Weave-a-Tale
This is a story-telling competition for students from Kindergarten to Secondary Grades, which attempts to instil the art of narrating a story in students, as well as encourage the art of listening.
The objective is to encourage students to use their linguistic skills, imagination and creativity to bring out the story-teller in them. It not only develops their communication skills but also instills confidence in them.
HI-Q Quiz
General Knowledge contests are the sharpest tests of the mind among students which encourage them to be aware of what is happening around the world.
Our HI-Q Quiz is more than just general knowledge. It involves Maths, Science, Geography, History and Contemporary History and Arts as part of the quiz questions which makes it one of the most competitive contests of its kind.
The idea is to give students an opportunity to test their knowledge at competitive levels, develop their quick-thinking skills and inspire to be the next Aryabhatta or Einstein. They also get to meet their peers from sister GIIS campuses and learn to compete at an inter-school level.
For Grades 1-5 the different rounds in the quiz cover the entertainment world, Singapore, famous monuments and personalities, flora and fauna, current affairs, audio-visual and rapid fire. Each round is truly innovative and challenging. The participating teams get support and encouragement from GIIS teachers and parents to prepare for the quiz.
For the Global Montessori Plus children the competition questions are based on mazes, puzzles, rhymes, visual rounds, mathematical questions, GK questions and several topics covered in the curriculum
