We hope that you will join us!

Please let your child's classroom teacher know if you will be coming along.
Important Facility Update
Last Friday, the toilets in the Kindergarten hallway backed up. The plumbers were called and the situation was remedied before the end of the day. The plumbers worried that the pipes beyond the school might be restricted as well. On Monday, their fears were confirmed when the toilets backed up again. The toilets continue to work but if there is too much flow, the excess backs up.
The plumbers will be checking and repairing the pipes this week. In order to not overwhelm the drainage at that end of the school, we have asked students and teachers to use the toilets at the other end of the school. To assist, we have opened up the washrooms in the storage areas (next to the libraries and science labs).
We anticipate that the problem will be fixed by next Wednesday when school resumes after the long weekend.

TIS 2012-13 School Fee Schedule
Dear parents
The invoice for the 2012-13 school fees were sent home on Friday. Unfortunately the 2012-13 School Fee Schedule was not included. The School Fee Structure explains the tuition increase and the addition of the capital levy. The annual capital levy identifies a portion of the overall school fees for capital development and maintenance. Since the capital levy was added this year, we have kept the regular tuition increase as low as possible. The capital levy and the tuition increase together have been kept in line with inflation. The new fees were presented to TISPA earlier this year.
For additional information, please see the attached School Fee Schedule. If you have any questions please call or visit the school office and a member of the accounting staff would be happy to assist you.
I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this oversight may have caused. I will be back in Macau after April 7 and would be happy to answer any of your questions at that time.
All the best
Howard Stribbell
Head of Schools
各位家長，
2012-13學年第一期學費單已於3月30日寄出，信函尚應包括 “2012-13收費表”。收費表說明 “2012-13年度學費調整” 及 "校園、教學設施管理及發展" 費用的設立。全年度的學校收費中，有固定部份用於保障學校設施的發展及維護。基於此收費項目的設立，本校按照通漲，把學費增幅限制於最低幅度，並於較早前向 學校家長會 諮詢。 隨函送上“2012-13收費表” 謹供 閣下參考。若有任何垂詢，歡迎聯絡本校校務處，會計人員將提供協助。
不便之處，請予見諒。本人將於4月7日回澳，定當為各位解決疑問。
祝一切順利！
校長
Mr. Howard Stribbell
