Dear families,
The theme of natural disasters continued through humour in our fabulous Grade 3-5 Field Day on Thursday. Classes were split into colored teams, each aligned with a natural disaster. Children took part individually in a wide range of events, as well as competed as a color team in a tug-of-war. In the end, it was the Blue Tsumani’s who remained undefeated in the team tug of war, and walked away as the victors. Congratulations Blue Tsunami’s! A huge thank you to our PE department, as well as Mr James, who meticulously planned a day that was enjoyed by all. Great to see so many parents out watching and supporting our students too.
Also, congratulations to Bua in Grade 5, whose wonderful Field Day design was selected to be printed onto all the t-shirts. Don’t they look amazing?
PreKindergarten - Grade 2 Field Day - Friday 27th January
- 3+, 4+ and KG; 9:00a.m - 10:00am
- Grades 1 & 2; 10:30am - 11:45am
The Field Day is a celebration of physical activity where the students participate in a range of competitive and participatory challenges that highlight the enjoyment they receive in engaging their bodies in a variety of physically fun tasks.
We have divided the day into separate events that will involve a cohort of 2 or 3 adjacent grade levels at the same time. The reason for this is to keep it safe, age relevant and maximise the community building between grade levels.
On the day your PreKindergarten - Grade 2 child will be issued an AISC Field Day T-shirt, but please ensure on the day you pack with your child
- Hat and sunscreen
- Change of clothes (children may get wet as some of the fun activities involve water)
If you wish to volunteer your assistance in the running of the day, please contact your child’s teacher or the parent representative for the class. Parent spectators are of course also welcome. Please come and cheer to students on and be part of this fun event.
After school Activities
Activities for Semester 2 begins on Monday January 23. Please refer to the ASA Handbook for details.

Middle School Theater Production - February 2 & 3 - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Middle School Theatre students proudly bring you a new, exciting and spectacular adaptation of the novel by Victor Hugo.
The young man Quasimodo has been locked up in the cathedral of Notre Dame for twenty years. When he sneaks out to look at the Festival of Fools, he is suddenly thrust into a world which he does not understand. And so begins this tale of love, courage, and comprehending the value of true inner strength.
With stunning costumes, music, lighting and a breathtaking set, this original production promises to bring to life this classic tale.
Tickets are on sale before school in the Middle and High School Entrance, and after school at Elementary School. Tickets are 200 rupees. Performances are on the 2nd and 3rd of February, at 5pm. Tickets go on sale next week.
We have a hunch you’ll love it!
