On Friday, 25 September, ISA officially opened the new nursing station in the Early Childhood section of the new wing.

The new station allows for quicker access to health information and emergency health services for Upper and Lower School students attending classes within the new extension to the school.

Thank you to everyone for making the PTA BBQ the success that it was!
It was a lovely day with a great turn out of 1250 people enjoying delicious food, great music and awesome weather. It seems that the skies cleared just for that day for us! We were truly lucky that the drizzle started only as we walked out of the building in the evening. Overall, the atmosphere was amazing and could see smiles everywhere.
We have the privilege to work with a fantastic, supportive and hard working team. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the school management, operations, and maintenance. Last, but not least, a huge thank you to the happy ISA families that streamed in. What’s a party without the people, good food, music and yes, the sun shining down especially for us.
Sincerely,
The PTA Team
