Rugby Training - a visit from New Zealand

Asker International School was visited by a New Zealand Sevens Rugby team, the Pirates, who are in country for a 7s competition called TabuSoro Valhall Seven's taking place on March 20th at Vallhall  arena.

Thanks to the efforts of David Scavera, representing Blindern Rugby Klubb and our own Andrew Johns, grade 6 teacher and PE teacher for the school, we had a wonderful day event with grades 5 and 6. 

The kids were fully engaged and enjoyed a display of the Haka as an added bonus. We were also very happy to have a visit from Budstikka newspaper. 

The team consists of: 

Jordan Keene

Josh Stewart

Jareth Bassett

Sean Ronald

Tanu Misa

Teachers unpack the Learner Profile

The Learner Profile unpacked by the teachers

The Learner Profile as unpacked by AIS teachers December-March 2015

The teachers have spent some time in their collaborative sessions to look at the Learner Profile in an inquiry-based fashion. This has been a very useful activity because it gives the teachers more of an ownership of something that is already well defined by the International Baccalaureate. Through doing this, they factor in the relevance of the Learner Profile in their grade level in our school.

Disco Fever!

Disco Night a Grand Affair

The disco night was a very successful after-school event that was organised by the parent council. The event ran from 17:00-19:00 with a lot of fun, frolics and food had by all. 

We thank the parents for their initiative and the students for their enthusiasm. A definite do-over event, all would agree!

Images courtesy of Rita, grade 2 parent - much obliged.

Superfish - possible malware threat

Notification from AVG advising on a possible threat on your computer. 

 

 

How to remove Superfish


and its certificate from your Lenovo® PC

Superfish logo

What is Superfish?

Superfish is a piece of software that Lenovo has admitted to pre-installing on many of its laptops to "enhance the shopping experience" of its users. However, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team calls Superfish a "man-in-the-middle attack" because of how it "intercepts users' web traffic to provide targeted advertisements."

 

Why is Superfish so dangerous?

Superfish snoops in on your web browsing and secretly slips ads into webpages. But the really dangerous part is that it's pre-installed with root certificate authority, which allows it to impersonate any server's security certificate.

 

If this certificate is compromised by hackers, you could be tricked into logging in to a fake website and giving hackers your password. Because of Superfish, any of your accounts—including encrypted bank accounts—could be easily compromised.

Will restoring from a backup help?

Superfish has been pre-installed by Lenovo. Therefore, restoring your computer to factory condition from either a backup partition or a backup DVD will not solve the problem if Superfish is also part of your backup. Superfish would only be reinstalled, too.

So if you ever use a backup to restore your system, you may need to again remove Superfish and its root security certificate from your system.
