DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Damian Ward, Director of School WELCOME TO VERITA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL! The role of this publication is to share just a few of the many stories about the things that make our school special. As you will discover in the following pages, VIS approaches learning from multiple perspectives. We do so, in an attempt to provide endless paths for our students to grow in their understanding of themselves and the world around them in new and exciting ways. In this edition the role of student choice, voice and agency will begin to resonate. Our aim is to develop the skills that our students will need to be successful in the next few decades. As is often quoted: "We are preparing our students for many jobs that currently do not exist!" [Nicole Kruger] With this thought in mind our fantastic staff have been generating interesting investigations and enquiry opportunities. It is by thinking outside the box that so many of the great problems which have faced the human race throughout history have been solved. It would be fantastic to think that some of our scholars could be those minds of the future, solving the conundrums which affect our daily lives. So enjoy the stories, reports and poetic license, Reflect upon the chance to help your child make history. Believe in the future that all our children can create And keep the desire to learn burning as a stellar trait! VERITA INSIGHTS  |  3
