The GESS Story – As Told by The Community

Former staff and students of GESS and current longtime staff share stories about the school from their own experiences and perspectives. Even as GESS celebrates it 50th year anniversary in the academic year 2021/22, these stories form a key component of the oral history we hope to capture about the school's 50 years as an international school in Singapore.
