HOLES, THE MUSICAL The Secondary production of 'Holes, the Musical' was a huge success. After weeks of rehearsing, the staging, songs and acting all came together for another brilliant performance. The musical tells the story of Stanley and his battle to break his family's curse of bad luck by digging up and discovering his family history. Well done to everyone involved. To see highlights from the show, check out our YouTube channel. Many thanks to our sponsors: Aditya Birla, Indorama, and Encounter Church. 20
IB Diploma IB STUDENTS REWARDED FOR SUSTAINABLE IDEAS By Orla (Global Action Director) IB students have been to a special conference in Bangkok that focused on sustainable development. On Saturday November 3, nine GIS IB students woke up in the early hours of the weekend to drive to an Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Conference at Wells International School Onnut Campus in Bangkok. After a 2-hour drive to Bangkok we made it to Wells International School. We gathered into an assembly room full of people who had come from schools all around Thailand. Most of them were high school students and all shared the same goal as us — moving towards a more sustainable world. We began the day in discussion groups. I was a part of the Women’s Rights group; we talked about the need for Reduced Inequalities and Gender Equality. We also touched on different issues that link to other Sustainable Development Goals. It was interesting to find out other people’s views on certain issues in the wider world that we don’t experience first-hand as students. Everyone was so passionate about their causes and the environment felt safe enough for us to express our own opinions and solutions for change. Later on that day, we took part in an afternoon full of activities that link to all of the SDGs. We were grouped together with people from different schools, forcing us out of our comfort zones and working with other people. It was frantic running around from activity to activity trying to get as many points as possible. Everyone was very competitive and motivated. The activities ranged from memory games, to throwing and catching, to role playing games making it fun for all 150 people that took part. After this, we started on the case challenge, which was to design a solution as to how to stop Thailand from being so wasteful. Every group came up with a project to address Thailand’s waste issue and presentations took place on the second day. One of GIS’ teams that comprised of Ashcharya, Shann and Chan managed to get through to the semi-final! Their solution of implementing a reward point system in supermarkets proved to be extremely creative and practical.
