SIS Weekly October 13th, 2023
Dear Parents,
SIS has been on a journey to better understand Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Belonging in education. Over the past three years, a volunteer staff committee has worked diligently to educate staff and re-examine all practices, from recruitment and enrolment to learning and teaching. You should by now be familiar with our position statement and be aware of the work that is being undertaken.
亲爱的家长,
SIS一直在努力更深入地了解教育中的多样性、平等、包容、公正和归属感(简称:DEIJ&B)。在过去的三年中,一个由教职员工组成的委员会以志愿者形式勤勉地工作,教育员工并重新审视所有的做法,从招聘和入学到学习和教学。您现在应该已经熟悉我们的立场声明,并了解正在进行的工作。
This week, we held a ParentEDU about examining our Biases. Being aware of our biases is crucial for personal and societal growth. Our biases shape our perceptions, decisions, and interactions with others. Recognising them allows us to challenge preconceived notions, embrace diverse perspectives, and make more objective judgments. It fosters empathy and understanding and promotes a fairer and more inclusive world.
The participants asked that the presentation be shared, so here it is:
本周,我们举办了一场名为“审查我们的偏见”家长讲座。察觉到我们的偏见对于个人和社会的成长至关重要。我们的偏见塑造了我们的看法、决策以及与他人的互动。识别它们使我们能够挑战既定的观念,接受多元的视角,并做出更为客观的判断。这增强了同理心和理解,并促进了一个更公平、包容的世界。
应家长要求,我们在此分享本次讲座的讲义:

Staffing 2024-25
Given the impact of Covid over the past three years, and in keeping with the larger decreasing birthrate demographic trend across China, we will be looking to reduce some divs within Early Years/Primary School beginning August 2024. This reduction in divs is not a reduction in programme and will not be noticeable to students or parents. There will not be a change specialist lessons or support that students receive.
If you have any questions related to this, please contact me Harish Kanabar: hkanabarsis.org.cn WeChat: hkanabar
2024-25学年的人员配备
考虑到过去三年的疫情影响,以及与中国整体下降的出生率趋势相一致,我们计划从2024年8月开始在幼儿园/小学部分减少一些班级。班级的减少并不代表课程的减少,并且学生或家长不会察觉到这种变化。学生所接收的专业课程或支持不会有任何改变。
如果您对此有任何疑问,请联系我,Harish Kanabar:hkanabarsis.org.cn。微信号:hkanabar。
Parent Survey Feedback
Each week, I will continue to share the data we collected from you.
家长问卷调查反馈
我将继续在每周新闻信和大家分享家长问卷的反馈。
Effective communication between schools and families is critical for student success. It fosters a supportive learning environment, enhances academic progress, and builds trust. Key elements include transparent information sharing, regular updates, and collaborative problem-solving strategies. This partnership encourages parental involvement, enriching the educational journey and fostering a sense of community. We are glad to see that, on the whole, you agree that SIS is doing this well.
学校与家庭之间的有效沟通对学生的成功至关重要。这种沟通不仅培育了一个支持性的学习环境,还增强了学术进步并建立了信任。关键要素包括信息分享的透明度、定期的消息发布以及协作解决问题的策略。这种伙伴关系鼓励了家长的参与,丰富了教育旅程并培育了社群意识。我们很高兴看到,家长们总体上认同SIS在这方面做得很好。
Community connections are a growth area for SIS. We continue to build relationships with local partners to enhance opportunities for our students. I recently met several parents at the Secondary Meet the Principal event and am looking forward to these parents getting in touch with me to further these partnerships.
社群联结是SIS的一个增长领域。我们继续与本地合作伙伴建立关系,为我们的学生提供更多机会。我最近在中学的“校长咖啡晨会”活动中与一些家长面对面交流。我非常期待这些家长能与我联系,以进一步加强伙伴关系。
NV Onsite Food Service
From Semester 2, SIS will launch onsite food for NV Students. The kitchen is being prepared and will be ready for ISSW, the same vendor as The Bay campus, to begin operations.
SIS will terminate the food delivery service with Cutebento for only NV Secondary with the last food service day being Dec 19th 2023 from Cutebento. All refunds for NV Secondary should be completed by Dec 30th 2023.
Please note ISSW does not have a food delivery license and therefore we will continue with Cutebento food delivery service in Semester 2 for JS.
网谷校区现场餐饮服务
从第二学期起,SIS 将能在网谷校区提供现场餐饮服务。我们的厨房处于准备阶段,预计在 ISSW(与 太子湾校区同一供应商)开始运营时将彻底完善。
宝贝便当于网谷校区餐饮配送服务将在2023年12月19日结束。所有针对中学网谷校区的退款都应在2023年12月30日之前完成。
请悉知,由于 ISSW 没有餐饮配送许可,我们的鲸山校区将在第二学期继续使用宝贝便当的餐饮配送服务。
