So as we had stated in our previous blog this past week KISC
was visited by an inspection team from the USA. They were from an organisation
known as MSA (Full name: Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools – so you see why we just say MSA) and were looking at all
aspects of the school to ensure we were living out our values and providing
good education.
The KISC mission statement is “To be living witnesses of
Christ’s love through excellent education” and it was agreed that this is what
KISC is doing and so we passed! This was a process that was started way back in
January as we formed a team to guide the school through the whole process, firstly
reviewing every aspect of the school and writing a report on it and secondly
setting ourselves objectives and action plans for improving the school over the
next seven years.
The inspection team spent 4 days at the school and concluded
in their ‘oral’ report that was read to the staff on Thursday that KISC “lives
its mission and values though an identifiable integration of faith life and
culture”. They also said the school was “vibrant with activity and learning”
and that students were achieving or exceeding their academic potential.
After so much work that had been put in by so many staff,
students and parents, it was great to be able to hear such positive news on
Thursday. Even at 5,000 miles away we were feeling the excitement and joy of
the KISC community.
