Internaonal Day
Next Tuesday 31st March, marks Internaonal Day in the
Elementary School at ISM. This is a day for our students to
celebrate who they are and where they come from. With over
eighty naonalies represented in the Elementary School
alone, it is a me for us to collecvely acknowledge and
celebrate this diversity. For many of our students it is also a
me to celebrate their own unique context and upbringing,
their mullingualism and mulple naonalies ‐ born in one
country, perhaps with parents of two naonalies and living
now in the Philippines. Equally, it is a me for us to
acknowledge our host country and honor those students who
were born here and are proud to be Filipino.
Our day starts with a short welcome gathering in the
Elementary Courtyard at 7:30 am, hosted by our Student
Council. This includes a short flag unfurling ceremony, whereeach of our naonalies in the Elementary School are
represented by their flags. Grade levels will then be
celebrang in various ways throughout the day. Please refer
to your class teacher for specific details.
Grades 3 and 4 will also be celebrang with music from around
the world, in their annual concerts hosted in the Fine Arts
Theater. The Grade 3 concert starts at 8:30 am and the Grade
4 concert at 1:00 pm.
Students are invited to wear clothes that represent who they are and where they come from on this, our final day of the
third quarter.
One element of our mission, states, ‘ Acknowledge and celebrate our di ff erences and encourage empathy, compassion,
understanding and respect for human dignity .’ Whilst Internaonal Day represents a me to symbolically celebrate our
diversity, it is sll only one day in an enre year. Hopefully we see empathy, compassion, understanding and respect for
each other every single day in our classrooms and community, with our diversity bringing richness to our community but
our commonalies uning us.
We look forward to welcoming you next Tuesday.Con nued on page 2

Professional Development
Con nued from page 1
Canteen Food in the Elementary School
With many of our students in Grades 1 to 4 eang canteen food at lunch me, we are trying to support our providers in
ensuring that all who avail of this service receive a quality lunch, with a variety of healthy opons. Part of this
obviously involves them preparing enough food for those that have ordered meals, whilst aempng to minimize foodwastage, which is an increasingly global issue. On any given day, we have a number of students eang canteen food
which has not been pre‐ordered or paid for. This then places pressure on the quanty available, parcularly for those
students who are eang at the last sing (we have staggered lunch mes due to numbers). Your support would be
appreciated in making sure that canteen orders are pre‐ordered. Equally, please do have a discussion with your child,
if you are finding that their packed lunch taken to school is coming home uneaten and that they are choosing to eat
canteen food instead. Thank you for your support.
