Monday 6th - Friday 10th of October
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YEAR 9 CAMP:
Please note that the departure
time for Year 9 camp on Tuesday 14th of October has moved an hour
earlier. Pupils should arrive at school and be ready to register in the
undercover courts at 6.40am. This is to ease traffic congestion around the
school site and ensure that we arrive at the camp in sufficient time to enjoy the
full itinerary of activities on the first day. The return times will be as
scheduled and pupils should be collected at 12.30pm from the undercover courts
on Friday 17th of October. Please accept my apologies for any
inconvenience this may cause.

Sport's Day - Quick Reflection!
It has been a short and yet very eventful week at GIS. Following a restful day on Monday, pupils and staff were treated to a great Sport's day on Wednesday. It was widely recognized that the event unfolded very smoothly. Mr Springall showing once again he has the ability to orchestrate such an event like a military operation and Mr Winstone's dulcet tones kept us all informed and amused throughout the day! Pupils were brilliant throughout the day but the event would not have been possible without without the hard work done by the heads of house, PE department and also teachers who were given different duties such as being track marshals or triple jump judges. Pictures from the event are still being processed and will follow in due course. My personal highlight was having happy birthday sung to me by such a large and tuneful body of pupils!
It really is great to see the GIS pupils giving so much effort outside of the class and remarkable how so many pupils supported each other from different year groups and even across houses! The pupils of GIS really are becoming well rounded individuals; I saw one pupils reading a book on the coach traveling to the stadium, arrive to help captain and lead their house, collect multiple gold medals for their individual sport's performances and then read on the way home!!!
Back to Business!
Normal lessons resumed for the remainder of the week and I would like to thank teachers for sending me pictures of their Year 9 pupils in lessons and giving such wonderful feedback about their pupils. Here are a couple of pictures from Miss Morrison in Science, in recent lessons her class have being having a great time conducting food tests.
I wish all pupils a relaxing weekend before the Year 9 camp next week!
