Jigsaw Semester 1 2012 - International Grammar School

This year’s inter-house arts festival was
an outstanding array of performances,
the likes of which have not been seen
since the 1970s, (the theme of 2010
that is!). To me Arts Fest is the day that
best acknowledges the individuality of
our school as a community. It is the
one day a year we are separated from
the uniform of a private school and
truly recognised as an army of
individuals rich in talent and creativity.
For me this is my favourite day of the
year because it allows us to uncover
the hidden talents of so many
individuals amongst us as well as
showcase the indefinable nature of
IGS. This day reminds us we are
unique from everyone else and should
always be celebrated.

Arts Fest is the best day in the school
year. You get up on stage with
everyone from your House and put on
an awesome dance for the rest of the
school. But the day is only half of it,
The preparation to Arts Fest is almost
as good. Possibly the best part is
choreographing the dances with
everyone included—and seeing it
change so much from what you
envisaged since everyone is so
different. Also, creating wacky plots
that vaguely attach to the theme is
possibly the most creative thing
anyone will ever do. But the main thing
I love about Arts Fest is the fact you
don't have to be good at any sports
(like the other Carnivals) and you can
still come first in your category.
