24.01.2022 It's beginning to feel very festive in the IGS Bibliothèque with a range of books under the tree for our students to discover.

23.01.2022 It was a bear-y exciting morning for our Kindergarten students who were gifted their very own IGS teddy bear. IGS Principal Shauna Colnan invited Kindergarten students to the Bibliotheque for the annual Teddy Bears Picnic this morning. The Picnic was a wonderful opportunity to commend the efforts of our Kindergarten class on their ability to adapt to School in such a challenging year.... #empoweredstudents #personalachievement

06.01.2022 It's all about perspective! Year 7 students looked at the theme of "perspective" in preparation for receiving their exam results. They learnt how to adapt a growth mindset which includes believing one's talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others. #empoweredstudents

05.01.2022 Students in the Primary School Science Club recently deepened their understanding of DNA. They explored the structure of a double helix and its role in building our bodies. What better way to understand the structure of something than to make a model of it yourself, Science Club Coordinator Pepita Iocco-Catt said.... Pepita said students were thrilled to discover their structure could double as a snack. Using strawberry liquorice, different coloured jelly cubes and toothpicks, our scientists were able to build a model of a double helix."

05.01.2022 Congratulations to Oscar Killick-Dodd for his film score, Enter Lanturnia, nominated for HSC Music showcase ENCORE.
