1. Principal’s Message
Dear HIS Families
I would like to congratulate all of our Grade 12 students who have just finished their Diploma Program (DP) exams. The DP is a rigorous university preparatory program and these final two years of schooling hold numerous challenges that provide the foundations for success, not only in university, but throughout later life. You will still see a few students around school over the next couple of weeks as some of the CAS projects are completed and this is part of the perseverance that will be necessary in later life and one of the great lessons of the DP. We will bid farewell to our Class of 2017 next weekend at the graduation ceremony. The Class of 2017 received acceptances from a wide range of universities, which you can see below and you should all be very proud of this great achievement. Whatever paths you take, we wish you well as you go forth to help create a more peaceful and sustainable world. Congratulations to the class of 2017.
Kind regards
Damian Rentoule (Principal)
