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. 

Creative Writing Club

Grades 6-1

Students from Grades 6 to 10 showcased their imagination and storytelling skills in the Creative Writing Club Competition, thoughtfully organized by Merishka Maharaj, our Head Student Leader for the Creative Writing Club. This event encouraged students to express themselves through short stories exploring meaningful themes such as mental health, courage, friendship, identity, and fantasy.

The competition served as a rich learning opportunity, using fiction as a powerful way to promote empathy and awareness. The quality of entries impressed the judging panel, who commended the creativity and depth demonstrated in each piece.

A huge congratulations to our winners:
1st Place: Suzan Hemeda
2nd Place: Youngmin Kim
3rd Place: Yuvni Mutha

Well done to all participants for sharing your inspiring stories with us!
