Other achievements from the 15th Inter-school Basketball tournament

A Family Day by the name “My Family - My World” organised by the students, teachers and Grade Coordinator was held this evening at 1600 hrs. The main aim of holding such an event was to give the students the sense of involvement by their parents in their education. In addition, such events show students that their school work is important to their parents too and children feel happy when parents and families get personally involved in their education because this encourages them to do better in school and grow up to be more successful in life.

This event participated by 105 students of Grade One and their parents created a joyful environment and it was a great opportunity to strengthen the bond we have with the parents.

Management would like to thank all the parents for sparing time to attend this event and for being there to witness the skills the students are developing. At the same time, engaging in activities such as craftwork along with the children was a moment to to remember always.

GIS also thank all class teachers of Grade One, the subject teachers and the Grade Coordinator Ms. Shereen for managing the whole event so wonderfully. Also we would like to thank teachers of Grade 2 & 3 for the contribution given to make this event more colourful.
