SGIS ARTS
SGIS Arts was established to provide opportunities for learning and celebration of the arts in schools throughout SGIS. The principal goals of the group are:
-
To connect Arts teachers across international schools within SGIS
-
To unlock the potential of Arts events/festivals for our students, both nationally and regionally
-
To give students and teachers the opportunity to meet, work with, and learn from peers and colleagues at other SGIS schools

We are delighted to welcome Gerstaecker as our principal sponsor once again. As a result, there will be no participation fee for delegates. Participants will need to organise and pay for their own travel and accommodation as appropriate.
