The school office will be closed for the whole vacation.
Parent Cafe
8th May, 9.00am, Library
Music and Movement for Young Learners
See the importance why we connect young children with music. Through modeling and gentle guidance, very young children can learn to read basic rhythmic and melodic patterns as they sing, play, and move to music. Hands on, practical Parent Cafe!

Secondary School Admissions
As part of our ongoing collaberation with the secondary schools we feed into, Mr Inman met yesterday with the headmaster of Canadian Academy, Jon Schatzky. The feedback about our graduates is very positive and next school year we will be further developing our connection and we look forward to sending many more of our students there in the years to come. Hats
Very Important!
As the weather is now getting hotter, please make sure that your child has a hat for outside play from after Golden Week. No hat - no play!
Student Art and Princesses
In case you are in town, please make a trip to MOTOMACHI SHOTENGAI (Shopping Arcade) to look at the art our DSKI children made.
This was for the Motomachi drawing contest and the pictures will now be displayed between Saturday, 27th April and Monday, 6th May 2019
in the arcade's 5 chome of Motomachi. Just ask the locals!
Another event is the INFIORATA in Kitano-cho.
The whole of Kitano-zaka Street will be covered in flower carpets with elaborate designs from Saturday, 27th April to Monday, 29th April 2019.
Beside the flowers there will be music, food stalls, performances, a Harley Davidson exhibition and our very own DSKI princesses!
