GIS STUDENTS CELEBRATE OUTSTANDING IGCSE RESULTS! GIS students have been celebrating their spectacular IGCSE results. Following the May <strong>2017</strong> examination session, students were delighted to come away with a string of excellent grades. In total, students had a 83.5 per cent pass rate. And even more impressively, 88 per cent of students gained 5 or more passes at IGCSE. A pass is considered to be a grade ‘C’ or higher. In the UK in 2016, 67 per cent of students achieved grades A*-C for their GCSEs. Among the star students were Aakheel and Kanokrak (Pop), who both gained 10 passes, including 7 at A or A*. Also celebrating was Erica, who achieved 9 passes, including 7 at A*/A, while Mara was awarded 8 passes, including 6 A*s and two As. Peeraya (Kam) gained 9 passes, 5 of which were A* and 3 As. The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is run by Cambridge University and is the world's leading examination for 16-year-olds. GIS is the most established IGCSE centre in the region. The school's results are regularly far above the global average. In addition, several Year 10 students took IGCSE Mathematics a year early, and all passed, while some Year 9 students took IGCSE English as a Second Language (ESL) – and also enjoyed a 100 per cent success rate. One IGCSE Mathematics student scored an incredible 99 per cent in his examination. Mr Beales, Deputy Head of Secondary, officer, said: "These amazing results show the dedication of both our talented students and our teachers. The IGCSE is a major examination and we are very proud that GIS has again shown its results are well above average. To have so many subjects achieve 100 per cent pass rates is remarkable. We are also delighted that so many of these students have stayed and have now started the IB Diploma Programme.” 16
The battle to be House champions got off to a fun start. Primary and Secondary students took part in a range of challenges in a bid to get House points. These included a lavaflowing obstacle course, word challenge, quiz and a test of students' throwing abilities. Garden International School Your choice. Their future. Our family.
