Farewell Interview with Zoe Hancock, former Chair of DCA Our “thank you” interview with Zoe for her work in leading the DCA for the past two years and in launching so many events for students and parents Zoe, we would like to thank you for your incredible work in setting up and leading the DCA for the past two years. You have been instrumental in the development of the DCA and in launching  so many enjoyable events for students and parents, including the super popular Trunk or Treat, the Family Movie Nights, Christmas Fayre, Family Sports Day, School Discos and much more. Highlights of the most recent DCA events: DCA Discos DCA Family Sports Day Surprise Teacher Appreciation Tea We all appreciate the time and effort you have given in leading these projects and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you.  (Check out the link http://bit.ly/InterviewZoe to listen to the interview with Zoe) Best regards, The Teachers, Students and Parents of DCIS DCA School Discos for Years 3-6 DCA Family Sports Day DCA Surprise Appreciation Tea for Teacher http://bit.ly/schooldiscos http://bit.ly/familysportsday http://bit.ly/surprisetea Final Preparations for UNICEF Summit Our DCIS UN representatives have finalised their video presentations as they prepare for their trip to New York Sameeksha and Indira are making their final preparations for their UNICEF summit, having met with Ms McKernan to learn more about what to expect at an Model United Nations conference. Mr Short has also met with the students to wish them well on the opportunity that lies ahead. The girls are off on Wednesday 12th, but there is still much to do! Their videos as Singapore’s UN representatives have been finalised (viewable soon on our YouTube channel!) and in addition to their research into their representative countries, they are still working on their individual preparations. Sameeksha has been selected as a part of the student media team while in New York. She will be sending updates all week long on various social media sites. Don’t forget to look out for #NAEUNICEF! Indira has been chosen as one of eight students to represent Nord Anglia in front of the UN delegates. She is collaborating with the other student presenters to speak about the actions Nord Anglia is taking to support the UN Global Goals. This is the first time 6 students have been invited to speak at a UN conference, and a very exciting opportunity for Indira: “What I am looking forward to most is being given the chance to do something to work towards solving the global goals by presenting at the Side Meeting and taking part in the MUN and discussing global affairs. I am also looking forward to meeting new people. I feel really passionate about sustainable development and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
