What is Justice? How is God just? Why is Justice missing in the world? This term we have been asking that question throughout KISC both as students and staff as a school, as EQUIP, as an operations team. What we do know is that God is just. Our term verse, Deuteronomy 32:3-4 states that his works are perfect and all his ways are just. Both the primary and secondary assemblies have been shown the picture at left, that illustrates well the difference between equality and justice. Sometimes, in our weakness we forget this and desire to get the same as everyone else, yet actually, in a truly just school we should receive what we need. God loves us all equally, whatever our nationality, culture, gender, beliefs or religion. He demonstrated this to us through the cross which paid the ultimate price. But he does not treat us all equally.

This can be hard to accept at times, but we can be reassured that his works are perfect. At KISC we are aiming for excellent education that is just, but of course not necessarily equal. As a school we hope to do justice to the students through our classes, through our socialisation, through our events and activities. This term the students involved in swimming and basketball have been doing justice to their God-given talents. The swimmers have won many medals and the basketball team have brought home a rather large runners-up trophy from one tournament. Throughhardwork,practiceanddeterminationtheyhaveglorifiedGodandgrownasindividuals.The same can be said of all those involved in the Fiddler on the Roof production. Again, they are doing justice to their God-given talents through hard work and practice, whether it be through the managing of the lights, the painting of the sets, their part in the chorus or through the lead roles. In all over 100 students and many staff have been involved in one way or another. Please do come and support them all and purchase tickets for the shows. God Bless.

A NOTE FROM THE PRIMARY PRINCIPAL

If you asked me what is the best part about being at KISC, my answer wouldbeinparts,likeslicesofadeliciousapplepie.Onepartisdefinitelythe students! They are the joy of the campus, with their laughing, playing, learning, lining up, and smiling. The next part is the teachers and the important part they play here at KISC. They are all excellent in their teaching, but most of all they are excellent in how they love the students. The next part is the parents. The commitment of the KISC parents is beyond anything I have experienced as an educational leader. They are simply amazing. Another part is all the other staff here at KISC that makes this school work so smoothly. From the gate staff, security, maintenance, to the wonderful kitchen staff that I am convinced can cook anything, KISC is blessed with a community of servants! I am most blessed to be a part of the KISC community.

For His Glory,Michele Morton, Ed. D.(* 뒷면 한글 번역본 참고)

Year 3 is learning about communities this term and about different beliefs, traditions, and customs. They had the wonderful opportunity to have the Korean moms come in and teach about the Korean Thanksgiving Day called Chuseok. Chuseok is the biggest and most important holiday in Korea. Family members from near and far get together to give thanks for the abundant harvest.The parents taught Year 3 the history behind the holiday through a presentation that included food and traditional Korean dress. The students were able to participate in a number of activities including tug of war, trying on special Korean clothes, throwing rubber arrows in a bowl, and kicking che ki. The celebration ended with the traditional Korean food which the students enjoyed very much. (* 뒷면 한글 번역본 참고)

September 13, 2014: Art Training @ KISC for Kathmandu schools from 9am to 4pm. Training will be led by Sally Darlison from Australia (an artist and primary art teacher).

The KISC annual accounts have just been audited and the accounts presented and discussed at SMC. InNepal,thefinancialyearrunsfrommid-Julytomid-July.Herearesomehighlightsfromtheaccountswhichcover the period from mid-July 2013 to mid-July 2014. The total budgeted income for last year was Rs. 120 million. Actual income was Rs. 129 million (7% higher than budget). The main reason for this was the higher exchange rate of the rupee against the US dollar and UK sterling. The school also received some donations that had not been budgeted for. One of these covered the costs of renovating the science lab to meet MSA requirements. Over 80% of income for KISC comes from student fees. After this, donations for EQUIP are the next highest source of income. The total budgeted expenses were Rs. 110 million. The accounts show that the actual expenses were Rs. 128 million. This means we spent 16% more than we had budgeted. Whilst this sounds like a lot, a closer look shows that this is due to a high amount of depreciation. If depreciation is excluded, KISC would have under spent by 5% against the budget. During 2013/14, work wascompletedonthesportsfield.Astheleaseonthelandwasinitiallyforoneyearonly,theinvestmenton the site was been depreciated over the same period. This has led to a large amount of depreciation showing on the accounts. Over a third of expenses are directly related to students (teacher salaries, curriculum etc.) Another thirdisclassedas‘Administrative’andthisincludessalariesofalltheofficeandsupportstaffandthecostsof running the campus including the rent of our premises. Taking actual income and actual expenses, KISC made a surplus of just under Rs. 1 million (Rs. 933,878 to be precise). The end result is that KISC has more money in the bank at the end of July this year compared to a year ago. We have taken this opportunity to allocate more of these funds to the KISC Building Fund which now stands at Rs. 53 million (around $550,000). I know that many of you are not that interested in all this but if you do want more information, the accounts can be made available to you. Staff will get a chance to hear a short presentation at a forthcoming staffmeeting.IamhappytorespondtoanyspecificquestionyouhaveonbehalfofSMC.Ian Chadwell, Treasurer

ANNOUNCEMENTS INTRODUCING THE NEW PRIMARY PRINCIPAL

We are delighted to announce that Samantha Seymour has been appointed the Primary Principal

from January 2015 onwards. Samantha joined KISC back in July and is the year 3 teacher. She will continue in this role until December, while also being prepared by the current Principal, Michele Morton. Samantha spent 14 years as a class teacher in Alabama in the US. She has a Master’s degree in Collaborative Teaching and spent several years working as the lead teacher of a grade 3 team of teachers. The team of teachers and the students in grade 3 at the school was bigger than the whole of KISC Primary! Samantha’s husband is working in Nepal with Mountain Child and she has two children, Jack (Michael) in year 5 and Isabelle in year 4. God willing, they are committed to be in Nepal until at least 2018. We look forward to Samantha taking over in January and in the meantime ask that you pray for her as she prepares to take on this important role. (* 뒷면 한글 번역본 참고)

EQUIP Scholarship At KISC we believe that excellent education is a key to changing mindsets and transforming lives in Nepal. This is the reason KISC EQUIP was established over 7 years ago and why KISC TEC, a teacher training college, is being established. Another opportunity we are privileged to be involved in is to sponsor children in KISC EQUIP partner schools and by providing scholarships at KISC K-13. The KISC scholarship policy is used to determine the total number of students and amounts awarded. These are:

• A maximum of 5 students per Government school and 3 students per private school scholarships will be considered using KISC fee funds.

• The amount for scholarship for the students studying in a Government school is a maximum US$ 100 per year and those studying in a private school is US$ 200 per year for 2013. These amounts will be determined by the Scholarship Committee each year.

The last academic year (2013-14) 65 students from EQUIP partner school received scholarships totaling Rs. 9, 05,688. EQUIP received donations for all of the students supported. This year (2014-15), we have provided 81 scholarships at a total of Rs.12, 04,115. This year, EQUIP is still receiving donations, however KISC have committed to support up to one child at a KISC EQUIP partner school for each full fee payingstudentifthereisadeficitindonations.Supportprovided by KISC will be reported annually. EQUIP would like to extend its appreciation to the whole KISC community for their heart to support EQUIP to bring transformation to Nepali school communities.Thisyear9studentsfinishedtheirSLC(secondary school) with the scholarship support from KISC EQUIP. They may not have been able to continue their study otherwise.

공의란 무엇입니까? 하나님은 어떻게 의로우신 분입니까? 왜 세상에서 공의가 사라지고 있습니까? 이번 학기 동안 우리는 KISC 전체적으로 학생과 스탭, Equip, 모든 경영팀들이 이 질문을 하고 있습니다. 우리는 하나님이 공의로운 분이시라는 것을 압니다. 이번 학기의 성경말씀인 신명기 32:3-4절은 그가 하신 일이 완전하고 그의 모든 길이 정의롭다고 말합니다.Primary 와 Secondary 어셈블리에서 학생들은 평등(Equality)과 공의(Justice)가 어떻게 다른지 보여주는 그림을 보았습니다. 가끔씩 우리는 우리의 약점에 대해서는 평등과 공의의 차이점을 망각하며, 우리가 필요로 하는 것을 받을 수 있는 아주 정의로운 학교에서, 다른 사람들과 똑같은 것을 얻기를 꿈꿉니다. 하나님은 우리의 국적, 문화, 성별, 신념과 종교에 관계 없이 우리 모두를 사랑하십니다. 그분은 극한의 값을 치르신 십자가를 통하여 우리에 대한 당신의 사랑을 보여주셨습니다. 그러나 그분은 우리를 똑같이 대하시지는 않습니다. 때때로 이것을 받아들이기 어려울 수도 있지만 하나님이 하시는 일이 완전하시기에 우리는 안심합니다.KISC는 탁월한, 즉 공의로운 교육을 목표로 하지만, 공의로운 교육이 늘 똑같은 교육을 말하지는 않습니다. 학교로서 우리는 교실과 사회 활동에서, 그리고 행사와 활동에서 학생들에게 공의롭게 행할 수 있기를 희망합니다.이번 학기에 수영과 농구에 참여한 학생들은 하나님이 주신 재능에 공의로웠습니다. 수영팀은 메달을 많이 획득했고 농구팀은 토너먼트에서 2위 입상 트로피를 받아 왔습니다. 어려운 훈련과 투지력에서 학생들은 하나님께 영광을 돌렸고 한 명의 인간으로 성장했습니다.<지붕 위의 바이올린> 뮤지컬에 참여하는 학생들도 마찬가지 입니다. 이 학생들 역시, 뮤지컬에서 맡은 역할이 조명이든 무대 세트 페인팅이든 합창 파트이든 주연 배우이든 관계없이, 공의롭게 어려운 훈련과 연습을 했고 하나님께 영광을 돌렸습니다. 대략 100명을 넘는 학생과 직원들이 이러 저러한 방식으로 뮤지컬에 참여하고 있습니다. 공연에 오셔서 격려해주시고 뮤지컬 티켓을 구입하시기 바랍니다.

하나님의 축복이 있으시길Daniel ParnellSchool Director

교장의 편지

만약 누군가가 저에게 KISC에서 지내면서 가장 좋은 점이 뭐냐고 묻는다면, 저는 맛있는 사과파이 조각들이라고 할 것입니다. 첫번째 조각은 당연히 학생들입니다! 웃고 놀고 공부하고 줄을 서고 미소를 짓는 학생들은 교정의 기쁨입니다. 두번째 조각은 교사들과 그들이 KISC에서 감당하고 있는 역할입니다. 교사들 모두는 학생들을 가르치는 일에 뛰어나지만 그 무엇보다도 학생들을 사랑하는데에 탁월합니다. 다른 한 조각은 학부형들입니다. 저는 교육계 지도자로 일하면서 KISC 학부모님들이 학교에 보여주시는 헌신보다 더 대단한 것을 경험한 적이 없습니다. 정말 감탄이 나옵니다. 또 하나의 조각은 KISC가 부드럽게 돌아갈 수 있도록 일하고 있는 모든 스탭들입니다. 경비부터 보안, 시설유지, 무엇이든지 요리해 낼 수 있을 거라고 믿어 의심치 않는 훌륭한 주방 스탭까지 KISC는 섬기는 자들의 축복을 얼마나 많이 받은 공동체인지요! 저는 이 KISC 공동체의 일원이 되는, 가장 큰 축복을 받은 자입니다.

하나님의 영광을 위하여Michele Morton Primary Principal

Year 3는 이번 학기에 공동체와 다른 신념, 전통, 관습에 대하여 공부하고 있습니다. 한국인 어머니들이 오셔서 학생들에게 한국의 명절 추석에 대해 가르쳐 주는 좋은 기회를 가졌습니다. 추석은 한국에서 가장 크고 중요한 명절입니다. 원근각지의 가족들이 모두 모여 풍요로운 추수를 감사하는 날입니다. 부모님들은 Year 3학생들에게 음식과 한국 전통의상을 포함하여 추석의 역사에 대한 프리젠테이션을 했습니다. 학생들은 또한 몇가지 놀이도 함께 했는데 줄다리기와 한복 입어보기, 투호, 제기차기입니다. 이날의 행사는 한국 전통 음식을 먹으며 마무리 했는데 학생들이 굉장히 좋아했습니다.

지난 8월 13일 있었던 총학부모의 밤에 대한 설문조사에 응해 주신 학부형님들께 감사드립니다. 설문조사의 결과는 아래와 같습니다.86% 강당에서 열린 첫 세션이 ‘도움이 되었다’, 혹은 ‘큰 도움이 되었다’100% 새 리더십 구조가 명확하다86% 교실에서 진행된 세션이 KISC를 이해하는데 도움이 되었다100% 교사들의 답변이 향상되었다

총학부모의 밤을 어떻게 발전시킬 수 있을까에 대한 제언:“Teaching Team을 소개하는 것”, “천천히 말하기”, “10분이나 15분 정도 Secondary 선생님들과 만난 후에 교실을 둘러보는 것”, “첫 세션이 너무 길다”, “담임선생님들과 더 오랜 시간 이야기 하는 것이 필요함”, “새로운 학부모님들과 더 어울릴 수 있도록”, “기대했던 것 보다 더 많은 정보를 얻었다”, “졸업생 소식..KISC가 어떠한지…장기적으로 볼 때 학생들의 삶에 변화를 주기 위하여”

2015년도부터Samantha Seymour 선생님이Primary 교장으로 일하시게 되었음을 발표드리게 되어 기쁘게 생각합니다. Samantha 선생님은 지난 7월에 KISC로 오셨고 현재 Year 3를 맡고 계십니다. 12월까지는 담임을 계속 맡으실 것이며 현 Primary교장인 Michele Morton 선생님으로부터 인수 인계를 준비할 것입니다.Samantha 선생님은 미국 알라바마에서 교사로 14년간 일했습니다. 협동 교육(Collaborative Teaching)으로 석사학위를 받았고, 3학년 교사팀 리더로 수년간 일했습니다. 미국학교 3학년 교사와 학생팀의 숫자는 KISC Primary 전체보다도 더 많습니다.Samantha의 부군은 네팔 Mountain Child에서 일하고 있으며 자녀로는 Year 5의 Jack 과 Micheal , 그리고 Year 4의 Isabelle을 슬하에 두고 있습니다. 이 가족은 2018년까지 네팔에서 사역할 예정입니다. 우리는 내년 1월에 Samantha선생님이 교장직을 인수 받기를 기대하고 있으며, 그동안 여러분께서 Samantha 선생님이 이 중요한 역할을 잘 준비할 수 있도록 기도해 주시기를 부탁드립니다.

KISC 커뮤니티에게올 가을 학기를 훌륭하게 시작하게 해주셔서 감사 드립니다. 현재 많은 일들이 진행되고 있습니다만 어떤 것 한 가지를 강조하고 싶지는 않습니다.저는 여러분을 매주 월요일 8시 10분에 있는 PTA 기도회에 초대합니다. 오셔서 함께 해 주십시오. 우리의 기도는 영향력이 있고 우리는 학교가 그리스도와 함께 하는 모습을 보기 원합니다.여러분 모두 아시다시피 네팔 중서부 지역에서 큰 산사태가 있었는데, 12일(금)에 기금을 조성하기 위한 콘서트를 KISC에서 엽니다. 이 행사를 지원해주시고 오셔서 표를 구매하시기를 부탁드립니다. 또한 오실 때 함께 나눌 수 있는 스넥을 가져오시길 바랍니다. 만약 우리가 음식을 공급하면 모든 기금이 산사태 생존자들에게 전달될 것입니다.PTA에 무엇이든 가져올 것이 있으시거나 궁금한 점이 있으신 분은 여러분의 학급 대표에게 문의하시기 바랍니다. 만약 학급 대표자가 누구인지 모르시는 분은 저에게 연락주십시오. 축복하며, PTA의장 Mirjam Thiessenmirjamthiessen@gmail.com
