The Chinese New Year Assembly
The Chinese New Year Assembly was beautiful. There were vocal performances. One of them was from our school vocal teacher Ms Lee Jen
Nee and the other was a choir performance from Year 2 to Year 5. I was very happy to have a chance to take part in the presentation of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiacs. The masks for all the animals were colorful and attractive.
Everyone enjoyed the assembly finale which was the Lion Dance. It was a fantastic show. Yu Hua Chinese School of Kajang was kind enough to come and perform the lion dance for us, I could hear wows, ohs, and aahs from where I was sitting! It was a wonderful assembly. I am sure a lot of us enjoyed it. I know I did! *Savita Nanda,Year 7G*


		After making friends with the admirers in the Breezeway, the lions capped the visit with the traditional
		visit to the Office, ensuring good things for 2007!

Anzac Day 2007		Anzac Day was commemorated in AISM throughout the day. First at the Dawn Service in Cheras at the Military Annexe of the Christian Ceremony,
and at the Residence of the New Zealand High Commissioner, for a traditional Gunfire breakfast.
			then back to school for the whole school assembly which included an address by Lieutenant Colonel Cronin who spoke about the meaning of Anzac Day.
