Academic Priority

Grades 6-12

Ensuring Additional Support for All Students. 

This academic year we are launching a new support initiative for all students at GIS. Academic Priority is a system of academic support for students that they can access in addition to their regular classes across all departments.

Each department holds a session once a week. The exact timings and locations for each department can be found on the Academic Priority Schedule posted below. This is also available on ManageBac.

Academic priority is staffed by teachers from the departments, ensuring that students have access to the teachers they need. Any student who needs additional support, has a question or just wants to discuss a particular topic is welcome at Academic Priority. There are no fixed topics for a session. The teacher will provide support based on the individual student’s needs on a particular day.

In addition, teachers make themselves available to any student who needs support whenever possible. We are looking forward to the impact Academic Priority will have on our students progress and attainment. 

World Kindness Day 

All Grades

This year, World Kindness Day was brought to life in a truly inspiring way, thanks to the creativity and leadership of our students. As part of our commitment to fostering kindness and empathy within our school community, students took the lead in organizing activities that not only highlighted the importance of kindness but also encouraged everyone to participate. 

It has been heartwarming to see so many students stop by, read the messages of positivity, and contribute their own thoughts to the conversation. Their willingness to share kind words and actions has made this day a powerful reminder of how small gestures can create a ripple effect of goodwill. This initiative has not only showcased the leadership of our young people but also reinforced the values we hold dear in our school—values that will continue to guide us in all that we do.

The following display was designed and developed by 2 talented Grade 11 students: Ayla Fardinfard and Emma Soobramoney. A range of seniors students supported by encouraging oour students to contribute the wall.
