Activities for Students

ISGR does not offer directly an after school Program but supports initiatives to give our children all the opportunities to spend their time actively and intellectually when school is over.

Last year, a group of ISGR parents has been working closely with ISGR for
- collecting information about what is already existing
- writing a policy about the organisation of activities
- recruiting new ACTIVITY LEADERS that will experiment the new policy
- promoting the project so it is ready for the next school year 
- getting parents to acknowledge the new system to enrol their children

This term again, many skilled activity leaders will come to our school to offer our children the opportunity to enrich their lives with music, art, sports and clubs to share their interests and ideas.
If you are interested for your child to join an activity, we recommend you to connect to the new Afterschool Activities Facebook page. 

For registrations with activity leaders, as the rule is first registered, first enrolled, we will be publishing this specific information on Managebac and Schoolsoft. So keep an eye open on your email box!

For the sports activities, you can go directly on the following website:



ISGR MAKERSPACE (Project supported by ISGR and its PTA for September 2020)


This school year, the PTA wishes to experiment this new concept for ISGR Students:  "A makerspace is a collaborative work space inside a school, library or separate public/private facility for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools." once a week, at Guldheden Campus, volunteers will share their skills with kids to help them build all kinds of fun objects. PTA will fund materials. More to come...

OTHER ENGLISH SPEAKING ACTIVITIES IN GOTHENBURG:
By surfing the web, you will be able to find all kind of schools, clubs and activities for your children. ISGR supports its students in joining local Clubs as it facilitates integration and learning of the Swedish Language. Even if most websites' pages are in Swedish, use your friend Google Translate and do not hesitate to contact them: everybody speaks English in Sweden!

TIPS
- Use our Facebook page or the Class WhatsApp Groups to ask other parents about activities their children go to...it's always easier to join a Club if a classmates has already enrolled.
- Organise turns with other parents to watch children before activities start or to take them to the Club: a homework/fika is easy to organise in a nearby café.

Welcome to a new school year at ISGR!

We are ready! Yes 2020 is not like any other year but the PTA looks forward to continuing some of its missions this new school year. So what did we learn so far about the situation with Covid-19 and what to expect this year - unless it changes for better - regarding PTA activities? The rule is no gatherings of more than 50 people and school will continue to do as much online meetings as possible to reduce contact. It means that sadly we cannot hold any event like the Welcoming Breakfast, the Family Day or even the Winter  Bazaar.   We still want to do as much as we can to welcome new parents. There are 143 new students, meaning a lot of new families joined ISGR. There will be an orientation tour on August 21st and if more people are interested on Tuesday 25 August. Information will be advertised during the online welcoming session held by school no Monday 20 and also on Managebac. During this tour, PTA active members will share a lot of useful information with newcomers about ...

ISGR PTA is supporting new after school activities program for students

It's often a challenge to register our children in activities after school, no? For years, the PTA has always tried to support parents and students by answering their questions about this, as there is no specific program offered by ISGR. Hopefully, the Sports Club was created by Peter a few years ago and is now running well. Still there was room for other type of activities. ISGR had already allowed private teachers to use school premises for music lessons for example but this would not fulfil all the needs of our community. Some parents have as well developed their own clubs but it was not always easy to find information about those. Now it's a new era that begins with a dedicated process for "Activity Leaders" to offer activities at school as well as there is a more transparent routine to register the children to those activities:  a special thank you to Iris who did an amazing job on this! From there, we hope the offer will grow and that ISGR will be able to...

Get ready for a new school year: JOIN THE PTA BOARD NOW!

This is a message from Laurence Herpelinck, Coordinator of the PTA team Hello dear PTA members.  Time flies and it will be the last year for my last child Nathan to attend ISGR from September 2020. If we want the PTA to continue, we need to have a new coordinator (Président officially) as I will not take that role again next school year, just continuing walking activities and after school STEAM Club. BUT I will be happy to teach someone or a group of people throughout the year about the missions it involves and how to contribute to creating a nice  community spirit at ISGR while working together with school teachers and staff. Some of our present Board members will continue their missions and will be supporting and helping the new team throughout the year 20-21. This is a great opportunity so do not miss it, even if it is a voluntary part-time mission, it is a very rewarding one. Some of you already came to us before the Covid situation crushed all our projects and enthusia...
