiful waterfall, scaled the 4th highest mountain in Fiji, and took showers in freezing cold river water. During the nights we all had a good time laughing about how we almost/did trip or slide, or in some cases both, or we simply hung out and actually got to know each other better. I felt like I actually knew people better at the end of camp, and appreciated all the moments I got to spend with them. From struggling and complaining while on the hike to singing songs at the campfire, eating, and a rather sloppy game of tag, we all were the better for attending the camp. HaydenWekina Camp for me was an exceedingly amazing experience. And that is due to not only what turned out to be perfect conditions, but also the company that I was in throughout the whole experience. The friends that I went with made the hike a little bit better, and the heat and cold that was experienced a little more bearable. The weather was perfect for our hikes because there was hardly a grey cloud in the sky for our hikes and the track was both challenging and testing for even the most fit within our class. But it came as a pleasant experience when everyone made it to the very top of the mountain and we all shared snacks and food in a very communal gathering as we all felt the accomplishment of finishing our hikes. The river was one of the highlights of the camp because it was very cold and refreshing to wash in after our tiring hikes. Even though I could do without the very cold nights/mornings that accompanied the camp, I would change nothing about how the camp turned out, simply because I believe that it brought us as a class closer together, and the experiences that we shared will remain with us long after we finish High School.
Poet’s Perspective As a part of the literacy week activities in the High School we were joined by ISS alumni, Mia Kami. Mia graduated ISS two years ago and is currently studying Law and Politics at USP. She came along to share with us her poem, ‘Dear White Consultant’, and to discuss with us the power of words to provoke discussion and debate. The poem was well received and the discussion afterwards stimulating, ranging from Pacific Island peoples finding their voice, to the perceptions of those who read the poem in different ways. Reflecting on the poem later on, some of our students felt the following: “I found it inspirational that someone I know, someone from my culture, could speak up and be a voice.” “It was interesting to get the direct opinion and perspective of the poet themselves, as there was a lot of debate after the poem came out. Being able to talk directly to the poet meant that we got to see a greater insight to the thoughts behind the poem.” ISS thanks Mia for coming along to share her work and her thoughts and greatly appreciates her time. We look forward to having many more poets and authors share their work in the future. If you would like to share your creative work with us, please feel free to contact us at esims@iss.school.fj
