Year 1 – Sally-Rose Ilderton<br />

I am sad to be leaving GIS, it has been amazing. I remember first<br />

arriving (on my birthday). Dr Tasker picked us up from the airport<br />

and took me to my first 'Asian toilet' at the service station. I didn't<br />

think I was going to last very long here! But everyone made us feel<br />

very welcome and helped us settle in. My favourite part of GIS is<br />

the parties (obviously!) The Indian dancing at Diwali and Loy<br />

Kratong celebrations are amazing and I will never forget being<br />

thrown in the swimming pool by Year 1 children during Song Kran<br />

(they can be pretty strong when they gang up together!) - Ananya's<br />

talent show dance is definitely up there as a top moment too!<br />

I have also loved being the Primary Tiger House captain; you have worked so hard,<br />

and made it really fun for me! We couldn't have done so well this year without Grace<br />

and Fabio (and Jessica and Rida!) Good luck in Secondary, you are amazing!!<br />

You've all been awesome and I will miss you very much! Look out for me on TV at the<br />

Rio Carnival, or playing football in this summer’s World Cup festivities (I wish!)<br />

Year 4 – Ellie Holloway<br />

I can’t believe that I've been here for two years! Now it’s time to<br />

say goodbye and time really does fly when you’re having fun! I've<br />

had a great time at Garden and gained many memories that will<br />

stay with me forever. The children and staff have been great and I<br />

will miss them greatly. Working here has also given me the chance<br />

to travel around South East Asia, experiencing new cultures and<br />

gaining new experiences. My next adventure starts in August<br />

when I head over to Qatar. If I hang around long enough I may get<br />

to watch the World Cup….<br />

Year 5 – Brenda Lane<br />

Wow! What an amazing 2 years it has been. I am so fortunate to<br />

have had the opportunity to come live in beautiful Thailand, and<br />

teach at Garden International School. It has been an exciting time,<br />

and I have taught so many wonderful students. GIS is more than<br />

just a school, it is a community filled with wonderful people,<br />

students, parents and colleagues, many of whom I will remember<br />

always. I am leaving the school to return back to my home in<br />

Canada with my son Kalin. We will both miss the great friends<br />

we've made here (and the sunny warm weather!) but are taking home with us fantastic<br />

memories. Best of luck to everyone!
