Principal’s Message

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all families celebrating Eid Fitri. I hope that you have a joyous and fulfilling celebration with families and loved ones

Thank you to our fantastic students, dedicated teachers, support staff, and supportive parents for making Term 1 a great success. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the High School Assembly, where I enjoyed student performances and saw homeroom teachers recognize students for their outstanding positive behavior. It has been another eventful week at AIS! Many of our students participated in the NAPLAN assessments, while our Foundation students had a blast during their water play day. Auditions for Mary Poppins Jr. are well underway, and our Year 10 students have been busy analyzing lines of code in computer games.

I hope that all members of the AIS Community enjoy a relaxing and fun holiday. All students will return for Term 2 on Tuesday 15th April.

Below are some pictures of AIS in Blue from last Friday, 21st March, in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day

Thank you to all parents who donated towards the Lebaran Hampers for our support staff and thank you to the parents that coordinated the shopping and preparation of the hampers. These hampers were distributed to our staff last Friday morning. 

Thank you also to Mr. James Martin and Ibu Nur Aini Kusuma Wardani on behalf of the Attorney General’s Office and Chief of National Asset Recovery of The Attorney General for their donation of another 120 Lebaran Hampers for our support staff
