Message from the Head of School – February 1, 2019

新年快乐

Happy New Year to our Chinese Community. It was great fun, and a little scary, to watch the dragon dancers this morning. Thank you for your help in making this happen – Yen Hsi Liu and Craig Eldred. Thank you to Selina for teaching us about your New Year’s celebration. Thank you as well to our PS 3 and 4 students for your amazing performance!

The Board works behind the scenes on many levels to assist our school to function efficiently and within the parameters of the schools in Indonesia. Kib Roby, the BIS Board Chair, is in Jakarta today to meet with the Ministry of Labor. Over the past few weeks, the Board has been working to secure an important document from the Ministry of Education. This document is a new and additional step that allows us to continue to function efficiently with many other school and human resource procedures. The document was secured last week. Ibu Aulia and Ibu Lea work in conjunction with the Board to liaise with the Ministry. Congratulations to all of you for your good work, and thank you!

On February 18-20 AVB, a video production company, will be on campus to help us create a 2-3 minute video about Bali Island School. It is our hope that this video, along with many other marketing initiatives will help our school continue to develop and attract new students and families to our community. Thank you to Ibu Elfira, our marketing manager, the Board, and our Teaching and Learning Team for your help in defining our message.
