MS MUN at Taipei American School
Students attended their first MUN Conference in Taipei a couple of weeks ago. It was such a success that we will continue with the club next year and look at attending another conference next Spring. Below is a little report from the chaperones:
“Our youngest participants made quite a splash at the conference. Karthik and Arya are the only 6th grade delegates here. Arya spoke strongly and Karthik (the youngest delegate of all) was lead submitter for a resolution that was ultimately passed.
All students are learning a lot and making new connections. Most importantly, they are having a lot of fun.”

MUSIC CONCERT UNIFORM
The neat, uniform appearance of Band and Choir members contributes greatly to the formality of the event. Looking sharp increases our students’ pride of accomplishment and the audience’s perception of the ensemble. Students that will be participating in the MS music program must wear special clothing for concerts consisting of a pair of full-length black dress pants, black dress shoes (no sandals), black socks and black belt. These pants and shoes can be purchased locally at Bata and other stores. Ask for school uniform pants and shoes.
In no case will black jeans, tights, skirts, shorts/pedal pushers, or sandals be an acceptable onstage attire.
A black music shirt purchased from the school store rounds off the concert outfit. This is a special, semi-formal shirt with our school’s official music logo. Any student who already possesses an AISC Music logo polo shirt may use it again.
The polo shirt will be available for Rs.400/- in the iHub store.
