Message from the Head of School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It has been a big week at IGBIS. The 24 Minute Race saw all of our Elementary School students enthusiastically participating with their Secondary School team members, cheered along by parents and teachers alike. It looks like the big event, the 24 Hour Race, will be a great success on November 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday and over the weekend IGBIS hosted a number of regional activities including professional development sessions for our teachers, a weekend workshop for members of the East Asia Regional Council of Schools run by Ms Sylvia Tolisano, OpenApply Admissions Conference for admissions staff, Youth Student Theatre rehearsal, Performing Artists in Residence with the KL Shakespeare Players, a U13 Netball Tournament, and a 24 Hour Race marshall briefing with nearly 100 student volunteers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to IGBIS students who attended the World Scholar Championship at Yale University and won the first place cup for team writing! More on this next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Elementary School Principal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of the week for me was the 24 Minute Race. It was a wonderful event that started in the Theatre with the run organisers sharing why we were doing it. The 24 Hour Race that will be taking place next weekend on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th November. This is a race designed to raise awareness and money to help organisations and individuals who may be victims of human trafficking. In Elementary terms, we presented this information as \u2018being forced to do things that they don\u2019t want to do, by people who are strangers\u2019. So why was it a highlight? The sense of community that ran through the event. The Secondary students running alongside the Elementary students, the care and consideration- lending a helping hand or an encouraging word. These were powerful and moments to cherish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also earlier this week, the students were given \u2018random acts of kindness\u2019 as they entered the school. This was a great way for students to tune in to how we can be kind and caring to one another. The smiles on students\u2019 faces when they were a recipient of one of these was another smile point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
