Theater 2 Production: Don’t Say I’m Harry–  Join us on Thursday 25 and Friday 26 of January at 6PM in the Black Box Theatre to enjoy a comic farce called ‘Don’t say I’m Harry’. The play is being performed by grade 10 Drama students who expertly tell the tale of several diamond thieves trying to steal jewels at a funeral. A tale of assumed identity, smokescreens and drama revolves around the death of a rich old lady! Come and be entertained by our talented students!

Sunshine’s Plastic Chair Event on January 19 after school-  The second annual Sunshine Committee Plastic Chair Event is right around the corner.  It will take place on Friday, January 19th from 4-8pm at Quan 909 restaurant.  Your Sunshine Committee contributions will pay for food and drink for you and your significant other (if applicable).   The restaurant is located just across the river and bridge by the Canadian School. The address is 84/3A Nguyen Luong Bang.  Come for the entire time or just a portion after your workout, coaching or other responsibilities.  This was one of the best staff events last year and we imagine it will be again.

Please include your name on this document. If you did not sign up, no worries just show up for a good time.
Feel free to attend even if you did not RSVP.
 
Tripod Survey Results/Reflection–  Results from the Tripod Surveys have been shared with you.  Some of you might want to look at the results over break; and others might want to look at them when they return.  There are a few things that will be useful to you for when you decide to review your feedback.  Tripod Reflection Protocol: This is created by Tripod and will be especially helpful for those who have never done a Tripod survey before.  The information is valuable and there is a reflection worksheet you could use.  Here is a shorter reflection form that we used last year (you’ll need to make a copy).  If you want to use this one, I recommend using it in conjunction with the information in the Tripod Reflection Protocol.  Here are  2016-17 and 2017-18 Divisional Results for comparison.   As you can see our division results are improved in almost every category.  Great work all!  Huyen will schedule a 20 minute meeting with each of you to talk about your analysis and reflection on the data in January before Tet break.
