Academic Priority
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 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.

The elegant presentation complemented the artworks beautifully, and students communicated the deeper meanings behind their pieces with impressive clarity and articulation.

Sports and Exercise Health Science
Sports and Exercise Health Science
Grades 11
This week, Grade 11 Sport Science students conducted the Cooper Test, a 12-minute run designed to assess cardiovascular endurance by estimating VO2 max—the maximum amount of oxygen the body can utilize during intense exercise.
As part of the study, students collected data while adhering to proper testing protocols, gaining hands-on experience in data collection, ethical considerations, and laboratory procedures.
A huge thank you to our three fantastic volunteers—Janna Ferteux, Fayth Fernandes, and Merishka Maharaj—who took part in the study and demonstrated outstanding effort and determination in what is a physically demanding test of endurance. Without their participation, this practical investigation would not have been possible.
