Welcome Back and Upcoming Events!
Firstly, Happy New Year and welcome back! This term there is a real assortment of important events for Year 10 - which have already been introduced in a Year 10 assembly on the first day back. Next Monday and Tuesday, Year 10 will be off timetable as we have our Careers day and JUMP program. The aim for these days will be to develop students self - awareness and start considering their own personal strengths and development of their leadership, team working and interpersonal skills. On Wednesday next week, the students will have Maths and English for Period 1 and 2 and then be involved in the enquiry week expo during Period 3. Please see the message below from Mr Wellings about this event:
GIS Enquiry 2016 Expo
Next week from 11th - 13th of January will see Garden's Apple Distinguished Large Scale Enquiry program go through its third iteration.
This year students are looking at how to use design thinking and social innovation to identify and solve real world problems linked to the UN's Global Goals.
We would like to invite all GIS parents to the Enquiry Expo Event on Wednesday 13th January between 9:20 and 11:30am. Here you will be able to see the result of the students work and have the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about what they have been doing and maybe even help make some of their projects a reality through advice or investment.
An overview can be found at the following link:
If you do come and visit please stop by the main reception rom 9:30 am onwards and collect a brief but important leaflet that will allow you to get the most out of the experience.
We look forward to seeing you there.
