Service as action is an integral part of the programme at GIS, especially in the MYP community project. Action and service have always been shared values of the IB community. GIS Students take appropriate action when they apply what they are learning in the classroom and beyond, thereby striving to be caring members of the community who demonstrate a personal commitment to service in both the local as well as global contexts — making a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment. They did a Dengue Awareness Programme in a government school, educating the rural students on the preventive measures, symptoms and treatment methods for the same and distributed bottles of neem oil, which is a natural repellant for dengue mosquitoes. Also, they imparted adequate knowledge to the people in the nearby localities on the importance of using clean water. In addition to all this, they also actively participate with much zeal in activities like organic gardening, where they learn about the pernicious and detrimental effects of usage of environmental unfriendly chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
