Where teachers can teach and students learn
Hi, I was one of the first students at IES in Borås. Choosing to change schools just before year 9 was an easy choice due to the fantastic reputation and pillars that IES is built on. Being half English I saw this as an opportunity to learn and develop my knowledge of the actual language as well as growing as an individual, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
During the month of November our school took part in MOvember, a charity aimed at raising awareness of Men’s Health and Mental Wellbeing. Throughout the month, most of our male members of staff grew a moustache and the females took part in a movement based challenge. Our students were heavily involved in MOvember and around 200 junior and senior students chose to take part in a MOvember walk during their elective lessons.
For those of you looking into gymnasiets and future careers, check out the information website that Mr Tegebo has prepared for you.
Here is an update of our beautiful male staff and their attempt at growing a moustache for MOvember. They are doing this to raise awareness of mental and men’s health. If you would like to donate the cause, please do so at the following link -
Today, students have been enjoying an activity day, focused on Character Counts. Students were mixed into groups including both Junior and Senior students. Each activity was based on a different pillar, so students could take an in depth look at what Character Counts means at our school. Activities included discussions, performances, short videos, reflections and illustration.
It is wonderful to see our students working together across the school with a common goal.
