We can't believe it, but summer is finally here, even for all us teachers and staff, but what a year it has been! There has been teaching and learning, Group 4 Projects, Drama Performances, outside speakers, a number of inter house competitions, from x-country, tug of war, debate and one of my favourites pride pinigis. Staff and students have volunteered their time to support those in need. I have been impressed by your generosity for others.

Every year in the spring out IB3 students display their art pieces part of their final project. Every year we are absolutely amazed at the work and pieces our students put together! Their creativity, attention to detail and artistic ability in whichever form they choose is just outstanding. Sadly over the past few years we have had to have the gallery on display in different ways and have not been able to involve the whole school and parents as we have in the past, so this year was extra special.

World Book Day is a yearly event, celebrated April 23rd, organised by UNESCO as a worldwide tribute to books and reading. According to UNESCO, April 23 is a symbolic day for literature since on that date 1616 both Shakespeare, Cervantes and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died. Of course we want to celebrate books and reading in our school as well!

Since April 23rd is a Saturday this year we will celebrate on Friday with various activities in the library.

For example: 

• Discuss books with IEGS Literature Club over fika (afternoon)

• IEGS Literature

From all of us here at IEGS, staff and students, we want to say a big thank you to all who contributed, visited and donated during our event. It was a fun day filled with activities, concerts, crafts, games, prizes, lots of yummy treats and so much more. Staff and students came together to make a wonderful day and we had almost 300 visitors come in and out during the event. Better yet we reached our set goal above and beyond, we never imagined that we would have been able to raise so much and it is thanks to all of you who contributed, so a big thank you!
