Announcement 01: Important Notice – Gate 1 Roadworks and Traffic Adjustments 

Dear Parents,

Due to construction work entirely beyond our control, partial road closure is expected to begin on Sunday, April 27, 2025, next to Gate 1 for at least one month. In light of this, and to ensure the safety of our students and the entire school community, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following important measures (please see this map to further understand the changes):

1. Early Arrival Recommended: We strongly encourage all families and staff to arrive earlier than usual to avoid delays caused by restricted road access. Supervision will be available from 06:45 as follows:

• Grade 1 to Grade 5 students in the Gate 2 Reception Area, 
• Falcon’s Nest & KG students in the Gate 2 Reception Area 
• Secondary School students in the Reception Area of Buildings B (6-12 girls) D (6-12 boys)

2. Late Arrivals: Our Administration team will also be flexible with late arrivals with no student to be marked late until after 8:00 am.

3. Further Information:

Gate 1 – Limited Access: Gate 1 will be open from 6:40 am to 7:10 am. After that time we will have to close Gate 1 to all traffic to keep the single lane clear. [Please note that the central reservation will be closed opposite Gate 1 and no dropping off or collection can take place on the opposite side of the road].

Gate 2 – No Changes to Current Procedures: Access and procedures at Gate 2 will remain unchanged. Parents and staff using this gate may continue following the same entry and exit routines currently in place.

Gate 3 – Drop-off and Temporary Parking: The road will remain open to allow for safe student drop-off at Gate 3, after which vehicles should promptly exit the area to maintain traffic flow. The area leading to Gate 3 will be designated for a limited number of parking spaces.

Gate 1, 2 and 3 will all be open as usual at the end of the school day for collection, but pick up from Gate 1 is dissuaded due to the expected congestion.

Finally, we ask for full cooperation with our security personnel, they are there to manage traffic and ensure everyone’s safety. 

We greatly appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and support during this temporary period.

Sincere Regards,

IPS Administration

Announcement 02: IPS Students' School Photo Session with Stu Studios

Dear Parents,

We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Stu Studios to provide professional photography services at the school from April 27 to May 1. During this period, all students will have their photos taken with the following options available:  

                                                                 Portrait                                                                                                                                             3/4 Photo

During the photo session, our photographer will distribute access cards to students and teachers, allowing them to log in online once the photos are published and conveniently view and purchase them.

Photo Purchase and Delivery Process:

• Parents will have a 10-day window after the photo sessions to place their orders and benefit from the free school delivery option.
• After this period, photos will be available for digital purchase only, except for class group photos, which will not be available in digital format to protect students' privacy.
• Due to high shipping costs, we cannot send photos to parents individually. Instead, all orders will be shipped to the school in bulk, and parents can collect their photos from [responsible department name].
• We are excited to offer this service, which will provide students and parents with a wonderful opportunity to capture and cherish lasting memories from this academic year.

IPS School Photo Session Schedule

Period: April 27 – May 1, 2025

Important Notes:

• Photo sessions will take place during school hours according to the schedule above.
• Students must wear their official school uniform on their designated photo day.
• Please note that photographers may request different poses from your child, some smiling with the teeth, some without, to offer multiple options to you, and if your child wears glasses, they may ask them to take them off for a photo.(This is purely for editing reasons if there is a glare from the glasses). 
• After the shoot, your child will bring home a Password Card, which has a unique code for your child on it. The card contains instructions of how to access your child’s photos. When creating an account, please be advised to only use one email address, and not to create multiple accounts. 
• Once photos are ready parents will be notified through email that the photos are ready for viewing and purchase.
• Once you have created an account and added your child’s unique code, you will not need the unique code again, as your child will be linked to your account.

For any inquiries, please contact Stu Studios.

Best regards,

IPS Administration
