Congratulations to Keilah Taylor one of our many young writers! Now a Form One student in our Lower Secondary Section, Keilah published her (first) book at the age of ten when she was in the Junior School (Class 6). An avid reader with a strong passion for writing, adventure and adrenaline-pumping activities, she shared her beautiful piece about “The Ominous Life of a Camp Counsellor” with the world. It’s a captivating tale that captures the essence of youth, friendship, mystery and the thrill of summer escapades.

As an international school, GIS aims to nurture well-rounded students through a holistic learning experience where pupils and students are equipped to succeed both academically and in life beyond school. Well done Keilah for exhibiting this! We are so proud of you!

Rare Disease Day

gisadmin1 — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 08:09:08 +0000

Today is Rare Diseases Day! It is celebrated every year on February 28th (or February 29th in leap years) to raise awareness about rare diseases in the world. Recently, the Infant School celebrated the day from Wednesday, February 21st to Friday, February 23rd, 2024.

The primary objective of the celebration was to raise awareness about rare diseases and their impact on patients and families. 1 in 20 people will live with a rare disease at some point in their lives. As part of the awareness campaign, pupils came to school dressed in different outfits all week, including athletic wear, twin Care Buddy outfits, black and white plain, striped or polka dot clothes, and even zebra mascot apparel.

The theme for this year’s celebration was “Share Your Colours and Light up for Rare.” A very big thank you to our Infant School community for always making time to educate and show care to our community members and the rest of the world. #RareDiseaseDay #awareness #children #infants #GIS #schools

GIS Infant School Makes Donations to the 37 Military Hospital Children’s Ward

Olivia Lecosson — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 08:40:34 +0000

For several years, the Infant School has supported many children in need from various organisations. This year, their festival of 100 Languages was themed “Show Your Love”, carefully selected by the Infant School Student Council Representatives. The event had immense support from parents who came to celebrate various activities and fundraising events. The festival climaxed with a donation from the Infants and their parents to the 37 Military Hospital Childrens Ward. To make this possible, each class in the Infant School had an empty box placed in front of their classroom where they donated colouring books, crayons, notebooks, stuffed animals (teddy bears), books and non-perishable food items to help put a smile on the faces of these recuperating children. Pupils and parents went the extra mile to make beautiful get-well-soon cards as part of the donation. The donation was presented to the children at the hospital yesterday by Selected teachers of the Infant School. A big thank you to everyone who supported this beautiful gesture of kindness. A big well done to all our Infant School children and community members! Let us continue to make an impact and make a difference in the lives of others!

GIS Infant School pupils facilitate Student-Led Conference

Olivia Lecosson — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 03:50:00 +0000

Infant School pupils had a great time with their parents at their recently organized Student-Led Conference. This intentional meeting encourages pupils to demonstrate responsibility for their academic and non-academic performance based on our 6 attributes (Critical thinking, Discipline, Effective Communication, Social Responsibility, Creativity and International-mindedness) as a school. They do this by providing a review of their work portfolio to their parents and teachers. It also allows them to reflect and express in their own words their progression, where they need to improve and what they’re proud of.

Miss Delali Ofosuhene, a 15-year-old student of Light Academy talks to Junior School pupils about the harmful effects of excessive sugar consumption

Olivia Lecosson — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 13:28:00 +0000

Led by the Primary School wellness Team (Mrs Massa Awandare, Mrs Alberta Hayford and Ms Norah Asante) and in collaboration with the Vice-Principal of the Junior School, Ms Nadia Bruce-Muller, Miss Delali Ofosuhene, a 15-year-old and a Second-Year Junior High School (JHS) student of Light Academy in Adenta was invited to talk to Junior School pupils about the harmful effects of excessive sugar consumption. Having witnessed her grandfather painfully suffer from diabetes, Miss Ofosuhene doesn’t want anyone else to go through that. She, therefore, wants to make an impact in her community by convincing her family members and everyone around her to do their best to stay away from sugar due to its many harmful effects on the body. Pupils at the Junior school were attentive and were delighted to have her speak with them. #JuniorSchoolRocks #GIS #GhaIntSch #GhaIntSchCares #teaching #learning #healthylifestyle #diabetes #SaveTheChildren #eatclean #EatRight #sugarfree #staysafe #international #InternationalMindedness #education #stayalive #stayconnected

It’s Rare Diseases Day today and Infant School just cannot keep calm! Under the theme, “Share Your Colours”, pupils and teachers wore various colourful outfits and had butterflies painted on their arms. This beautiful “butterfly painting on the arm” initiative was brought about by the Infant School SRC!

This is in line with 2.14 of our 2022-2025 Strategic Plan to cultivate a culture of international mindedness and lifelong learning in all stakeholders. Go GIS!

To better understand the present, it is imperative to understand the past. The impact of the ancient Greeks and Romans on our modern world cannot be overlooked or understated. Greece and Rome have both played a phenomenal role in shaping the history of three continents: Europe, Africa and Asia. Our Junior School year three pupils had a fun day travelling back through time to learn and experience what life was like back then! #greekday #GhaIntSch #FunLearning #Greek #asia #Rome #african #practicallearning #history #learning #GIS
