School Organisation

GEIS is divided into four Mini-Schools with an Assistant Principal responsible for each team. The nature of these Mini-Schools promotes a school within a school ideology. This fosters a culture of belonging and pride for our students and staff. Our Mini-Schools are named after local West Coast beaches that acknowledge the uniqueness of our local community.
