Our new innovative co-curricular (AG) program for 2024 "Strengthening Skills for Lifelong Learners," will foster a dynamic learning environment that propels students toward becoming lifelong learners equipped with indispensable skills for success in our interconnected world. It will place a strong emphasis on skill development and the embodiment of our unique learner profile.
Aligned with the GISS Teaching and Learning Framework, the new AG concept has been designed to promote cultural awareness and foster critical and creative thinking. It focuses on the following four key areas:
A. Global Citizenship, B. Innovation & Technology, C. Physical & Emotional Wellbeing and D. Creative Expression.
How to choose AGs
For 2024, each student from Year 1 to Year 6 will need to select one activity per term, making sure that all four areas are covered across the entire year. Please note, you will need to select a different coloured activity for each term (please refer to booking table below). Exceptions to this are the Musical AG and the Dance AG. These must be selected for an entire semester, however, a student who has selected one of these semester-long options must select two different activities from different areas for the remaining terms.
Year 7 students will only need to choose 2x AGs as they will have IT lessons in one semester and AGs in the other semester. If the student selects the Dance AG or Musical AG, they don’t need to choose another AG as both AGs are for the entire semester.
In the Primary school, there will be a reduction in AG afternoons to just one session (Tuesdays). This adjustment is intended to create room for the implementation of the ‘Grow Your Mind’ framework for students from Kindergarten to Year 4.
As the AG Bookings will be open from Thursday, 1 Feb @ 5pm via Operoo, please make sure you have your Operoo account set up and your log-in details on hand.
