A new year, a new term

We would like to wish you all a happy new year and hope you all have enjoyed the December break and that the children are returning refreshed and enthused about school start. 

We will be having a look at school dates and times during the first two weeks of school so please keep an eye on the school calendar on the webpage for important dates and information. 
 
The weather is strange these days, but that being said the usual attire should be available for the children to wear: 
  • Rain gear
  • Boots
  • Winter clothes (hat/gloves)
  • Umbrellas are not an appropriate solution for a school
There is also a slight restructuring of the lessons due to the recruitment of a physical education teacher. The timetables will be posted on the webpage - but most importantly start and finish times have not changed.

42 applications for grade 1

It has been a very exciting first term and the future looks promising and secure for Asker International School. We have yet to enter the calendar year for 2014 and we have already received 42 applications for grade 1 in August 2014. 

We began the year with 39 students on 19th August 2013. We will have 55 from January and our school community continues to grow. 

As long as we have room in our classes we gladly welcome applications at any stage of the year. Please contact the school for more information if you are interested. 

Thanks again to all our supporters in Asker kommune and to our sponsors who helped establish the school and secure it's growth and development. 

A happy and prosperous new year to all.

New Physical Education teacher

We had a substitute teacher in with grade 4 for the past two months and our experience with him has been excellent. As our student numbers have grown slightly our budget allows us the flexibility of creating our first subject specialist teacher. 

Mr. Andrew has extensive experience and training in physical education. As such we have recruited Andrew Johns to fill the role of P.E. teacher for all grades from January 2014. Each grade will have a 90-minute P.E. slot on a weekly basis, taking place on Mondays or Tuesday. 

New timetables will be circulated to all parents. School start and end times will not change before August 2014.

15:30 Concert start Introduced by Mr. Robert

16:30 School social, music and raffle

17:30 – End (approximately)

Please note transitions can change on the day. We have elected to have the performance in the school library area, for acoustics and also to make it a more intimate event. 

As tempting as it maybe, please leave your child(ren) under our supervision until the concert has ended. At the end of the concert you have supervision of your child. The kids will be very excited on the day and we need them to follow our instruction leading up to and during the event. We don't want them eating sweets/cakes until the concert is finished. 

It is a short event but I hope it will be a pleasant one. If you need to deviate from the above plan please let us know. 

Friday 20th December

This is our last school day in 2013, unbelievably. We are planning on having a grill-out and music outside (unless the weather is truly miserable - rain and/or -15). After that we will have a final year assembly and finish at the normal time of 14:45. SFO will run until 17:00 as usual. Nothing other than appropriate clothing is necessary on the last school day. The kids can bring snacks, but they can be eaten at the discretion of the class teacher. But no fizzy drinks please. 

As always, please make sure your child has the appropriate attire for school as we will almost always go out for break times. If you know your child will not be in attendance for any of the above and you have not notified the school, please let us know. If you wish to pick your child up early on the last day of school you may, but please let us know.
