After School programmes

We offer Team Sports and a wide selection of other Sports as well as our Swim Programme, keeping students of all ages fit and active. Our Senior Sports Programme is aligned to the 3 ACSIS seasons to offer High School students (G9-12) the option to participate in different sports every season. Moreover, training twice-a-week (plus matches), will give them a better physical, technical and tactical preparation to face other schools.

Our participation in the “Athletic Conference of Singapore International Schools” (ACSIS) affords GESS students the opportunity to compete in sports tournaments involving other international schools in Singapore. ACSIS divides the school year into three sporting seasons, starting in August and ending in May.

More information on our CCA programme can be found in our handbook. To learn more about our school teams and tournaments please visit our Sports Portal. To check on enrolment dates and to submit your children’s CCA preferences please visit the CCA Portal.

The Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) programme at GESS has more than 90 CCAs on offer. The activities, aimed at different age groups, cover everything from music, creative arts, performing arts, science and technology and other life-long skills. These activities are considered part of the school’s educational programme and students get the opportunity to develop new talents or to build up existing strengths.

More information on our CCA programme can be found in our handbook. To check on enrolment dates and to submit your children’s CCA preferences please visit the CCA Portal.

Students at GESS have the opportunity to take private music or vocal lessons at school with the advantage that the school takes care of all the organising and coordinates with the Homeroom teachers.

GESS has brought together some of Singapore’s finest professional musicians to provide one-to-one tuition in either a 30 or 45-minute weekly lesson. Lessons are offered at an additional fee (starting from $47 per 30 mins lessons) during the school day and after school.

The program includes homework supervision and activities such as crafts, painting, playtime and social learning. After 2:45 pm students can join the CCA program or go home.

In Primary School, all students can join a weekly 90-minute language programme designed for native or near-native speakers of the language. The cost of the programme is the same as CCA.
