It gives us great pleasure to share with you the extraordinary success of our boys and girls in the sporting arena over the year, not only at the school stage but nationally too. 2013-14 was a year of record participation at different levels for all campuses. A true testament to the talent, passion, commitment and hard work not only of the students but of the School PE teachers and coaches who work tirelessly in the background. There is a real sense of excitement at the moment around sports at GIIS and I hope this shines through the next session.
