Oktoberfest

8th October
We are looking forward to celebrating our Oktoberfest soon! Once again due to the pandemic we will be running an in school event for students to enjoy.

Fun stations are planned for the yard, small Multi Purpose Room and 1st floor hallway. They are still a secret though!

Every class will have around 30 minutes to experience them. And dont worry - no contact between classes. 

Some games and activities will also be held in the classroom.

Parents, could you please 

- Prepare a Bavarian themed lunch (sausages, mashed potatoes etc.) 

- If you have an Oktoberfest costume by chance then sure the students may wear it

Bread Orders for Students to Bring Home

In addition the PTA is preparing a fundraising event. They will be preparing an assortment of delicious breads for everyone to purchase, made by Köln, a German bakery in Kobe. 

Detailed information will be sent out next week.

Dear DSKI community, 

Hello, Miles and I raised funds to donate to UNICEF during last year's PYP Exhibition. Thank you very much for all your support for guiding us during PYPX and those who kindly donated. We could donate 10,000 JPY for UNICEF. Please see the attached the thank you card from UNICEF. 

There are still bags with the No Poverty logo ( 4 of red, 7 of dark blue) . If some of you are interested in donating to UNICEF by purchasing the bags, please kindly contact me via my homeroom teacher Ms dAmours!

Thank you again. Have a nice and safe weekend.
