| Talent Show
In today’s assembly, we shared three simple ideas with students that do not require money, costumes or elaborate equimpment. What counts is creativity and perseverance. We emphasised the importance of practice and support.
Some students wanted to practice for the show during their breaks. However, we think it is far mor important that they go out and play in order to relax between classes. It is still posible for students to practice in their clasroom between 8:15 and 8:30 and they can choose to practise during their free choice time on Friday afternoon. The Talent Show being scheduled at the end of April, we believe this gives students plenty of time to prepare. Also, practice might become an opportunity for a play date. |

| Professional Development
One of the requirements for schools to be authorized by the IB is that teachers receive IB-authorized training. Last week, Ms Wieczorek attended a workshop in Madrid and this Thursday, Mr. Duevel and Mrs. Rasen leave for Birmingham to return even better teachers after the Easter Break! |
Easter Break
Just as we have recovered from our Winter Break, we are approaching this year’s Easter Break also known as spring break in… some countries. The last day of school is Friday 18th March. Classes resume onTUESDAY 29th March |
Third Language at GIS
Thank you very much to everyone who responded to our survey regarding a third language at GIS. Having considered all suggestions and their implications, we have decided to offer German in Grade 6-7 next academic year. The main arguments for German included the fact that it is offered in the IB Diploma Programme at Gjøvik VS, where most of our students will continue their education, and that we’ll be able to establish an exchange programme with a school in Germany.In the future, we would like to offer a choice of languages, so other options will be added. |
We’re Growing!
We are pleased to inform you the remaining part of the school will be ready in April 2017, not in August as planned before. We are very excited about the development. As building will start after we break up for summer, we will not be able to offer a summer school this year. However, our agreement withForsker Fabrikken about the last week of the summer holiday still stands. |
