The German Ambassador visits GISW
Dear School Community,
Yesterday morning marked a memorable occasion as we welcomed the esteemed German Ambassador Michaelis and his wife Heike Michaelis to our campus.
The day started off with a captivating interview by our Student Newspaper team, followed by a vibrant assembly spanning grade 5 through 12. One of our two Student Council Presidents, Charles Sunderbruch, led an engaging discussion, inviting all students to interact with German Ambassador Michaelis and his wife Heike Michaelis.
Their openness and down-to-earth manner resonated with all ages. We heard from Ambassador Andreas Michaelis about his school days, career, and intriguing tidbits, such as which German soccer club he is passionate about. We also had the honor of Mrs. Heike Michaelis sharing insights into the life as an Ambassador's spouse.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for their visit as well as for the new greeting words by the Ambassador on our website and eagerly anticipate welcoming them back to GISW soon!
Warm regards,
Carsten Apsel
Head of School
