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 3 schedule.
Peter Pan, The Musical
Peter Pan, The Musical
Grades 6-10
This week, the stage came alive with the spellbinding tale of Peter Pan Jr., performed over three spectacular evenings. Audiences were transported to Neverland as the story unfolded with charm, adventure, and a sprinkle of fairy dust. From soaring musical numbers to showstopping costumes, every moment was a testament to the incredible talent and dedication of our students.
The cast's musicality and energy lit up the stage, while the crew worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the magic to life. A huge congratulations to all cast and crew members involved in this unforgettable production - you truly made us believe in the power of imagination!
Visual Arts
Visual Arts
Grade 11
The Grade 11 Visual Arts students took creativity to the next level in a unique Food Art lesson inspired by the Netflix series, Is It Cake? As part of their inquiry into unconventional sculptural materials, students designed and attempted to craft hyperrealistic cakes that looked like everyday objects. Blending baking with fine art, they explored visual deception, honed their technical skills, and challenged traditional ideas of sculpture. The project sparked lively critiques and deep reflections on how food can be both medium and message—blurring the line between art and illusion in the most delicious way!
(Proper food safety and hygiene practices were followed.)
