Dear XLIS Community,
Greetings!
I would like to share the good news that XLIS has successfully completed the staff recruitment for the 2023-2024 academic year, many thanks for the dedicated and collaborative work of the Senior Leadership and Human Resources Department. A secondary drama teacher will join XLIS in August and the performing arts team will be stronger and more diversified.
Based on the Data from our Admissions Team, our school is currently full in 3 grades, and there are still many international families on the waiting list. If your family/child has planned to leave XLIS, please kindly let us know your decision before April 10th (pr@xalis.com). Thank you for your understanding and support!
In March, XLIS successfully conducted activities such as principal-parent coffees, parent talks, parent workshops, and students’ academic or talent performance, which means that we are on the right path toward a truly community-driven approach. The annual XLIS Sports Day will be held on March 31st, this Friday. Please refer to the email sent by PR on March 24th for the schedule and registration. All parents are warmly welcome to join us. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the following teachers.
Primary: Mr. Romann. Loubser ( romann.loubser@xalis.com)
Secondary: Mr.Kevin McGarry (kevin.mcgarry@xalis.com)
I would like to highlight April’s upcoming events as follows.
Principal – Parent Coffees
Registration for Principal-Parent Coffees will continue to be open to all parents every Monday morning in April. If you have any concerns about your child’s school life and want to discuss it with HOS or Deputy HOS, please feel free to book in advance via the link below.
