Model United Nations at KGIS

As part of our ever growing and diverse Extra-Curricular Programme, the English Department, under the supervision of Ms. Kate and Mr. Abdullah, has launched Model United Nations (MUN). The club has already grown since the beginning of Term 2 and is one of our most popular activities! The MUN is a simulation of the United Nations where students assume the roles of delegates from different countries and engage in debates, negotiations and resolution writing on current global issues. MUN provides students with an opportunity to learn about diplomacy, international relations, leadership, public speaking and to develop their critical thinking skills

Participating in MUN exposes students to a diverse group of individuals with different cultural backgrounds and perspectives, fostering an understanding of cultural diversity and global awareness. It also helps students develop their research skills as they prepare their position on a particular country's stance on the issue being discussed.

Thus far, we have been extremely impressed by the attitude, enthusiasm and global awareness shown by our participants! To find out more about the MUN, please speak to Ms. Kate: kate.m@kgis-edu.com

Student Council Beach Clean Up

We were so proud of all the students who joined the Al Hail Beach Clean Up organised and led by the Student Council! Special thanks to Grade 11 students Shourya Menon and Barsam Talebi (Deputy Head Girl and Deputy Head Boy) who took a lead role in driving this initiative.

This year the Student Council have chosen to focus on the environment and have been thinking about how to make KGIS a more environmentally place, as well as how to protect the local environment. Around 50 students gave up their time after school to collect and remove litter and debris on Al Hail Beach in order to protect the environment and preserve this beautiful part of the coastline for the local community to enjoy safely. We aim to ensure that all our students fulfil their responsibility as active global citizens, and this is a shining example of citizenship in action. We look forward to even more students working together for the next planned clean up!

KG2 Gingerbread Men

KG2 were very lucky this week as they got to finally make their gingerbread men. They spent lots of time reading all about The Gingerbread Man and his adventure. Have a look at our Gingerbread men which were made outside in the sunshine this week!
