Touch Rugby Jamboree at GSIS

On Saturday morning, TCIS ES and SS travelled to GSIS to play Touch Rugby.
Many 6th Graders have been playing this sport in ES and it was a good opportunity for them to help some new students to also learn about the game.

It was a really FULL day for the players with 6 games and some teams playing 3 and 4 games back to back.
Thanks must go to the coaches, Mr Karsten, Mr McDougall, Mr Henderson and Mr Zickefoose for giving their time after school and on the weekend for our students.

PE and Science pages have been UPDATED...

Hi everyone,
If you click on the "PE and Health" page tab and the "Science" page tab, you can see the first subject posts for the year...

Students using their lockers...

Are you using your locker Grade 6?
Parents, is your child using their locker? Is it clean and tidy?

We are trying to help Grade 6 students use their lockers well and to keep them organized.

We want to keep the top of the locker free of bags and other books and papers.

Any textbooks left on top of the locker will be taken to the SS office for collection.

Locks should be locked back onto the locker and not left open or on top.

Let's all help each other to keep our lockers tidy and organized.

Students can also sign up for Praise team for chapels with Mr Mike Mellinger. Email him if interested. mellingerm@tcis.or.kr

Students should be checking their emails at home in the evenings to make sure they are getting messages that come through their email. Messages are also displayed on the second floor on a noticeboard each day.

We hope all students will become involved in extra activities throughout the school year.

Day 3 is Chapel day...

Every Day 3 students in 6-8 come together for Chapel to worship together and to learn about the Bible and God in different ways.
In Chapel,  Mr Craig Gordon introduced himself to the Grade 6-8 students. He is the Student Life Minister. He spoke about chapel and what it means to him to come together to praise God.
Students were very involved in chapel learning about each other and interacting with Mr Craig.
Below are some 6th Graders participating in praise time.

Grade 6 students can sign up for Praise team if they are interested.

Here is a thought to leave you with for this week.

How can you show the IB Learner Profile of Caring this week?

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!

Welcome to the Secondary School for 2013/14!
It was fantastic to see everyone's faces today as they navigated to their first lesson!
There were lots of questions, some anxious faces, but everyone made it to A block- PHEW!

Here is the Secondary block schedule for this school year.

Below are some pictures taken before school and during A block today.

4 things we want our teachers to know about us...

At the end of May, Grade 5 students completed a keynote to help their new teachers in Grade 6 to get to know them a little better.
Each student from the class completed a list of things they really wanted to share.
