GIS believes that there are many good reasons for parents to get involved in activities organised by the school. Whether it is the child’s first year or final year, getting involved in school activities is a great way to show the children that parents do take interest in their education.

Similarly, with the intention of strengthening the relationship between the school and the parents in order to motivate the students, GIS held this year’s first ‘Activity Day’ for the parents of Grade 1 & 2 on 19th March 2015.

During the event, parents enjoyed the activities planned for the day. It was delightful to see parents engaged in activities such as shuttle relay, tunnel ball, obstacle race and many other. As a last activity parents prepared traditional savoury dish called ‘Kulhi faaroshi’ and ‘Foni faaroshi’ which were eaten by all participants including students and the staff. At the end of the day, everybody went home happily and as a gesture of appreciation, a badge was presented to all parents by the teachers.

GIS creates such opportunities for parents to interact with teachers and strengthen the bond. ‘Activity Day’ for parents of other grades are also scheduled and will be held accordingly. The school has been holding this event since 2011 because both the school and the parents reap the benefits of such events.
