Dear Parents, On Tuesday 22nd April, the Activity Afternoon will take place from 12 - 3 PM.

This is to provide much needed time to work together as a whole faculty. We are taking this opportunity to work with e-Sports to offer a sample of activities and sports and also to begin to develop the GIS Mother Tongue Program. On this day, you can elect to do one of the following: 1. Register your child in a Mother Tongue Club, 2. Register your child in an e-Sports taster activity, or 3. Elect to take them home early.
