From the Head of School<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we get to know each other, you’ll soon find out that I’m easily excitable when it comes to learning, school and all-things educational. It has been wonderful to have the DP students on campus to join our Early Years’ students and as you’ll read in the Secondary School News below from Mrs Sandy, they were busy celebrating a huge part of what makes the DP and CP programme special today with Phoenix Talks. Kudos to them and the Secondary Team that supported their journeys along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, I am very excited (a theme as you can start to see!) for my first Open Day tomorrow where we have a chance to tell prospective families all about the people, philosophy and programme that make IGBIS a great place to be. From celebrating our Mission, Vision and Motto<\/a>, to helping families understand the School<\/a> and the IB<\/a>, to celebrating the Five Pillars that make IGBIS truly unique, it would be a shame to not share the same information with our current families so that’s what I will do next week! Look for a copy of the slides we use tomorrow for our Open Day in the newsletter so you too can see why I already believe that this is a pretty special place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great weekend and to those celebrating Happy Halloween!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do hope that you had a restful week last week during our school holiday and that you returned to distance learning a little more rested. This week started with a wonderful reminder in our ES school assembly of how creative our young learners are as they celebrated the week of play that happened before the holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week has been all about putting the final touches on our return to face to face learning. The teachers have been coming into school to create a welcoming environment for our students. I have included a sneak peek into our physical set-up. Can you guess which grade level areas are featured?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday 29th<\/sup> October, our House Captains organised their first House event. A house dress-up day. As I was in school there were quite a few EY and KG students all dressed up. I look forward to seeing more pictures from this community-building event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know Ms Meena has been working with our KG students in preparation for our Deepavali assembly that is happening on Wednesday 3rd November at 2.15 pm. The assembly link will be sent closer to the time, so check your emails or Toddle announcements for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
