1. Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
Two weeks ago, I asked if you could remember any terms used in our HIS Mission Statement. I wonder how many terms you can recall? One of the ways that we pursue our Mission is to promote the Learner Profile within our units of inquiry, as well as in the other aspects of our day-to-day life at school such as the way we treat each other on the playground. My question for you this week is how many of the Learner Attributes can you recall. If you can’t think of the ten, please ask your child. Enjoy your long weekend.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule (Principal)

6. Introducing our Student Teachers from The Netherlands
Hannah Graham, Vlad Coraci and Jessie Kraan
At the beginning of April, three students from Stenden University will be joining the PYP Team for their nine-week international teaching placement at HIS. This will be our third semester where we have student teachers join our school to work with our students and a wonderful experience for all. They are all very excited to join us and they would like to introduce themselves prior to their arrival.

Read It, Review It, Recommend It
In an effort to showcase our student’s love of reading with suggestions of books their friends might enjoy, we are starting a new section, Read It, Review It, Recommend It, in our weekly Crane Newsletter where kids themselves can review books that they have read. We are hopeful many ages will participate from EC all the way up to grade 12.
