The Ghana International School (GIS) presents its annual musical to the National Theatre on March 19 and 20, 2024.
This year, they’ll present a beloved classic: “The Sound of Music.” The cast will reflect the school’s inclusive spirit, featuring students from various backgrounds and cultures.
Mr. Frank Amponsah-Mensah the principal of the school told the media that GIS aims to provide a well-rounded education and that co-curricular activities like musicals play a vital role alongside academics.
He added that this is their second time performing “The Sound of Music.”
“For Ghana International School, one of the things that we aim to do is to make sure that our students get a complete school experience by the time they’re leaving school. The school is not only about academics, of course, we emphasise academics and our records are excellent every year, but we also know that co-curricular activities contribute to making a whole student” Frank said.
“So these musicals are part of the offer that we have so our students get the opportunity to be involved in these essentially non-academic aspects which I dare say helps in their academics. This is the second time we are doing the musical “The Sound Of Music” He added
This exciting two-day event won’t just feature GIS students. Other senior high schools, including Accra Girls’ and Labone, will also be performing.
A Brief Look at Ghana International School
Founded in 1955, even before Ghana gained independence, GIS was a pioneer in international education. This private, non-profit school has always been coeducational and non-sectarian, welcoming students of all races and creeds.
Their mission of providing quality education continues today, catering to both international and local students in a competitive educational landscape.
