"Dear Parents,
On February 10th, teachers and students commenced the first week of the second semester of the school year 2017. I would like to thank all parents for the support they have given to WASS since the start of the school year. Having worked hard, WASSers have achieved notable successes in both the international and national competitions. From the start of this year the Western Australian International School System has shown strong growth in student numbers. Your school continues to develop rapidly.
One again, I sincerely thank you for your continued support as we look confidently towards the future. Now, in the following pages let’s look back over the events of the past month.
Best regards,"
