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 3 schedule. 

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.
