The PTA and the events they organize are a great
way to meet new people and make new friends,
especially if you get involved and help out, even in
a small way! We are always looking for volunteers
– no help is too small…We are really looking to
branch out this year and give the school more of
an “international feel” and the more the merrier!

A welcome from the PTA
co-chairs: Sarah Loddick and
Karen Celebuski
The school is big and the PTA committee is
growing - which we are thrilled about. We would
love to have everyone attend PTA meetings. With
everyone’s voice, we become more of a community
– which is what we are striving for. So please come
along to events and meetings, volunteer when you
can and let us know your ideas!
Hello everyone and welcome to the new school
year at ISGR! We would especially like to welcome
new families and hope that you are all settling into
your new life.
We look forward to meeting you – please feel free
to contact us with any questions you may have!
This is the first newsletter of the year and there will
be many more to come! In these we will be telling
you about exciting events the PTA has run in the
previous month, and more importantly, advertising
the upcoming events. We also have an excellent
section on “what’s up in Goteborg”, which gives
some excellent ideas for things to do in the local
area, and also a section on other clubs and social
events you may be interested in.
Fondly,
Sarah and Karen

THE ISGR FACEBOOK GROUP
A lot of really useful information is posted on the
ISGR facebook page, from things like a reminder
of the what and when the next event will be to a
question posted by a new parent asking where to go
to find the best value waterproofs for kids!
We will of course advertise events using the newsletter
and email, but as we (the PTA) can’t email all parents
in the school directly, facebook is a great way of
communicating something immediately!
Even if you don’t want to use it for anything else you
can join our group.
How to join the ISGR Facebook Group :
1. Log into your Facebook account or join facebook.
2. Search for ISGR PTA Group
3. Request to be a member. In the message box
please include your children’s name and grade this information will be used for verification only
4. You will be notified when the group administration
approves your request
Joining the group is completely voluntary and does
not replace any other means of communication.
The NL team members are : Sarah Loddick, Karen Celebuski, Christophe De Vos, Sue Monkley,
Rianne te Winkel, Iris Beckers,
