Principal's Corner
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Time seems to move fast at
school. Already we are
approaching the Autumen break!
I would like to acknowledge and
thank all the students, parents,
and teachers who have come
together to help the refugees that
have been arriving in Gothenburg.
There have been fund-raising
activities, clothing drives and a
general upsurge in awareness and
a desire to help however we can. It
makes me proud to work in a
school community such as ours.
I would like to introduce our new
parent council:
Grade 6 - Nicola Stockman
Grade 7 - Denise Mellion
Grade 8 - Amit Roy
Grade 9 - Becka Kojder
I will be sending out a letter via
Managebac introducing them and
the parent council in more detail. I
would like to take this opportunity
to thank them for agreeing to be
your representatives this year.
Have a wonderful Autumn break!

fundraiser for the school and a
very enjoyable day.
Your son/daughter will soon be
coming home with raffle tickets.
It is really important that as

these to family, friends and
neighbours. The prizes are
amazing! More info will come

Visual arts students in the 9th and 10th grades have been
invited to explore what it means to be 'neighbours' in the
exhibition, Ett skepp kommer lastast ..... (A ship comes loaded..)
The title of the exhibition is inspired by the Swedish
children's game, building curiosity for getting to know our
neighbours better, but also teaching us empathy and respect
for what we cannot know: the limits of discovery, the
'stranger' ... the abundance, depth and richness of human
experience.
The project is a unique cross-institutional, multi-disciplinary
collaboration between Chalmers Tekniska Högskola
Institutionen för Arkitektur, Frölunda Kulturhus, Göteborgs
stad Kulturfövaltning, Frölundaskolan, Önneredsskolan,
ISGR and the EU research project TRADERS (training art
and design researchers in participation in/for public space.)
