The school dedicated this award in memory  of Late Ali Nazim, one of the greatest teachers of this nation, who breathed his last breath in the line of duty. He drowned while rescuing students who were pulled by a strong current on a Fisheries Science  experiential field trip to K. Hura.  While he rescued many, four students perished with him ;  Mariyam Shaiha, Aishath Shaniha, Nash’ath Saeed and Mariyam Naaz. May Allah bless their gentle souls and award them the highest rank in Heaven.
When Mr. Nazim died, he was serving as the Principal of Hiriya School. He  was an excellent teacher, an outstanding leader, a wonderful friend and a loving father. His dedication and commitment to teaching is unmatched and one of its kind. The nation salutes his martyrdom and we at GIS honour him by introducing an award in his name.
