Week Sixteen - January 17th, 2024
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 fixyed 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.
Please see below for the Term 2 schedule.

Students have completed their 2nd animation over the break and have explored both the traditional and digital methods of animating to communicate their narrative. With the traditional method of using a light table and pencil/paper, the students were able to recreate their works using a digital method through animation software (adobe animate, flipaclip, toonsquid, etc).
Take a look at the two and see which you enjoy the most!
