Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Community
Our Grade 12 students have now finished the bulk of heir Diploma Program exams. It is a really important time for them in their journey and I would like to congratulate them on being such dedicated students, but also for being such wonderful people. They have been excellent role models for our younger students and are certainly ready to make a contribution to a more peaceful and sustainable world as they embark on the next step of their lives. Before they move off on their new adventures, they have been kind enough to agree to speak with us about their experience. They will gather on Friday, 7th June at HIS from 2:00 pm. If you are wondering what type of experiences are coming up for your child, this is a perfect time to hear from our experts.
As the exams are now nearly done, I thought it may be good timing for this TED Talk on the importance of play. Enjoy the weekend and we look forward to seeing you all at the Arts Gala with the Spring Concert, the Visual Arts Exhibition and Primary Student Led Conferences.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule (Principal)

Council of International Schools (CIS) Community Survey
Dear Parents
Please find below an explanation regarding the CIS Community survey. This is the one for parents and it will be part of our whole school self-study next year as part of our CIS re-accreditation.
The leadership team, teachers, and staff of Hiroshima International School are interested in what you think about our school. Please take a moment to complete the CIS Community Survey, which will help identify the strengths of the school and areas for improvement.
The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. You should complete one survey per child enrolled in the school. We hope you can spare some time to help the school in its desire to improve. The survey will be available until Friday, 7 Jun 2019.
