Very good. These meets are regular; 2-3 times per term, with a lot of interaction between teachers & parents. Mr Mann, the principal, is a hands-on individual and has attended all all the meets making him approachable & very accessible.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

There may be a wait-list as admission is competitive.

This school is well-runned and dynamic. There is healthy sense of competitiveness and the atmosphere is invigorating. Glad to be a part of the school! My son who used to hate his primary school looks forward to his year 8 classes each day & has remarked that time flies at GiS. That is indeed a compliment to the teachers and to the school. Keep up the good work, GIS!
