At GSIS we put a great deal of emphasis on involvement in extra curricular activities. Such involvement helps students to feel a part of the school community and allows them to develop skills other than the purely academic. Extra curricular activities are also a source of much enjoyment and often, when a student has represented the school, reached a particular goal or simply performed to the best of his/her ability, they can be a source of well-deserved pride. Universities are also aware of the benefits of extra curricular activities, which is why they look for a varied range of interests when they consider applications. The Primary and Secondary Departments each offer various activities that are specifically suitable for the different age groups.

Sports GSIS has a variety of sports teams including basketball, football, rugby, hockey, tennis, netball, swimming, golf, athletics, table tennis, badminton, squash and cross-country. Most of the sports offered have both junior and senior teams offering opportunities for students throughout the age range to participate. Most of our teams compete in Inter-School competitions.

Choirs Many of our students moving up fro the Primary Department maintain their involvement in the school choir. Students from Years 7 to 9 add their voices to the very impressive Junior Choir, whilst the students of Years 10-13 contribute to the Senior Choir. Both these groups perform at the annual Carol Singing and in the Summer Concert. School Orchestra The school has a small but talented orchestra and new members are always welcome. As well as performing at a variety of school events, the orchestra plays annually at the Carol Singing and in the Spring Concert. GSIS Big Band The GSIS Big Band has, over the years, become quite an institution. Perhaps best known for the lively jazz accompaniment it provides at the annual School Bazaar, the Big Band is also asked to play at events throughout Hong Kong.

Each year there is a school production and students are involved in all aspects of these performances, including the stage management, sound and lighting, make-up, costumes, front of house, etc. The German Language Theatre Group also puts on a production each year in German.
