EXTRA-CURRICULAR AND
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
At GIIS, we promote co-curricular activities for students outside the curricula which helps in the physical and emotional development of our students and helps them attain a comprehensive and well-rounded education outside of academics.
Introduction
We, at the GIIS Malaysia campus, believe in working with students to create future global citizens who are not only well educated, but also well-rounded. To help reach that goal, we have introduced various extra-curricular activities and divided all of our campuses into four houses. Students are placed into a house, and inter and intra-school competitions allow them to compete against other houses in academics, performing arts, fine arts, literature, and sports. These school and house activities help students showcase their learning while also developing a sense of teamwork and pride in individual accomplishments.

GIIS believes that its students are the innovators of tomorrow, and we strive to undertake school activities that encourage our students and educators alike to inspire innovation activities amongst our students today.
