ANTI-BULLYING/POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS DAY
	On Wednesday 7th September Year 5,6,7,and 8 participated in a very active and challenging day. This was the first time such a day has been organized at AISM and all the students enjoyed a sense of achievement. They participated in a variety of workshops, building trust, making resilience bracelets, keeping calm and learning how to resolve conflict. After a very cooperative team lunch every student climbed the AISM hill where we raised our school flag. The day was closed with all students receiving an award for being fabulous team players! *Jenny Bennett – Senior Teacher Welfare*

“ I learnt there is no need for bullying when you could just have more friends -100 friends is too few but one enemy is too many” Hazim Yr 8	“ I think the day helped us all to think more about how we can make other people feel better about themselves. The day also taught me to mix with other people who I never really noticed before” Gaia Yr 8

A Visitor in school

On Tuesday 9th August, we had a special visitor to the windowsill outside the gym – a beautiful owl! The Preparation children took the opportunity to learn about owls, with Miss Odette’s help of course, and produced some lovely drawings. You can see more, and read what they thought, in the AISM Yearbook 2005!

Tamika – There were spots and stripes on it.

Elkie – It had a mask on it’s head.

Kiane – It goes to sleep in the daytime.
