Every October, we host our Future Week, a special event tailored for different year groups. While the younger students embark on exciting camp trips, our students in Years 11-13 will engage in a series of conference-style talks, workshops, and sessions right here at school. The focus is on helping them explore and prepare for their future journeys. This year, we’re placing emphasis on cultivating resilience as a key skill. A dedicated talk centred around this theme will provide valuable insights for our students. Here’s to a week of growth, discovery, and preparation for the road ahead! Our Garden International School Malaysia Futures Week 2023 was a tremendous success! A heartfelt thank you to our Higher Education team for creating an exceptional experience for our Sixth Formers! Here’s a glimpse of the highlights:
- Our university fair provided students with the opportunity to engage with representatives from leading universities worldwide, exploring exciting programs and campus life.
- Thought-provoking discussions on career choices, personal growth, and more left everyone inspired and motivated.
This year, we have the wonderful opportunity to welcome our GIS alumni, Benny Price, back to our school community. Benny, a distinguished graduate from the Class of 2009, has since become a notable professional in his field. Currently serving as the Chief Operating Officer at RTS Global and the CEO at Joomla, Benny has excelled in his career and continues to make significant contributions.
We look forward to Benny sharing his insights, experiences, and success stories with our current students. His journey since leaving GIS serves as an inspiration for all, demonstrating the incredible paths our alumni can forge. Stay tuned for an engaging and enlightening session with Benny Price, as we celebrate the achievements of one of our own.
“It was an incredible experience being back at Garden School as a keynote speaker. I was by no means a top student and had a very convoluted academic and career path that has somehow resulted in me being fortunate enough to do what I love at the highest level, but it involved many ups and downs and hard lessons learnt along the way. It was a privilege to be able to share that journey with the senior students and reassure them that the path need not look clear now for it to still work out. I encouraged them to try things out, for there’s no discovery without exploration, and hopefully helped them avoid some of the mistakes I made with the 10 things I wish someone had told me!”
