Week Seven - October 11th, 2024
Sarah McLean
Head of Primary
Dear Primary Families,
I hope this message finds you well. It has been an exciting and enriching week here at GIS, and I wanted to share some wonderful updates with you.
We had the privilege of celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week with the entire school community. In partnership with Vivamus Clinic, we successfully hosted a series of workshops for students, parents, and staff. These workshops focused on promoting well-being, resilience, and mindfulness—key elements that support not only our children's learning but also their overall happiness and growth. Thank you to all the parents who attended these sessions, your involvement is deeply appreciated!
In other exciting news, we are thrilled to announce that we have opened a brand-new KG1 class! This addition marks a fantastic milestone for our growing community, and we warmly welcome all the new families joining GIS. Our young learners are already settling in and engaging with their new environment.
We also have a GISPA led initiative next week: Women's Health Week (poster below). We hope a lot of you will attend the parent sessions and as a community we hope we raise awareness for the importance of women's health.
Lastly, a quick reminder that our midterm break is just around the corner and will take place from October 21st to October 28th. We hope this will be a restful and enjoyable time for everyone.
Thank you once again for your continued support. We look forward to more learning and fun in the coming weeks!
Warm regards,
Sarah Mclean
