ACAMIS Swimming Champions 2014

ACAMIS Swim - what a carnival atmosphere

Its not all about winning, although it was nice to win again. The atmosphere around campus last Friday and Saturday was fantastic. The hundreds of visitors felt so welcome at NIS with lots of comments about the campus design as well as the professional manner in which the swim tournament was run. The beautiful, sunny Spring weather made the campus look like we were having an outdoor carnival.

The time some of our PTA members, volunteer parents and teachers put into NIS, beyond the school day, is important to highlight. It is the difference between being a community and talking about community. I hope to see many of you tomorrow for our first Earth Hour celebration. Raising awareness about the use of energy and preserving our natural resources is again a lesson much better learned through the experience of taking action rather than merely talking about it.

Have a Monumental March

2Membership of the NIS Board

The NIS Board experiences the same challenge to continuity that occurs throughout our community with families coming and going from NIS. The Board has an ad hoc committee made up of three members from the Governance Committee to seek out possible future Board members should openings occur. We are looking to add to the diverse group of parents who are ready to serve should the need arise.

There are two very important points to consider based on our Articles of Association:1. Any person who is co-opted to fill an opening must stand at

the next election.2. Any person nominated from the Governance Committee to fill

an opening at the end of year must stand for election against any other nominated member.

In other words the Board is involved in Succession Planning for membership, but the final decision is left to the members. Louise Liu was co-opted this year.

Current Status of Members of NIS Board

Of the current NIS Board:

Andy Chang and Mirella Savegnago are at the end of their current two year term. Mirella Savegnago has advised that she will be standing again for election to the NIS Board for a further two year term. Andy Chang will not be standing for re-election. Louise Liu was co-opted this year and must stand for election.

Julia Gusten (Board Chair), Bernhard Weber (Finance Committee Chair), Patrick Heckelmann (Board Vice Chair) and Monique Taylor (Governance Committee Chair) are at the end of their first year and have confirmed they will continue as Board Members.

The school website link to Governance www.nanjing-school.com/about-3/governance/ has a brief bio for Board members.

Annual Election of Members for the NIS Board

The Governance ad hoc committee is presently meeting possible candidates. If you would like to be considered please contact Monique Taylor, Governance Committee ChairNanjing International School Board [email protected] Mobile - 18252016664

1st Prize in High School Novice Debating (Jaren/Jayla)1st Prize in Impromptu Speaking (Suraj)2nd Prize in Middle School Duet Acting (Catherine/Luke)3rd Prize in High School Duet Acting (Michelle/Maristella )

The tournament was divided into two divisions of twelve teams. NIS entered one team in the Division one and two teams in Division two. Each team consisted of a boys single, girls single, boys double, girls double and mixed doubles teams.

At the end of three days, the NIS 1 team received a trophy for second place in Division 1 , the NIS 2 team received a trophy for a first place in Division 2 and the NIS 3 team finished 7th place in Division 2. All the players contributed to the success enjoyed by the first two teams.

MARCH 21ST & 22ND, 2014

2014 ACAMIS SWIM CHAMPIONSHIPS

On Friday and Saturday NIS hosted the ACAMIS Swim Championships and were victorious in their quest to win the team trophy for the second year running. This event is different to our normal competition format as this is the only meet all year in which we swim in preliminary heats and finals - if we can make them.

The competition at this meet was very even on paper going into the event and after 2 days racing and 61 events and with only 4 relays left to conclude the meet the results were tied between NIS and SCIS. It was in this race where the NIS girls 13 -14 years relay team clinched victory with a nail biting finish as Sophie touched out the SCIS swimmer for the win, that combined with all the other fantastic individual and team performances helped put NIS in a winning position, securing victory by just 28 points.

The meet was attended by 12 visiting international schools from China and Hong Kong; there were 240 swimmers in total with 30 coaches and over 150 parent spectators. There were 86 relays and 1160 individual event entries swum. NIS set 26 new school records some records were broken twice so there were actually 32 records broken over the 2 days. The quality of racing was nothing short of fantastic to watch.

Events like this cannot work without the help and support of many people and I would like to thank them all including: Our Athletics Director Danny who co-organised the event, all the teams travel, accommodation, meals and any other needs, etc; the NIS Facilities Team who organised the set up and bus logistics and were here until 10pm changing set up from Friday to Saturday and making me look so organised; Annie and the Eurest staff who provided food over the two day event including a spectacular buffet banquet for the awards ceremony; the parents and teachers who volunteered their time to marshal, referee, give out ribbons, take photos, administrate the meet, support the swimmers, etc, etc, etc; the C&S students for giving up their time to help; the NIS video review team who have made a wonderful film of the event getting some incredible footage with their underwater camera equipment; all the NIS staff and sports coaches who have been sooo flexible and supportive helping make time so the swimmers can keep up with all their other commitments and finally all the aquatics team for their tireless work organising and running the meet, both in front and behind the scenes.

Finally, but most importantly, a huge congratulations to all the NIS Sea Lions Swim Team including those who were not selected for this meet, their hard work and dedication to training shone through with some amazing swims and personal best times. This was the culmination of 7 hard months of training and competing as a team leading into this event. Your coaches, Grace and all the community at NIS are extremely proud of you all. Well done. NIS Rocks!!!!!!!!!

All race results can be seen posted outside my office in The Centre.
