ISGR NEWS Embrace Diversity, Explore the World
Principal's Corner Dear Parents and Guardians, Time seems to move fast at school. Already we are approaching the Autumen break! I would like to acknowledge and thank all the students, parents, and teachers who have come together to help the refugees that have been arriving in Gothenburg. There have been fund-raising activities, clothing drives and a general upsurge in awareness and a desire to help however we can. It makes me proud to work in a school community such as ours. I would like to introduce our new parent council: Grade 6 - Nicola Stockman Grade 7 - Denise Mellion Grade 8 - Amit Roy Grade 9 - Becka Kojder I will be sending out a letter via Managebac introducing them and the parent council in more detail. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for agreeing to be your representatives this year. Have a wonderful Autumn break!

Visual arts students in the 9th and 10th grades have been invited to explore what it means to be 'neighbours' in the exhibition, Ett skepp kommer lastast ..... (A ship comes loaded..) The title of the exhibition is inspired by the Swedish children's game, building curiosity for getting to know our neighbours better, but also teaching us empathy and respect for what we cannot know: the limits of discovery, the 'stranger' ... the abundance, depth and richness of human experience. The project is a unique cross-institutional, multi-disciplinary collaboration between Chalmers Tekniska Högskola Institutionen för Arkitektur, Frölunda Kulturhus, Göteborgs stad Kulturfövaltning, Frölundaskolan, Önneredsskolan, ISGR and the EU research project TRADERS (training art and design researchers in participation in/for public space.)
