From our Head Girl and Head Boy<br />

WHAT A HECTIC TERM!<br />
The past 2 months have passed in the blink of an eye with several major events being held<br />
at GIS. Firstly, as promised to the students, we organised a badminton tournament in November<br />
to help raise donations for multiple charities. We not only had students competing,<br />
but also teachers including our Principal, Mrs Hawtree! I must say, our Head Boy really<br />
struggled going against her team.<br />
Moving on, who can forget the spectacular Christmas Fair we just had? I’m sure you all<br />
told Santa what you wanted for Christmas! Having more than 20 stalls, this year’s Christmas<br />
Fair was packed with people, enjoyment and new stalls run by the IB1s such as table<br />
tennis!<br />
All of this was immediately followed by a Christmas concert where students joined to share<br />
some Christmas spirit to GIS. The programme consisted of the orchestra, choirs and a<br />
special performance from our very own staff choir.<br />
This year, our IB1 leadership team organised a ‘candygram’ service, where students could<br />
send each other candy canes with a sweet card they wrote. Having over 300 candy canes<br />
being bought within Secondary alone, this event was a major success. As a result we<br />
raised money for our school charities. Finally, as the holidays are coming up, we wish the<br />
Year 11s and IB2 students the best of luck for their revision towards their upcoming mock<br />
examinations in January. We are sure you will all do your best.
