Principal’s Message

Dear HIS Community

Earlier this week you will have received your child’s International Schools’ Assessment (ISA) results. ISA is a standardized assessment that we use each year for two reasons. We normally send this out with reports at the end of the year but received them a bit earlier this year. We use these as feedback on our overall academic program by identifying any areas across grade levels where there may be weaker areas and then adjust both the program and our teaching accordingly. We also use this external assessment as one more data point to understand the academic development of our students to guide differentiated instruction. We only have a couple of weeks left so it is a busy time with lots happening including our Grade 5 PYP Graduation next week. Congratulations to you all as you move from Primary to Secondary. Enjoy your weekend.

Kind regards

Damian Renotule
