We would like to remind secondary families of the opportunity for students to place advanced orders with Slices. This service is in place to ease congestion in the canteens during busy break and lunch periods, enabling students to spend more time connecting with peers and engaging in activities of interest. 

How To Pre-order

• Students can visit the Ground Floor Canteen up until 8:05am each day to pre-order food for morning break and lunch.   

• Pre-orders will be available to collect in the respective canteen at the beginning of break and lunch periods.  

A Gate Pass is required by all students who wish to exit the campus without a registered guardian. Please be prepared to show your Gate Pass to the Security team when exiting. Any students who do not have a valid Gate Pass will be directed to request one before they can be allowed to exit. Please note that requests for a Gate Pass must be submitted to the school by a registered parent/guardian.

*Gate Passes that were issued last academic year (2023-24) are still valid. If your family circumstances have changed, and you no longer wish for your child to have/use a Gate Pass, please notify the school. 

At dismissal, at the end of each day, secondary students are kindly requested to avoid exiting via (or waiting in) the Main Reception. Instead, students should exit the campus via the Math corridor, unless they take the bus. When awaiting parents, drivers or taxis, all students must wait inside the Ground Floor Canteen, where supervision is in place. Students are not permitted to stay in the school's Main Reception or other areas (including corridors) of the campus.

On the 5th of September, our first practice was held for the Senior Band in GIS. Founded and led by DP2 student Munir Shwaihat, "I had realized the lack of musical opportunities in GIS and decided to take initiative and give other students new, musical opportunities in GIS. When Ms. Verity informed me of a potential musical competition the school could be involved in, I noticed that there wasn’t any sort of musical ensemble that would allow us to participate in the event, which is what led me to found the Senior Band, which aims to play many different styles of music in order to give the students of GIS more opportunities to excel and grow, and not limiting this growth by being set on 1 genre." 

Auditions will be held for all instruments and singers on Monday the 9th of September and Wednesday the 11th of September from 1:15 to 1:45 in the Recording Studio. If you have any questions, please contact munir.s@gemsisak.com. See you there!

The 'meet and greet' event for the Grade 6 families was a joyful occasion. It took place in the ground floor canteen, where everyone gathered to mingle with the Grade 6 team. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, as students introduced their families to their classmates and Homeroom  Teachers.

One of the highlights of the event was the wide variety of foods available, representing the many culinary cultures in Grade 6. Families brought dishes from their own cultures, creating a delicious and diverse spread. There were foods from different countries, showcasing the rich cultural diversity of the students. Everyone enjoyed tasting new dishes and learning about each other’s backgrounds.

The event was not only a chance for students and teachers to connect but also for families to meet and share their experiences. It helped build a strong sense of community within the school, making everyone feel more connected. By the end of the event, students, families, and teachers had all gotten to know each other better, setting a positive tone for the school year ahead
