TIS Continues to Monitor Flu Situation

Today TIS has reviewed the number of absences due to illness. Only two absent students are reporting a fever. This represents a normal percentage of the student population. If your child is exhibiting flu-like symptoms and you have not notified the school, please advise us as soon as possible, so we can accurately update our records. TIS will continue to monitor the percentage of the student body reporting flu-like symptoms.

TIS remains in close contact with the Macau Education Department, Macau Health Department, and the University Hospital and is implementing a number of precautionary measures to ensure a safe environment for our staff and students.

Please check the TIS website for regular updates and announcements. For more information on the influenza situation in Hong Kong, click here to see the letter to the Consul General from the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau.

Flu Situation in Hong Kong

This morning, Hong Kong closed their primary schools and kindergartens because of a suspected outbreak of influenza. In 2003 when the SARS pandemic broke out in Hong Kong, Macau schools (including TIS) did not close.

Mr. Johnston will be in close contact with Mr. Sou, the director of the education department to monitor the situation in Hong Kong and Macau's reaction.

At this time TIS will remain open. Any additional information will be communicated to staff via email and parents through the school website as it is made available.

TIS has implemented extra cleaning and other precautionary measures this morning.

Learning The Rules Of The Road

TIS was the first school in Macau to host the BMW Children's Traffic Safety Education program on March 7th. Targeted to senior kindergarten students, the program uses interactive games, role-play and a special "traffic park" to help children learn about traffic safety regulations and strengthen their sense of self protection.

TIS Celebrates Book Week

TIS held a variety of events to promote Book Week from March 3-7th. Visiting author and wildlife photographer Jan Latta recounted her exciting adventures in the wild, and storyteller Jan Mann told her special brand of fun and engaging tales to kindergarten and elementary students. Other activities included an "edible book" competition, singing contest, bookmark design competition and trivia quiz. Book Week is held annually at TIS to celebrate the world of literature and give students the opportunity to meet authors.

Sunny Skies Prevail For Community Day

It was a picture perfect day on Saturday, March 1st for the third Community Day of the year at TIS. The kindergarten students participated in a games circuit, while the elementary grades played soccer on the front field. Secondary teams squared off in a volleyball tournament in the MPR. After a hard fought battle, it was the staff team who came out on top! Community Day was started last year to provide the school community with a chance to get together outside
of an academic setting. TIS holds four Community Day events throughout the year.
