After-School

We offer team sports and a wide selection of other sports as well as our swim programme, keeping students of all ages fit and active. Our Senior Sports Programme is aligned to the 3 ACSIS seasons to offer high school students (G9-12) the option to participate in different sports every season. Moreover, training twice a week (plus matches), will give them better physical, technical and tactical preparation to face other schools.

Our participation in the “Athletic Conference of Singapore International Schools” (ACSIS) affords GESS students the opportunity to compete in sports tournaments involving other international schools in Singapore. ACSIS divides the school year into three sporting seasons, starting in August and ending in May.

CCA Overview

The Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) programme at GESS has more than 100 CCAs on offer. The activities, aimed at different age groups, cover everything from music, creative arts, performing arts, science and technology and other life-long skills. These activities are considered part of the school’s educational programme and students get the opportunity to develop new talents or to build up existing strengths.

CCA Overview

The wider GESS community, including students, parents, faculty, staff and even neighbouring families can learn a variety of musical instruments within the Vocal and Instrumental Programme (VIP). Our VIP allows students to extend their exploration of the world of music beyond the classroom by learning a musical instrument during and after school. Find out more about VIP here.

The Language Enrichment Programme (LEP) is a weekly 90-minute language enrichment course that aims to build fluency in family languages. LEP focuses on delivering fun, interactive, authentic language-focused activities and supports the development of cultural knowledge, identity and pride. More information can be found here.

GESS Model United Nations is a co-curricular activity offered to Middle School and High School students from both sections. GESS MUN gives students exposure to real-world foreign diplomacy scenarios. Students participate in UN simulation exercises as delegates representing different countries, researching and debating their positions on critical global issues.

Every year students attend 3 to 4 local and 1 international MUN conference as delegates. In previous conferences, GESS MUN delegates have outshone 100 to 500 delegates to win Best Delegate awards and honourable commendations.

CCA sessions are spent training students in research, debating, situation analysis, and negotiation skills, preparing them to face delegates from schools all around the world confidently. Find out more about GESS MUN here.
