A short but busy week! ☀️
Our retiring Head of School, Bente Pederson, attended a farewell dinner with the AIS Board. The acting Mayor, Inger Brokka de Ruiter, made a beautiful speech thanking Bente for her 20 years at AIS 🌟
Meanwhile, our new Head of School, Shauna Ross, has been getting to know staff 😊
Our youngest future world leaders have been busy with inquiry learning (including the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv) and our oldest students have been taking exams, some fuelled by just a little godteri 😆
Our school dog, Lucky, has been meeting and greeting students 🌿
We wish our community a relaxing weekend! 💛
