Social responsibility is a core value for GIS learners. As part of the Form 2 Leadership Programme, students participate annually in a community service initiative that enables them to put their leadership skills into action.
On 10th January 2026, GIS launched a Literacy Programme in partnership with the YWCA Library, Adabraka, Accra. In line with our literacy initiatives Ms. Grace Hanson and Mrs. Lydia Quansah, the patrons of our Social Responsibility Club, have been working closely with pupils of St. Joseph’s Basic School in the Adabraka community. These pupils form part of the target group for literacy improvement under the YWCA Library programme, led by Mrs. Irene Elizabeth Baitie, a former GIS parent.
In her opening remarks, Mrs. Angela van der Puije, the Vice Principal of the Lower Secondary School, highlighted the critical role of literacy in national development and its importance in building a better Ghana. A representation of GIS Form 2 students had the opportunity to mentor pupils from St. Joseph’s through engaging activities, including a panel discussion on the power of reading, a reading contest, and an interactive literacy quiz facilitated by Mrs. Lydia Quansah. The day culminated in a book donation from GIS to the YWCA Library.
Beginning Saturday, 17th January 2026, Form 2 students and teachers will lead literacy activities at the YWCA Library every Saturday. Each student is expected to participate in at least one session, reinforcing GIS’s commitment to leadership, service, and social responsibility.
