TIS to support UNICEF Halloween Fundraising Campaign

TIS will support the UNICEF Halloween Fundraising Campaign, helping rebuild the lives of children affected by the earthquake in April, in Yushu, Qinghai.

Our help goes a long way e.g. HK$20 can buy 250 vitamin A capsules used to prevent vitamin A deficiency.

Last year, the TIS community raised over 10,000MOP.

Students should see their teachers to receive the permission slip to apply for a UNICEF donation box.

Experience Week 2012

TIS Experience Week, 10-17 March, 2012

Planning is well underway for the 2012 Experience Week trips.

Experience Week is an off-site program during which TIS students exchange their classrooms for trips and activities of a lifetime. Through adventure activities and cross cultural interactions, students gain valuable hands-on learning experiences, grow in independence and gain a better understanding of the universe around them.

The complete list of opportunities available can be found here - TIS Experience Week.

Students may decide to undertake an internship at 5 selected Macao businesses during this week. This experience is valuable for university applications and future careers. You can find out more information on the poster attached or by contacting Ms Hubert, jody.hubert@tis.edu.mo. Internships poster.
