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.
