Dear parents,
Throughout the day today and also earlier this week, Grade 3 students visited the Pallikaranai Marsh to share their learning about ecosystems with some local students, and both this afternoon and this morning Grade 5 students presented their passion projects as well as their ‘ted talks’ style advocacy presentations.
AISC recognizes that performance opportunities embody a core value that challenging experiences enriches our lives as a student, an audience member, and as a community. We hope that you can join us and support our young musicians as they collaborate and demonstrate their Courage, Confidence, and Compassion for the performing Arts.
Are you interested in exploring some of the best creations in the city? Are you interested in showing off your creativity? We have two opportunities for you as a participant or as a maker.
Today has been a spectacular day of learning
celebrations school wide! This morning Early Years 5, Grade 1 and Grade 2

and a ‘rockin robin’ dance.
