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.

GIS Infant School Celebrate Rare Disease Day Today!

Olivia Lecosson — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 12:24:00 +0000

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! At GIS, we believe raising awareness for rare diseases will help improve access to treatment and medical representation for individuals with rare diseases and their families. 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! Go Infant School! #GhaIntSchCares #GiveBack #ShowCompassion #RareDiseases #GIS #GhaIntSch #teaching #learning #funlearning #initiative #love

Infant School Celebrate Favourite Book Character Day 2023

Olivia Lecosson — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 10:19:00 +0000

Research studies have indicated that reading builds the brain, fosters early learning and creates connections in the brain that promote language, cognitive, social and emotional development. Knowing this too well, our infants recently celebrated “Favourite Book Character Day” where they read and celebrated their favourite book characters. What’s your favourite book character? Enjoy the photo highlights! #reading #readforlife #bookstore #bookstagram #knowledgeispower #education #GhaIntSch #GIS #bookcharacterday #infants #schoollife

Infant School celebrate “D-Day”

Olivia Lecosson — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 08:15:15 +0000

“D Day” is a fun-packed day of learning for our Nursery pupils. This particular day is a special day dedicated to a carousel of learning experiences that encourage our children to explore their diverse gifts and skills and be inspired in a variety of ways!

On this day, pupils have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with some of the older Lower 6th Form students at GIS. Not only do these older students teach our pupils by engaging them in reading, drawing, singing and dancing activities; but they also go the extra mile to exhibit their talents (playing an instrument, singing, and dancing). By doing this they create a platform that makes it easy for them to talk to and encourage pupils about the benefits of learning a new skill and how it requires creativity, determination and discipline.

This creates a conducive learning environment that urges our pupils to think more deeply about their interests and creative input in their learning. Some of their experiences included dance, den building, design, drawing and drama. The children were treated to a live performance on the saxophone as they danced to one of their favourite songs, Baby Shark! This is in line with our 2022-2025 Strategic and Operational Priority 2.12 which is to develop alternative pathways to learning that leverage students’ abilities, talents, skills and knowledge. #GIS #GhaIntSch #EffectiveStrategies #alphabet #fun #funlearning

Congratulations to our Infant School Student Council

Olivia Lecosson — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 08:59:28 +0000

Did you know that the GIS Infant school now has a Student Council? Popularly known as the Infant School Student Council (ISSC), this brilliant initiative was set in motion by the Infant School Vice Principal, Mrs. Donna Gordon-Apeagyei, and her Middle Management team. The objective for setting up this Council was to get pupils actively involved in organizing, planning, and executing different events and activities in the Infant School.

The Campaign had children from Nursery through to Class 2 convincing their peers why they should be voted for. Some convincing campaign promises made by candidates included extra play time, more play equipment, and even free fandango distribution. Others simply requested to be voted for just because they were special. It really was a fun learning experience for the children as they learned so much about leadership, campaigning, voting, and democracy in general. A big thank you to the entire Infant School staff for making this an unforgettable experience for our pupils.

Congratulations to all the candidates and to the entire section! Well done!!!
