The Geckos were at AISG in Guangzhou last weekend at an invitational event. We had improvements on personal best times and saw swimmers step out of their comfort zone to participate in new events. This meet was preparation for the upcoming PRC Championships and the ACAMIS event to close out the season.

Diploma Programme: Core Connections - The Extended Essay
IBPD文凭课程:核心课程探索 - 拓展论文
The SIS-hosted IB Workshops have begun! Extended Essay Coordinator and Grade 12 Learning Lead Peter Kimball organized a team of key Extended Essay supervisors to attend a one-day workshop on its implementation and assessment. In the session, the supervisors – who are also Diploma Programme teachers – took a deep dive into assessment criteria, student guidance, and the latest in incorporating AI as a research tool.
The Extended Essay is a 4000-word research essay completed by Diploma students over ten months between Diploma Programme Year 1 and Year 2. It is one of the features of the Core that makes the Diploma Programme excellent preparation for university-level work. Our current cohort of Grade 12 students have moved into the final viva voce oral examination stage; while Grade 11 students will be beginning their journey in January 2024, making this an excellent time for professional development in this area.
SIS主办的IB研讨会已启动!拓展论文协调员兼12年级学习组长Peter Kimball老师组织了一个主要由拓展论文导师组成的团队,参加了为期一天的关于该主题实施和评估的研讨会。在会议上,主管团队也是文凭课程教师成员,深入探讨了评估标准、学生指导以及将人工智能作为研究工具的最新情况。
拓展论文是一篇4000字左右的研究论文,由IBDP学生在DP课程第1年到第2年之间的十个月内完成。这是IB核心课程的特点之一,使DP课程能为达到大学能力水平做好准备。目前我们12年级同学已进入最后的所谓口头考试阶段,而11年级同学将于2024年1月开始他们的IBDP之旅,这一切让此时此刻成为该领域专业发展的绝佳时机。
Diploma Programme: Core Connections -
The Theory of Knowledge
IBPD文凭课程:核心课程探索 - 知识论
Students in Grade 12 (Diploma Programme, Year 2) Theory of Knowledge considered the role of Axioms, pure and applied Mathematics, and the symbolic nature of Math in preparation to write their TOK Essay, one of the final assessments required to complete the core elements of the Diploma Programme.
12年级也是IBDP第二年的同学们在准备IB文凭课程核心要素所需的最终评估之一的知识论论文的过程中,综合考量了公理、理论和应用数学的作用以及数学的符号性质。
ParentEDU - Adolescent Brain and Identity
家长讲座 - 青春期大脑与身份认同
We were happy to have more parents on campus this morning for an important ParentEDU on Adolescent Development hosted by our counselors. Understanding more about how our children develop is key to being able to support their growth as parents and educators. We are privileged to have such highly qualified counseling professionals on staff to lead these sessions. Thanks Lena, Francesca, and Jennifer!
今天上午我们很高兴地迎来多位的家长光临网谷校区,参加我们辅导员主持的有关青少年发展的重要家长讲座。能更好的了解孩子们的身心发展,这是我们作为支持他们的父母和教育工作者成长的关键。我们很荣幸能拥有高品质的咨询团队来开展这些讲座,感谢Lena, Francesca和Jennifer 顾问老师!
American Mathematics Competition
AMC 美国数学竞赛
Logical reasoning abounded at Secondary this week, with students from across Grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 also participating in the American Mathematics Competition: Version B which was held on November 15th. Version B is the more difficult version of the competition, and students who attended found their wits put to the test. Thanks to all the Geckos who came out to sharpen their math skills, and the Learning Lead for Mathematics, Jacqueline Suh, for organizing the event!
本周中学校区闪耀着数字推理和逻辑,9至12年级的同学还参加了11月15日举行的美国数学竞赛AMC-B卷。B卷竞赛难度更高,参赛同学们点亮了最强智慧大脑。感谢所有勇于参赛打磨自己数学技能的壁虎竞赛者以及本次活动的组织者——数学组组长Jacqueline Suh老师!
Grade 5 Transition - Living Net Valley
五年级升学六年级 - 在网谷校区的生活
On Wednesday next week, November 22, we will host our Grade 5 Geckos at Net Valley for the first of our three transition days: Living, Learning and Leaping at Net Valley. Next week’s Living Net Valley is an easy entry into the world of Middle School. We intend to give the Grade 5s an experience of what it is like to “live” at Net Valley. We want to make sure that G5s begin to see Net Valley as their new school home, which will help to reduce some of the uncomfortable feelings that are often associated with big life changes.
11月22日下周三我们将在网谷迎接五年级的壁虎学子,这是我们三个升学过渡活动 —— 在网谷生活、学习和飞跃中的第一次。下周的“在网谷的生活” 将邀请他们轻松踏入中学的世界。我们想让五年级的同学们体验在网谷生活的感觉,也希望他们开始将网谷校区视为新家,这能帮助我们的初中新生减轻并调整一些因转变生活学习环境而带来的不适感。
Semester 1 Final Assessments
第一学期评估
Beginning next week, some classes will start the process of assessing for the final semester 1 report. In grades 6-10, we space these assessments out over 3 weeks so that there is a balance and to ensure that no student is completing too many assessments on any one given day. Additionally, G11 and 12 will be off timetable for the week of December 4-8 to write exams. We wish all students the best of luck in demonstrating their learning. Exciting stuff!
部分班级将从下周开始进行本学期期末报告评估。为了平衡考试安排,不将所有测试集中在一天进行,我们将对6至10年级的评估测试分成3周。此外11和12年级将不列入12月4日至8日这周的书面考试日程表。祝所有同学在考试期间取得好成绩,展示出自己的学习成果。拭目以待!
See You On Wednesday!
