QISS High School students who made the Honour Roll for the first semester received certificates for their outstanding academic achievement at an assembly on Wednesday. Congratulations!

Announcements

• The QISS Boy and Girls Basketball Teams are competing in the ACAMIS Basketball Tournament this weekend in Macau. Go Sharks!
• A draft of the WASC Accreditation Self Study Report can be found on the school’s website at www.qiss.org.cn. The accreditation report is important because it validates the integrity of the school’s program, assures the school community that the school’s purposes are appropriate and assists the school in establishing areas of strengths and areas for improvement.  If you have comments on the report would you please address them to:  qisscomments@hotmail.com.  We look forward to receiving your comments.
