The term got off to a flying start with several sporting achievements. Congratulations to Minami Nakama for her bronze medal at the SGIS Cross-Country race in October, as well as a huge "well done" to the rest of the Junior Department racers.
Atalanta House won the first Inter-House competition of the year, the Cross-Country, although the event had to be staged over two days due to torrential rain which meant that only the infants completed the course on Monday 4th of October. Luckily the sun shone and the junior children were able to compete again on Wednesday, 6th October and it was wonderful to see whole school participation and total enthusiasm at the event.
The Junior Department also enjoyed the friendly football match held against the International School of Lausanne on Wednesday, 6th October. Both teams played well although St. George’s 4 goals weren’t quite enough against ISL’s 14 !
The 29th of October saw the JD’s fancy dress Halloween House Party. A memorable day for all, elements of which are captured in the following snaps.
