Many staff have been clean shaven from the start of the month and will be attempting to grow moustaches, female staff are able to join in by sporting \u2018false\u2019 moustaches of their choice and if students \/ parents would like to get involved, please contact Mr Fletcher in Primary and Ms Bater in Secondary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week I had the delightful pleasure of being interviewed by Primary students for the student newspaper, KIS Today, I hear that many students are busying themselves in preparation for the next edition and I look forward to its publication. Another great student achievement this week is the magical talents of Leroy in Year 7. He has produced a wonderful video and you can see for yourselves his magical prowess on our KIS Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please do check out the PTA section of this newsletter to hear their exciting news for the KIS community and International Day, which this year will take the form of an online international week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course we are all still awaiting news of the current CMCO and what will happen following Monday.
