Dear Families and Students,

There is so much excitement on campus as we head into the final days of school. This week our High School students enjoyed their Talent Show, our Middle School community hosted a Band Slam, and our Elementary School students performed this morning during their assembly.

Next week, our students will explore new passions, as part of our Middle School Intensives, High School students will be immersed in Infinity Week, and be visited by an Alumnae Panel, and we are all busy preparing to celebrate student achievement across all divisions throughout our last week of school.

Congratulations to our Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medal Winners!!!

Yesterday, our U20 Mixed Touch Rugby Team and our U12 Girls Football Team each took home a Gold Medal for our school! The U20 Rugby Team game was a nail-biter, going into double, extra time and eventually winning gold, 5-4. Our U12 Girls Football Team also played a very tight game, scoring 1-0 in the finals to take home the Gold. We are equally thrilled for our U12 Girls Volleyball Team who brought home a Silver Medal, and our U12 Boys Football Team who have taken home a Bronze. Congratulations to all of our players for this impressive showing and to our faculty who showed up to cheer them on!

Congratulations as well to our outstanding coaches, Mr. Lennan, Ms. McHugh, Ms. Lee, and Ms. Brosnan as well as our Athletic Director, Mr. Chan for making these wins and teams possible. I would also like to thank all of the PE Team including Mr. Duran De Sande, and Mr. XU for their support of healthy, active living, fostering daily physical activity, and cultivating a culture of collaboration and sportsmanship. What a team! And, what a way to close out the season!!

Hong Kong Shark Foundation

We are thrilled to announce that AIS donated HKD 11,727 to the Hong Kong Shark Foundation (HKSF) on 30 April Charitable Free Dress Day. This contribution exemplifies our shared commitment to the protection of sharks and to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).

The foundation has shared a certificate with us, as a way of acknowledging the difference our support is making to their organization and, ultimately, the health of our oceans and the life they sustain. Thanks to everyone for their support!

Summer Learning Spotlight

Summers are fantastic seasons filled with fun, excitement, discovery, and fresh experiences, as students encounter unfamiliar things, embark on new journeys, and reconnect with loved ones. At the same time, parents are eager to ensure that their children continue to engage in meaningful learning and retain essential knowledge and skills, even during the break.

The Summer Learning Spotlight on Math and Reading resources from our Parents Make The Difference collection are incredible publications that parents will find especially helpful over the summer. They are conveniently linked below for your convenience.

I highly recommend exploring the Daily Learning Planners as they offer valuable suggestions to facilitate dialogue and strengthen the bond with your children. Enjoy the meaningful interactions I’m sure these prompts will foster!

My best,

Anita Simpson
Head of School
