NAE Virtual Music Festival
The Nord Anglia Education Virtual Music Festival was held online this past week. Well done to all of our students who took part in this fun event. Although we did not make it to the finals, our students received some wonderful feedback from the judges;
"Renee, you showed a lovely control of your instrument, with excellent articulation and phrasing."
"What a lovely tone and sound you make on your recorder Lakshita. I was impressed with your really high and really low notes (it’s so difficult to make them sound so good!).
"Meredith, the harmonics section was excellent, you really controlled the tuning well. Great contrast of dynamics and light/heavy playing. You have clearly worked very hard to memorise this challenging piece - a very noble effort."
"A very buoyant performance which was fully memorised - well done GaEun."

Visual Arts Exhibition
IB Visual Arts students are working incredibly hard to finalize their exhibition work ready for this year's show, which marks the end of their two year intensive Visual Arts course. This year's NAISR Visual Arts Exhibition will be open from 1-16 April in the foyer. Due to COVID regulations, we won't be holding a public viewing, but feel free to come and visit the show if you're in the building. The students will be posting a virtual tour of their artworks via the NAISR Visual Arts Instagram account, so if you can't see it in person you can enjoy it virtually.

CAS Showcases
The last step of the CAS service learning experience is 'Demonstration'. This requires students to show what and how they learned and what they accomplished through demonstration and communication. On 15 March, the Class of 2021 individually and virtually presented their CAS Showcases and we are so proud of how well our senior students demonstrated their learning. As Kuzey, one of our senior students, explains, "CAS has been an experience that has significantly changed how I view the world, and the people around me. I’ve learned to adapt to situations, and pursue paths that I haven't been comfortable with before." Click the below link to read more about Kuzey's CAS experience.

Swimming Lessons
We were happy to see that swimming lessons could resume and parents will be updated further after the break.

G9/10 Nutrition Projects
The G9 & 10 HAPE class has been working on community action nutrition projects. Students researched an issue related to nutrition, interviewed or referred to an 'expert' in the field, identified solutions and created an action plan as to how to bring awareness to the issue. They then had the opportunity to share their findings and present to their classmates in any way they found most appropriate. They all did such an excellent job! A couple of wonderful examples can be viewed below.
