GIS Celebrates their Teaching Staff
June 9, 2021
On Friday the fourth of June, Botswana celebrated and recognised their dedicated educators across the country. As part of National Teachers Day, Gaborone International School (GIS) showed their appreciation with a token of gratitude.
We can never fit all our appreciation into one day, but GIS honoured each and every teaching staff member for the work they do. We all have that teacher. The one that inspired us. The one that encouraged us to ask questions, discuss topics and do the research. The one that affected and challenged our choices of a subject for future study. The one that helped us get where we are today. The one that made learning not only enjoyable but fun.
GIS acknowledge the critical role their teaching staff play shaping our children, the future leaders of our country. Their kind, patient, hard-working, dedicated, and understanding guidance that helps mould our children and lead them into positive directions do not go unnoticed.
We acknowledge that the past year our teachers had to adapt and follow strict new rules and safety protocols because of COVID-19, we as parents, all got a pretty clear glimpse into “a day in the life” of a teacher through our online classes. And we had found a greater appreciation for our teaching staff as we have seen just how much they do and how great their passion is to help our students succeed.
GIS are extremely proud of their teaching staff’s willingness to take on new opportunities, embrace world trends and encourage their students. “We take this opportunity to thank each of them for all they continuously do. We know that you will keep up the good work, and we hope that you all had a fantastic National Teachers’ Day!”

In the dynamic realm of education, technology plays a pivotal role in reshaping instructional methods and the learning experience at Gaborone International School (GIS ). From early childhood to higher education, technology permeates every facet of modern learning and unlocks diverse possibilities. 1. Early Computing Exposure: In the past, computer literacy was delayed to later schooling stages, but GIS prioritises early technology exposure. Even our youngest learners engage with educational software , mastering fundamental computer skills before literacy in traditional subjects. This early exposure not only equips them with essential tools but also cultivates comfort and adaptability in the digital era. 2. Online Research Integration: The internet allows GIS students to explore diverse subjects and access academic resources beyond textbooks. Platforms like Google Scholar empower students to enhance comprehension and critical thinking skills. 3. Educational Video Utilization: Platforms like YouTube serve as invaluable educational resources, offering diverse content across subjects. Supervised video viewing supplements classroom instruction, catering to various learning styles. For example, science teachers use YouTube to demonstrate chemical reactions, fostering deeper understanding and appreciation among students. 4. Robotics Integration: GIS' Science and Technology lab transcends theoretical learning, incorporating robotics for practical application. Students engage in experiential learning by building and programming robots, honing problem-solving skills across physics, engineering, and programming. 5. Enhanced Parental Engagement: Technology bridges school and home , facilitating smooth communication and parental involvement. Online platforms enable virtual school meetings, real-time access to academic reports, and effortless communication with teachers, strengthening the home-school partnership. In conclusion, technology has become integral at GIS , reshaping education and enriching the learning experience. From early childhood to advanced learning, technology empowers students to thrive in the digital age and beyond.
