GIS picks up a prize at Young Journalist Awards Two talented GIS students attended the final of the Amnesty Young Journalist of the Year awards in Bangkok. Sabrina and GeeGee, both in Year 9, went up to Bangkok with Head of English Mr Beales and K.Ruth on March 14. The students wrote stories about women’s rights and both were selected as finalists. After giving presentations about their work, they joined in a debate human rights and journalism. When it came to the winners, Sabrina was given third place in the Years 7 to 9 category for her story about a woman forced into an arranged marriage. Amnesty runs this annual competition to promote human rights and writing skills in Thailand. Last year Salena (IB1) was the overall winner for the Eastern region, while Shomit (Year 9) also attended the finals. Mr Beales said: “This is an incredible achievement for both Sabrina and GeeGee. A dozen international schools from all over Thailand, including Phuket and Chiang Mai, were at the finals. We had a great day meeting other students and hearing more about human rights.” Sabrina’s prize included a book voucher and free membership to Amnesty International. You can read Sabrina’s winning entry later in this newsletter.
Flashmob! Teachers turned on the style with a special flashmob in school. To make World Awesomeness Day, IB1’s Sarah and her friends helped organise a special flashmob. After some gruelling practice, the teachers performed for students. Check out the video of our flashmob at www.gardenrayong.com and head to the Media page. Thanks to the IB1 students for helping keep the teachers in step!
