Last academic year we saw both Primary and Secondary students and
teachers involved in a number of fundraising activities. A lot of work goes into planning and hosting fundraising events. Our school has a Fundraising Policy to help you organize your fundraising event. Here are 7 steps to help you successfully organise your event and complete the fundraising application.
1. What is the purpose of the event? Before doing anything else, you must decide what the purpose of your event is. The Fundraising Application guides you through identifying your goals for the event. Figuring out these details for your event will depend on knowing what goals you are trying to
achieve.
2. What is your budget? List all the expenses and costs needed to hold the event. Will this money be taken out of the funds raised? Or will it be donated? This is also a question on the Fundraising Application.
3. Who are the people organising the event? On the Fundraising Application
list the names of the people who are responsible for organising and preparing the event. One must be a teacher overseeing the event.
4. Who is your target audience? Is this a fundraising event for the whole school? Or is the event just for Primary or for Secondary?
5. How will you advertise your fundraising event? You must make an advertising poster and include it with your Fundraising Application. You must include ‘when, where and why’ on your poster.
6. Getting your event approved. You must submit a complete Fundraising Application and then wait of it to be approved before you can start advertising your event.
7. The big day. Make sure you have everything set up before the start of your event. After the event, you must count the money raised and complete the Money Raised Form. Give the form and the money to the admissions office.

Congratulations to the class of 2015 for the excellent IBDP results. The 2015 cohort consisted of 28 students, 26 registered for IB Diploma and a further 2 students sat some subjects at the IB Course (ie SL Certificates). 
The results were remarkable with three students scoring 39 points and seven students scoring more than 35 points. 
We are very excited to be a part of Student Council, and hope that we will be able to make this year enjoyable for everyone.
Behind the scenes, Student Council also hopes to work with teachers and staff in different committees that may impact our student well being, while at the same time ensuring a fun, memorable, and fantastic year ahead.
Chatsworth International School has earned its official IB MYP authorization. This is exciting news that celebrates the commitment of our school leadership, faculty, students and community to developing IB learners. What a great way to kick off a new school year! I look forward to seeing MYP learning throughout the secondary school deep questioning, exploring big ideas, creating connections across cultures and across subject areas. For parents who would like to learn more about the MYP program, please attend a parent talk: An Introduction to the MYP scheduled for September 17th at 6pm. 
Welcome back to a new school year!
