Dear Parents, Students, Faculty, Families and Staff,

What a fantastic week we just had! Our music students from EC1 – Grade 12 filmed their Winter Fair performances on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the sneak preview I saw is simply outstanding!! As you can see from the photos below, so many faculty were hard at work making sure our students sounded their best!! I know everyone will love seeing all of our students perform next Friday night during our live streamed event from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. We will share this link again next week, but here it is for your reference:

Several students were also able to join the festivities who attended AIS when the Elementary School building officially opened on 2 December 2011. They included, Tsz-Ngo NG, Sharleen Kaur SANDHU,  Nicholas Joe-Ming WONG,  Suman Mayank MISHRA, Nana ICHINOSE, Rui MATAYOSHI, Ankita Mayank MISHRA, Hiu-Yan YUNG, Tsz-Lung WONG,  Ki-Chun TSE, Minyoung KA, Shraya ETHIRAJ, Chenhey CHU, Ming-Hin CAI, Claudia PALLANTI, Palak Utsav GANDHI, Alessio PALLANTI,  Sin-Yeuk TSANG,  Man-Kiu CHU,  Sabhyata JOSHI,  Bhavika RAWAT,  Christopher Jo AVENENTI,  Ming-Hei CAI,  and Anthony Jo AVENENTI.

Principal Wing spoke with Nicholas Wong, Cheney Chu, and Palak Gandhi about their memories of AIS at the time. They each shared a special photo of themselves that we’ll be sure to reveal to you when we publish the footage of this historical event during our upcoming Winter Fair. Stay tuned for that and for the winners of the time capsule guessing contest!!

Apple Plan

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding the new Apple Plan that was recently shared with the AIS community. Thank you as well for the excellent suggestions we received. Today, I am very pleased to let you know that we can now confirm that we are in a position to offer our families and students a special purchase price that extends Apple’s educational discount to all current students and faculty.

Early in the new year, we will provide all members of the AIS community with access to a private purchasing portal where AIS families, students, faculty, and staff will be able to purchase up to two devices per person (one iPad and one Macbook for each unique AIS student email account) through our school’s authorized Apple reseller, SENCO. We will also provide you with device specifications, along with additional information about next year’s rollout. We are letting you know about this upcoming opportunity today, to ensure that you have the opportunity to take advantage of this special pricing in the new year.

On behalf of the AIS Leadership Team, I wish you a wonderful weekend ahead.

My best,


Anita Simpson
Head of School
