Dear GJS Community Members:
A huge CONGRATULATIONS and JOB WELL DONE to the GJS Class of 2024. We have successfully completed our May 2024 IB Exam session. As both a father and educator, I take pride in the efforts undertaken by our children and our students in preparing for and completing this most rigorous programme of study and accompanying exam cycle. Our Global Jaya School International Baccalaureate Continuum of programs prepares our students for success beyond their K-12 schooling years by developing their academic knowledge, skills, tools, and attitudes through Approaches to Learning (Atls) and Learner Profile attributes. This mix of content knowledge, writing ability, research capacity, organizational and time management facility, and inter and intra-personal skill development forms IB-educated students who are agile, adaptable, and ultimately successful when facing the challenges and opportunities they encounter in post-secondary employment or further study.
Through their course of study here at GJS, I am confident they have identified areas of interest and passion and, as a result, pathways forward in their ongoing growth and development journey. Wherever that pathway may take you, members of Angkatan 2024, know we are there alongside you, if only in spirit, cheering you on to your next level of success.
Warm Regards,
Cory Carson, Head of School
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Dear Primary Parents,
This week, we celebrate many achievements of our students. One standout achievement is the success of our WSC students. The tireless efforts of our students and the commitment of our teachers and parents finally paid off when our students proudly secured a remarkable 299 medals (170 Gold, 129 Silver medals). Congratulations to all our students, teachers and parents.
Exams are never easy, but we can hear the sigh of relief from our Year 6 students as they complete their final in-school exams, marking a pivotal moment in their academic journey. Meanwhile, our adventurous Year 5 students are currently immersed in an action-packed camp, embracing new experiences and forging lasting memories. It's a joy to witness such growth and enthusiasm as we approach the close of another enriching year together. Finally, we are anxiously anticipating the winner of the Reading completion. The winners will be announced next week.
Kind Regards,
Lavesa Devnani, Primary Principal

However, with only four weeks of school left, the end is both in sight and still far away. Our students have final assessments to complete and award ceremonies to attend. Parents, students, and faculty are encouraged to enjoy the moment and make the most of our final weeks together.
Please read through the reminders and updates below so you are ready to enjoy the upcoming events.
