Every school year The Battle of the Books (BOB) is in full swing from November to March. This exciting reading competition involves students in Grades 6 through 8 and is part of the ICS Extra Curricular Activities.
Teams are composed of 3 to 4 members who agree to read 7 books together. The SGIS librarians' group has carefully selected the BOB books from the collection of books featured in the Golden Cowbell Award.
The BOB-ers meet once a week at lunchtime for fun activities such as quizzes, team logo creation and craft activities. They also enjoy the privilege of eating lunch with their teammates in our welcoming Secondary library.
BOB fosters cross-cultural connections within the international school community of Switzerland. Indeed, the competition culminates in a rip-roaring final event where the winning team from our school competes against the top teams from ISZL and ZIS. Each school takes turns in hosting the Finals.
