Helping the Local Environment
Our Year 1 and 3 classes have been out picking litter in the local area to increase their environmental awareness.

An A in Every Subject
Well done to Leyan Zeidan, our full pot student this year. Full pot means she got an A grade in all 17 subjects, a remarkable achievement.
Language Olympics
Despite the pandemic we were able to take part in the Language Olympics. All the students that take a language took part and the school got an average score. We came in the top six for the region in all 5 languages; Swedish, English, French, German and Spanish. There was a separate section for those who have English as a home language and we had four places in the top ten for the region. We then moved on to the regional finals where Azad (Year 9) and Sebastian (Year 8) were finalists. Our Year 8 student Imogen came second in the English mother tongue Olympics for the whole of Sweden. This was especially impressive as she was competing against older students.
Easter Fun
Our PTA organised a successful socially distanced forest Easter Egg Hunt for the junior classes.
Maths Excellence
Congratulations to Ingrid, Eshika, Nils and Ellen in Years 8 and 9 who took home a bronze medal in the finals of a maths competition in the Gothenburg region.
Designing for the Environment
Year 2 recently entered a competition run by Arla, Tetrapak and WWF and thanks to Elena the class had a winning entry. There was a recycling bag for every student, 1000 SEK for the class to spend, an apron for each student and posters for the classroom from the World Wildlife Fund.
Keeping fit in a good cause
19 of our staff ran or walked a track around the neighbourhood in support of the blood donation charity Ge Blod (a socially distanced version of blodomloppet this time).
Daily Mile
We are focusing on good diet and exercise just now as a way off fighting off infections. Year 2 and 3 are doing a run in the forest on Mondays and Tuesdays. We’ll be challenging ourselves to run a little further and faster each time we are out.
Amazing Race 2020
On Friday 28th August the 12 classes in High School were out in the forest for the Amazing Race.
The classes mixed up and used phones and coordinates to find their way around the course. The older students did a great job of looking after the younger ones and the teachers had lots of interesting challenges waiting.
The tasks for teams to tackle included identifying famous statues, re-enacting the statues,
puzzles, relay races, key finding, treasure hunt, quiz, music, Swedish Royal Chronology, memory tasks,
fairground games and Swedish grammar!
Swedish Rugby Champions
Several of the schools students play with the Gothenburg Rugby club and have become Swedish champions at with a combined Gothenburg and Sparticus Under 14 team. Congratulations to all concerned!
