Mr Mike Simpson

Dear Secondary School Families,

On behalf of our whole Secondary School team, I would like to thank you for your support of our school’s mission and for trusting us with your children. It is a pleasure and a privilege to play such an important part in their development, and we thank you for your partnership.

Now, it is time to take a breath and reflect on what we have accomplished and learned together. It was a lot - inside and outside the classroom. 

Looking back through the yearbook

Families are invited to explore the 2025–26 Online Yearbook and revisit the celebrations, achievements, and experiences that shaped the school year. You can also browse our digital Yearbook archive, featuring editions from the 1970s to the present. Use the password YB2020 if prompted. We hope you enjoy looking back on another memorable year at ISY.

🎉 Celebrating Our Students and Community

Today, we closed the year in our Chinthe Communities with a student-led sports event. We made sure to reflect on all that we are grateful for and honored and farewelled our departing students and faculty members. We also welcomed our new Grade 6 students as they made the step up into the Secondary School.

☀️ Looking forward to next year!

School will resume at 8:00 AM on Tuesday, August 11.  We will have a new Secondary School Principal in Mr. Ronnie Caldwell. He is excited to join our community, and we are excited to have him join us. 

I am very grateful to have led the Secondary School for the last four years, and I look forward to my new role as ISY School Director.

It really is a privilege to serve our wonderful community.Wishing you all a safe and happy summer.

Kind regards,

Mr. Mike Simpson

Secondary School Principal
