Dear IGBIS Parents and Community Members,
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshops for Parents and the Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The workshop on flower arrangements delivered by one of our IGBIS parents was fully subscribed this week. Twenty enthusiastic parents and community members watched a demonstration and then set about creating their favourite bouquet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise the workshop on parenting had a very good turn-out.  One of the discussion points was how we as adults can manage and balance the demands of 21st century living. This workshop will be the first of a series of workshops on parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school plans to expand on the offerings of parent workshops in the future.

International Day and 5 Year Celebration on March 16<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our biggest event of the school year is now just two weeks away. Please make sure that you have this day marked on your calendar. Since we are celebrating (nearly) 5 years of \u2018Living our Legacy\u2019, as well as International Day, the programme is really exciting. We hope to see many of our past students and staff (our alumni) joining the celebrations, so please pass on our invitation in case they didn\u2019t hear directly from us!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks back I shared a photo of meeting up with some of our alumni in London. Ms Boyd wasn\u2019t able to make it to the dinner but has since caught up with some of our students who went on to study in Japan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News from Secondary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear parents,
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our second round of innovation projects are underway, as teams of students from all grade levels of MYP investigate a United Nations Global Goal for Sustainable Development of their choice. They have begun the process of researching into an area of the Goal, and working together to formulate a plan that will result in service as action; which is an essential component of the MYP. The topic itself is exciting for students, but what makes it even more interesting is that groups are mixed by age, with students having aligned themselves with topics that match their own passions or interests. Through the beginning of this process I have enjoyed seeing the leadership of our Grade 9 and 10 students in particular, though sometimes it is not only them. Sometimes it is a Grade 7 student who is standing up and helping to lead a group! This is a new direction for us, an innovative approach where students continue to develop their skills in research, planning and action. It will be exciting to see what comes of the projects, and I encourage our MYP parents to speak with their son\/daughter about the topic they are involved in.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely yours,
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

News from Elementary School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week saw two parent education events take place. On Tuesday 26th a group of about 20 parents attended the hand bouquet workshop. This was a great event to build community and I am sure the parents learned a lot and were able to create some masterpieces to appreciate.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday 28th Ms. Aga ran the parenting workshop \u2018How to help our children self-regulate to be emotionally, socially and physically balanced\u2019. I am sure the practical tips to the 40 parents who attended can be used at home.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Elementary school production team is working tirelessly behind the scenes, as they assist the students to entertain you with Roald Dahl\u2019s musical \u201cCinderella\u201d. If the singing practices in the last two ES assemblies are anything to go by, it is sure to be an enjoyable event on 27th March at 1.45pm.
