MESSAGE FROM THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM Dear Parents, It brings me so much joy to see the students back in school, getting better and enjoying learning.

We have such an amazing vision: Igniting, Passion, Purpose and Potential, and although we have faced the challenges of the pandemic it is now time to see our school open up to all the opportunities that lay ahead.

To that end, I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming ‘International Student Day’. This is a very special event where our students, teachers and parents dress in clothing that represents their home country and share their traditional dishes of food. We will have stalls, activities, and a big parade. The class teachers will be in contact so you can be involved in the day. Please put a circle around, ThursdayMarch 31st in your diaries for the International Student Day at Hamilton.

I wanted to personally thank everyone who contributed to the ‘Book Day’ where almost all our students across the school dressed as a book character. It was fabulous seeing our teachers dress up well, which contributes to the positive engaging atmosphere in our school.

If you are going away for the mid-term break, safe travels, and if you are staying home, I do hope you can rest and enjoy time with your children.

To a child love is spelt; T-I-M-E. Warm regards, Terry Senior Principal

Have you wondered what you might find under the sea?

Our KG1 students took part in sensory learning and looked at a variety of ways that they could learn about the ocean.

This exit point included four different building zones. Our students demonstrated what they learned in this topic by working in small groups to complete speedbuilding challenges like using pool noodles and sticks to build good structure, and building a paper skyscrapers.

It was amazing to see all their knowledge on display and how much they learned about building concepts.

Amazing work, Grade 1.

At The Hamilton International School, we strive to nurture students that are environmentally conscious, global citizens. This understanding of the world and our role in it can be seen within our Primary School students.

Our Grade 3 students have started learning about their new IPC topic "Saving The World."

As part of this, they created a wonderful rainforest complete with tree, vines, and many animals. They immersed themselves in the rainforest and recorded the observations of what they saw, heard and smelt.

However, our students also learned that rainforests are currently being destroyed at an alarming rate. They were able to witness this destruction first hand, as all their hard work was ruined in an instant.

They are now working on understanding the reasons behind this destruction and what they can do to stop it.
