Dear Parents and Students
A warm welcome back to everyone after what I trust was an enjoyable and relaxing National Holiday. In fact, the holiday
got underway on Friday evening 26 September with some very exciting news for the IST community when Mr.
Kavanagh’s wife, Ayeza, gave birth to a beautiful little boy who they have named Dilon (the Irish spelling of
Dylan). We are all very excited for Mr. Kavanagh and Ayeza as the begin life’s greatest and most fulfilling
adventure. Mother and son are both very well. And Mr. Kavanagh is positively glowing!
Most members of the IST and Tianjin expatriate community will now have learned of the sad news that
REGO has been forced to close its doors to students. This is an incredibly upsetting and distressing
event for everyone in the Rego community, and I wish to extend our school’s sympathies and best
wishes to all who have been affected.
On Wednesday evening many fortunate members of our community witnessed the ‘Birth of the Cool’
here at IST when treated to an evening of jazz music performances from IST students, teachers, and
other musicians. It was a wonderful night, and congratulations and thanks go to all of the performers and
stagehands, and especially to Ms. Barker who planned and coordinated the evening.
Sadly there have been a few tears at IST today and yesterday – not to mention a few shrieks and screams. Yes,
it was time for the annual seasonal influenza vaccinations, and it appears that the process of needle insertion does
not wholly fascinate everyone in our community! In spite of the obvious trauma, we nevertheless encourage all members
of the community to consider receiving the annual influenza vaccination as it not only helps keep you well, but it also reduces
the spread of the identified seasonal influenza viruses and the associated possibility of mutation with some of the more sinister
strains.
All parents should have received an updated Emergency Telephone Tree on Tuesday. Please do check your details again and
ensure that everyone in your family is familiar with the protocol and that your tree is close at hand in case a fog day is called.
I will be away from school next week while I attend an accreditation visit at an international school in Tokyo. In my absence Mr.
Hilleson will be Acting Director.
I wish you all a great week ahead.

Warm regards

Girls Middle School Soccer Update
DOWN BUT NOT OUT
On September 23rd the IST youth 13 girls soccer team went to TIS to play a match. We played for 40 minutes
and by halftime IST was down 2-0. Although we rallied in the second half with Chae Rin Lim scoring a goal.
Unfortunately we could not build on this with TIS finishing the game off with one last goal. The score at the end
was 3-1. Overall everyone played very well even though they had substitutes and we didn’t.
On Tuesday the 23rd of September the IST U14 girls played a soccer match against TIS. The first goal of the match
was scored by TIS, which made our team more determined to score. We were all ecstatic when the first goal of
the year was scored against TIS. However, TIS were equally as determined to win and ended up doing so. Even
though they won, each member in our group kept their heads held high and showed good sportsmanship. Every
member in our team worked very well and in the future with hard work and determination we will be able to beat
them. The girls played extremely hard and were tied for the majority of the match with TIS but the final score
was 2-4.
On Thursday September 25th we played Wellington and tied 1-1. Anna scored a goal in the second half. We were
really good at passing to teammates but we need to improve on dribbling the ball and making sure our shots are
on target. I think that the IST girls did a great job today.
