GSIS Gazette – Issue #20

5th June 2020

Principal's Column

It has been another busy week at GSIS and the staff were all pleased to welcome back our DVOR and Y01 to our Pok Fu Lam campus.

As you know, the German Stream Taskforce (GST) was recently formed with its fundamental purpose being to increase enrolment numbers in the German International Stream. Our second meeting was held on Thursday to discuss in detail our admissions and marketing initiatives. How can we encourage and attract German or bi-lingual German-speaking families to join our German International Stream or non-German speaking students to join our Bilingual Kindergarten? We also spent some time evaluating the growth and latest trends which have given rise to fluctuating student numbers over the past few years. I would like to add that given the current worldwide situation, our current enrolment numbers in the German International Stream are very healthy indeed.

The Senior Management Team continues to enhance our school continuity plan which outlines how the school will continue in the event of more disruption and school closures. We are committed to providing effective home learning with efficient online platforms, as well as ensuring that our teachers are trained to enable them to seamlessly deliver lessons and support our students. We are also already preparing for the beginning of the next academic school year, in anticipation of revised guidelines from the Education Bureau.

I wish you all a healthy weekend.

Managing Director's Update

Dear Parents,

It has been another smooth week with students on campus.  Our Head Students have prepared some fun surprises for Secondary Students and I am sure that students will enjoy them!  In addition, we look forward to welcoming a full resumption of Y7 and Y8 from next Tuesday.  Furthermore, here are a few developments to update you.

One-off Financial Aid
With the original deadline of 5th June (today), 78% of the parent body have completed the survey.  We will now extend this to 8th June at 12:00pm and so please complete the survey as soon as possible, if you have not already done so.  Please note that the deadline will not be extended further beyond this date.

Bus Company Selection
We would like to thank the three parent representatives who volunteered to join the Bus Company Selection Committee to work with the school management, on behalf of parents.. We are pleased to share that the tendering and selection process have been completed.

  • Clearwater Bay area - Lau Hon Por Transportation Company (LHP)
  • All other areas - Kwoon Chung Motors (KCM)
  • Staff bus services -  Kingsview

Please join me in thanking the following three parent representatives for their contributions Mr York Schilling (DKG), Mr Sebastian Seitel (DKG) and Dr Solomon Y. J. Ka (Y01).

Voluntary Saturday classes

Dear Parents

After the long phase of online teaching we really enjoy having some life back here in school. Despite the restrictions imposed by the protective measures, the lessons are going well.

As you know, with our voluntary Saturday classes we give our students the opportunity to revise and get some extra practice after the long period of school closure:

About 30 students from all year groups have registered for this voluntary programme. In advance they had indicated subjects and subject areas that they would like to repeat or deepen, which helped the teachers to best prepare for their lessons. Last Saturday, we were off to our first review sessions with students revising various topics, clarifying questions and solving tasks with support from their teachers. There was also room for individual support and advice. We are pleased that so many students seized this opportunity, which shows their great motivation for updating and intensifying their knowledge. I would like to thank my colleagues for their dedication in taking on this additional task. The second round of review classes will take place on Saturday, 6 June.

English International Stream

From Head of English International Stream

Dear Parents

We welcomed our Year 13 graduates back to school this week to prepare for their Graduation that will take place next week. It will be a somewhat scaled-down event as we can only have fifty people in the IB Hall at a time but we are very pleased to be able to invite students into school for a meaningful ceremony. We will separate the Class of 2020 into four groups so that we meet the health requirements and the event will be streamed for family and friends.

As part of the graduation ceremony, we will also present Deutsche Sprachdiplom II certificates to seven students; this qualification confirms that these students have achieved sufficient fluency in the German language to be able to attend higher education institutions in Germany. We will also be presenting three other awards that have significance for the German Swiss community.

Petra Steinwehe Plate
Petra Steinwehe was a GSIS student who was passionate about Drama and the Theatre. She sadly passed away before her time and this award was created in her memory. The award is not given every year, it is only given when a student or students have shown exceptional commitment to Drama or Performance at GSIS and have excelled in this field.

Joel Dunn Award
This is the major award for the GSIS sporting year and is awarded to the student who has contributed to GSIS sport over a long period of time. It is named after Joel Dunn, a sports and mathematics teacher at school who passed away following an illness. The recipient of this award will have been involved in more than one sport and actively contributed to coaching, refereeing, captaincy as well as playing.

Malcolm Macaffer Award
This award is given in memory of Malcolm Macaffer who taught English at GSIS from 1989-1999 and founded the GSIS Debate Society. To receive the award, a student will have demonstrated a strong commitment to debate and, equally, possess superb written and oral communication skills in the English language.

We look forward to welcoming our Class of 2020 Graduates to school next Wednesday afternoon to mark their formal end to school life. The event will be streamed for family and friends.
