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.

Lantern Treasure Hunt: A Festive Ramadan Adventure!
This Ramadan, our students embarked on an exciting Lantern Treasure Hunt, combining fun, teamwork, and the spirit of the season! As they searched for hidden lanterns across the campus, they solved clues that tested their knowledge of Ramadan’s traditions and values. The activity encouraged collaboration, critical thinking, and a sense of community, making it a memorable experience for all. The joy on their faces as they uncovered each lantern was a beautiful reminder of the excitement and togetherness that Ramadan brings. We look forward to more engaging events that celebrate this special time of the year!
Winner was GRADE 8C. Congratulations!
Welcome Ramadan
Welcome Ramadan
Grades 6-12
As the blessed month of Ramadan begins, our school community embraces this time of reflection, gratitude, and generosity. Ramadan is a special period observed by Muslims worldwide, marked by fasting from dawn to sunset, increased prayer, and acts of kindness. It is a time to strengthen faith, build resilience, and foster a sense of community through shared experiences. As we come together in the spirit of compassion, we encourage our students to engage in charitable initiatives, practice mindfulness, and support one another. May this Ramadan be filled with peace, spiritual growth, and meaningful connections for all who observe it. At GIS, we helped muliple initiatives to celebrate this holy month.
A Heartfelt Visit with Converts to Islam
Grades 10, 11 and 12As part of our Ramadan initiatives, our senior students had the unique opportunity to meet and engage with Ms Laura and Ms Julia, who have embraced Islam. This inspiring session allowed students to hear personal stories of faith, resilience, and transformation, fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse journeys people take toward Islam. Through meaningful discussions, students reflected on the beauty of faith, the importance of community, and the role of compassion in welcoming new Muslims. The visit was a powerful reminder of how Islam unites people from all walks of life, strengthening our shared values of kindness, humility, and devotion.
