Clubs & Activities

This program is aimed at helping our students connect with school, find friends with similar interests and explore fun and exciting skills outside the classroom environment. The programs that we have running at GSSC are based on teacher and student interests; our staff enjoy sharing their hobbies and skills. Clubs and Activities are open to any student to attend, and students can attend a range of different clubs during the week.
