SGIS Primary Principals’ Meeting

The International School of Schaffhausen is delighted to be hosting the next SGIS Primary Principals’ Meeting. I would like to suggest the date of Friday May 11th, but as nothing is booked yet we can be flexible on this. If you have not been up to Schaffhausen before, it is home to the Rheinfalls, the biggest waterfall in Europe, and a range of other interesting spots - if you are coming from afar I suggest making a night of it.
