Principal's December

Ms Gavins Newsletter - December 2025

MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

We have had a very busy December at IES Solna! Our open house was a great success and many new and current parents visited to enjoy the activities that our teachers had put on display! We have enjoyed a wonderful Lucia festival and students have had great fun building ginger bread houses as well as preparing for the end of term. The Christmas elf appeared again as did the Grinch! We wish you a lovely Christmas Break and we have thoroughly enjoyed this term with your children! 

 

IMPORTANT CALENDAR ITEMS:

  • December 19th: Last day of term for students 

  • January 8th: Students return. 

  • February 20th: Winter Sports Day

  • Week 9: Sportlov 

 

Tips over Christmas 

Please enjoy time together this Christmas! The moments we spend with our family are invaluable and this is a time to relax, enjoy each other's company and take time to do different activities that we do not have time to do when we are at work and school! Read with your children, take a walk, play games and have fun! 

 

Here is the contact for our PTA!

We have our first parent class representative meeting on 14th January at 17.30!
We are hoping to have more parent cafes opportunities and we really do value your ideas and support!
