Induction Day/ First Day of School
The new academic year will start on Tuesday, 27th August 2024. Prior to this, new students will be invited to an Induction Day on Monday, 26th August 2024.
If your child / children are joining during the academic term, please note that on their first day in school, we will spend the first hour or so of their first day, introducing them to school and sorting out a number of practical issues.
The details of this induction will differ according to your child's age and what class or year level they are joining in JIS.
This typically includes for Senior students:
- Meeting your Head of House
- A school photo
- A school tour
- Collection of the campus card
- Login to school email
- School lockers
If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the Admissions team who will be happy to help.
