Students from Garden International School (GIS) enjoyed an end to their
examinations with a graduation dinner at the Hilton Hotel in Pattaya.
More than 100 students, parents and teachers attended the event on June 7. Year
11 students at GIS have just finished their IGCSE examinations.
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education assessments are run
by Cambridge International Examinations and are the world’s most popular
examinations for 14 to 16 year olds.
GIS has consistently had far higher results than UK schools and is confident of
doing so again this year. Some students will be leaving school now, but many
will be returning in August to join GIS’s successful International Baccalaureate
(IB) Diploma Programme.
The evening began with introductions from the MCs Laila and Kevin, then there
was a welcome speech from IGCSE Co-ordinator Mr Stokes. The first performance
was a guitar solo from Pauline, who sang Pink’s ‘Perfect’.
After an excellent buffet, Jason and James sang ‘When I Was Your Man’, Sony,
Teng, Jason, Fiat and Renee performed ‘Count on Me’ and then Pauline, Sony, Teng
and Jason sang ‘Everlasting God’.
Form Tutors then gave speeches, praising students for their collective spirit
and drive and wishing them well for the future.
After a performance by ‘Upside Down’ of Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ there was a
closing speech by GIS Principal Dr Stuart Tasker.
