On 21 November, we celebrated the end of the school journey for our Year 12 students. It was a wonderful evening for everyone — the students, their families, and the teachers.
The event included engaging (and pleasantly brief!) speeches, heartfelt thanks and congratulations, and plenty of time to let loose on the dance floor. You could feel the relief and joy of the students which made the celebration even more special. It truly was a night to remember.
Am 21. September feierten wir das Ende der Schulzeit unserer Zwölftklässler. Es war ein wunderbarer Abend für alle – die SchülerInnen, ihre Familien und die Lehrkräfte.
Die Veranstaltung bot ansprechende (und angenehm kurze!) Reden, herzliche Dankesworte und Gratulationen sowie viel Zeit, um sich auf der Tanzfläche auszutoben. Die Erleichterung und Freude der SchülerInnen war deutlich spürbar und machte die Feier noch besonderer. Es war wirklich ein unvergesslicher Abend.

Congratulations to our year 11 students on a successful TOK exhibition last week!
Thank you to their wonderful TOK teachers, Herr Fleischner and Mr Percival, who supported the students in their process.
It was a great opportunity for our Year 7-10 students to gain an insight into Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and what creative and critical thinking looks like in the IB Diploma Programme.

kinga from year 11 wins championship in archery
I went to Canberra and shot a 50/1440 and a 50/900 at the Open Target National Championship.
I am now the female Open Longbow National champion for both short and long range target.
It was a very enjoyable experience and I met a lot of nice people there.
Hopefully I can shoot at the championships next year as well.

uncle lee's maths "boot camps" for years 11 and 12 in 2026
For the Year 11 and Year 12 students interested in prepping for IB Maths with a private tutor, you might want to consider a one-day workshop with Uncle Lee?
Lee is one of our private IB STEM tutors who offers IB maths workshops/boot camps at GISS, during most term breaks.
Our students who've attended his boot camp workshops find his support and guidance encouraging, and the overview and study skills they gain, gives them more confidence as they transition into IB maths.
