HAPPY VALENTINE’S!<br />
A big well done to the IB1 students who organised<br />
Valentine's activities across the school as part of<br />
their CAS programme.<br />
In Primary there was a mixture of paid and free<br />
events, and across the school students and staff<br />
could order chocolates, roses and even memes for<br />
each other.<br />
Money raised from the event will go to the school’s<br />
chosen charities.<br />
SPORT, ROSES AND<br />
DUMPLINGS<br />
Can you believe we’ve reached the end of <strong>February</strong><br />
already?<br />
We started this month off with a Book Fair held in<br />
the Primary atrium - giving students, staff, and<br />
parents a chance to expand their home libraries.<br />
Alongside the Book Fair, Secondary students<br />
were given the opportunity to attend the weird and<br />
wonderful St Andrews’ science fair.<br />
This year Valentine's Day was organised not by<br />
our Prefects, but a group of IB1 students. We also<br />
had a Primary Valentine’s Day, where Primary<br />
students participated in many fun activities. IB also<br />
students volunteered to help out with this.<br />
Our PE and Sports department organised three<br />
enjoyable Sports Days, jam-packed with a large<br />
variety of activities that everyone took part in.<br />
The <strong>GIS</strong> Chinese New Year celebration was held<br />
on <strong>February</strong> 20 in the Main Hall, where we were all<br />
treated with outstanding performances, such as<br />
ballet, hip-hop and traditional fan dances, done by<br />
students and members of staff. It’s so delightful to<br />
see so many people in <strong>GIS</strong> celebrate and respect<br />
a different culture.<br />
Have fun over half term break!<br />
